All this rain we’ve been having lately has made everything around here a brand new shade of bright green.
I had to get my wide angle out this afternoon.
And by the time I got home the clouds had mostly cleared, letting the moon shine brightly through.
I couldn’t decide if I liked it better in color or black and white. What do you think?
Stopped by Lake Wilderness before going to work this afternoon.
Beautiful day, lots of people were already out, enjoying the day. Many of them were fishing, including one couple who were already out on the lake in their boat.
They looked so peaceful out there on the calm waters that they became my subject for today’s photo.
I’m pretty sure the man knew I was there, and probably thought I was a weird creeper in the bushes.
I like how the color reflected in the water
I woke to sunshine this morning! It was a pleasant change from all the gray gloom we’ve been having. I grabbed my Easter supplies, which I had purchased and had “on deck” for just a morning, and headed outside to take some photos in the grass.
I definitely want to work with these subjects more, on my next sunny opportunity, here’s what we have so far.
(He’s watching you…)
We had some sunshine today, and though Toby (the dog) and I didn’t get out as much as we probably should have, we did venture into the yard this afternoon (as well as the dog park, I’m not a terrible dog owner yet).
I like how the sun was backlighting the veins of this seedpod
This small rose is either a hanger-on from last fall or an early bird..either way, I’m happy he’s here!
We had plans to eat this tonight for dinner, but as soon as I made the first cut I knew I would need to put it in my light box before that happened!
It’s sitting on one of my lenses.
Though arguably a bit boring, I like the color tones in this image.
I had a little time this afternoon before going into work, so I thought I would drive to the nearby park and see what I could see.
I drove under this bridge on the way and decided to stop there.
Which then led me to notice how the misty rain was settling on everything not bridge-covered.
Actually, just singular mushroom.
Though I did find many, of several different varieties, all within about 20 feet of my door!

There is always so much to photograph after the rain has fallen.
It rained like crazy here the other morning, and then stopped abruptly around the middle of the day, to allow the sun to break through the clouds and shine down.
I went looking for a park noted as May Creek Park on Google maps.
What I found was a beautiful little road, hidden in the middle of town, but a world of its own. I didn’t want to leave.

Reaching up
See? My newest friend likes me :)
May Creek
The forest for the trees
I looked it up again online when I got home, and it doesn’t seem to have a parking area or specific access/entry point like I was expecting to find. I guess I found the park, but who knows. Maybe if I went back the road I drove down wouldn’t even be there anymore. :)
No, not you. Not anything, actually. I’ve just been an insect/bug paparazzi the last few days. Maybe it has something to do with spending time in actual YARDS as opposed to my dark, man-made deck.
Bugs are fun.
Can you see the spider? ;)
Spiders are so weird up close. They have so many things that look like they could be eyes, and they always seem to be looking right at you.
The one thing I haven’t been able to photograph is snails. Not because they aren’t around, they are everywhere! But as soon as my mom sees one, it’s as good as smooshed already. A shattered shell with bits of goo sticking to it does not a photo make. ;)
