So I started to wonder with my camera.  What is better when your bored then a field full of these?  Lots of  them everywhere...

Yesterday I had been out in the courtyard looking at the color in my neighbors flower bed, and noticing some things that weren't there last week.  Then as I was walking across the lawn I looked down and noticed this hiding in the grass.  Then I started to look around and saw that  there were more of them that the heavy rains brought out.  When I got back to my own area I saw these very tiny red buds.  I actually have been stalking a small rabbit that is hiding in the bushes in front of my condo, but he is so fast I am going to have to be really patient in order to capture his picture.

Looks like the muggy weather is leaving tonight and that tomorrow will be a better day.  Life is busy, but I took a little time to shoot some pictures after school today.

My Mom and I went Morel picking this morning. The Flowers and Morels are starting to grow. We found enough morels for a Morel supper along with mac and cheese. The  Morel is one of my favorite spring snacks. The White Trillium will be blooming soon along with many other wildflowers.

I went for a walk yesterday & saw some other signs that spring has arrived!

I recently got a new camera and I've been trying to learn all it's settings.  Here's some of the pics I've taken recently.

Done for the day.

I fired up the grill to cook some porkchops and was playing while I waswaiting for the coals to be ready.

Just a couple mushroom shots.

And finally a shot that would have make my co-workers wonder about my sanity if they saw it.  We were pouring concrete at work.

As I get older, I love the fall more and more. This year especially, as mushroom hunting is a new favorite pasttime of ours. 13 pounds of chanterelles, our biggest haul to date, meant we had to forego highly amusing gastric opportunities.

Here's one for the theme

Lil' and I were at our son's football practice and we both had our cameras.  Surprise.  So we took a walk in the pines by the field.  Now I am home on a Friday night with a cold.  Because it was cold and wet.  But I got some good shots.  People think we are nuts!! Our poor sons are probabley embarrassed of us. My son said they thought it was lightening.  But then they realized it was our camera flashes.  mossy pine Mossy pine 2 mushroom Pine pine cones pinecone 2

It was very foggy this morning; great day for a walk!  I didn't get very far before I turned around and went back home to get my camera.  I hope you enjoy the gallery; it even has some ~shudder~ spiders in it.
Morning Walk

Decided to check out the creek by my place. It was very quiet and clear . As I made my way down the bank towards the weeds . I saw a turtle swimming away. I looked down and saw the head of a frog . There were many rocks and moss in the water. There was a tree stump sticking out of the water. I also saw a mushroom growing on the side of a tree. I took one more pic before I left. And is you look closely there another frog looking up at me.

Starting November 13th, I took a roadtrip across the nation - beginning in New Orleans, LA, and ending in Seattle, WA. I honed my skills at shooting my digital from moving vehicles - such as this shot of a breezy (experimental aircraft) shot from an autogyro (another experimental aircraft) in Lafayette, LA. On a road trip through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, and up the Left Coast, one can see unusual things, such as a snowstorm in the Mojave.

Shooting from the car was the norm on this trip, like these pictures from West Texas of a tree and an oil well. This is a railside grain mill also in West Texas, which we left to drive through the middle of nowhere and observe a very memorable sunset in New Mexico. Occasionally, I'd get out of the car and get to shoot Elana and Bisous having fun on a beach in the redwoods, or an eerie moonrise. There are many beautiful shots of the redwood forests, but I picked these mossy trees and this tiny mushroom for an illustration of scale.
