Scenes from the lake
Before I foist anymore tulip photos upon you, I offer you some scenes from the lake this past weekend. I braved black flies and mosquitoes and yes, even a black bear (I found myself inadvertantly sitting in its scat as I waited for the woodchuck to stop chucking and come out of the proverbial woodpile) in order to get these shots and more. Ah, the siren call of the Nikon....

My favorite is the 4th one...what is that (no, I don't EVER go camping)?
I wanted to say Prairie Dog, but he looked a bit too beefy.
Beaver? Didn't think his teeth looked big enough!
Better you than me out there!
:) Terri
cool pics, thank you....
but how could you sit in bear scat and not know it?
Terri, I think it's a woodchuck or groundhog. He puffed himself up and charged me because I think he was protecting babies.
Laughing wolf, when I say I sat "in" bear scat, I meant I sat surrounded by it at my feet. I sat on a big boulder and a log at one point, but when I looked down, there it was. I'm going to have to pay attention this summer.

That second to last photo -- is that a fungi or some such? Thank you, again, for the incredible pics. I won't be posting for the next few days -- we're headed out on vacation (Yosemite National Park). Take care....

Midge, that's lichen growing on a birch trunk.
Have fun on vacation!
ok, i thought you meant literally ;)

Dear Pam,
I feel like breaking into a rousing renditon of "O Canada!"
or perhaps "Land of the Silver Birch". Thanks for the little bit of home.
I still want to know more about your camera.
Bises xo

Bonjour Laura!
I have a Nikon D200 with an 18-200mm lens, which is the one I use most of the time, and a micro 105mm for extreme close-ups. To say I love it is an understatement. I want to run away with it and have ten thousand of its babies. I originally wanted a D80, also a fab camera, but they offered me a demo D200 for about the same price, so I went with that one.
Doug has a Canon EOS which he loves and uses every day in the office. My sister has one two and so does Karen.
Day-am, woman, you're rocking this picture thang. :)
