gosh it's quiet around here today

[blueraven95]

anyone have anything to show us?

I do, but I'm at work so I don't have access to it :-(

let's see what you've got!

[JeffR]

1. I'm sagging under a ton of work

but since I work from home, here goes:

A quick snap of fireworks from the front yard last spring (with streetlights & trees obscuring them)

[blueraven95]

3. oooh, very nice

I love that shade of red!

[Blue_In_AK]

2. Here are a few more from our trip last weekend.

4. wow

the clouds seem so low. Was it actually that way, or is it an illusion?

Until I met you here, I had no idea Alaska was so colorful!

[Blue_In_AK]

8. No, the clouds were low.

The day we were in the park the weather wasn't too bad, but as we headed across the Denali Highway the next day, we got pretty socked in. Later after these shots it was a downpour. I still got some pretty good pictures through the rain -- I just haven't gotten to them yet for processing. I was glad I had my lens hoods. :)

12. I remember you saying the weather was going to be iffy

it looks like you did more than okay though.

The low clouds really give the photos atmosphere (pun intended).

5. Gorgeous, look at the color

I might take a trip to Eng, Austria this weekend to the Ahornboden. It's a valley of maple trees, one of the only areas with such a concentration of maples in Germany. If the weather cooperates, I hope the peak hasn't passed yet.

I really miss Vermont and New Hampshire right now. :(

6. okay, this is from dec 07, but

got misfiled on my hd, recently discovered/found/saved

[blueraven95]

7. how pretty!

where is that?

:hi:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

10. Marion, NC

[Mz Pip]

9. Some close ups

I had a tough time deciding. THese are a couple of my other ones. Maybe I should have done a poll. :-)

[blueraven95]

11. I really like the first one

beautiful!

[Cassandra]

18. That purple flower is just gorgeous!

What is it?

I had some other choices I was considering, too.
Kale


An aster with a bee or a wasp (?)


And my rump raspberry

[Tindalos]

19. I like the aster

It's a hoverfly btw. Bees and wasps have 2 sets of wings. In flies, the second set are reduced to drumstick-shaped halteres (stabilizers).

Bee mimics are really cool.

[Mz Pip]

21. The kale

is really cool. Looks almost like rolling waves.

My purple flower is a clematis.

[Cassandra]

22. Of course, it's not just the flower that's beautiful.

Your photograph is really great.

[blueraven95]

24. I second the kale

It's cool!

13. Nothing particularly good new, but

here are some from over the past 6 months or so that I haven't gotten around to posting.

From last spring, dogs chasing a tennis ball:



Valley in Rocky Mountain National Park



Horsetooth Reservoir near Fort Collins, Colorado



Wild irises in the Indian Peaks region of Colorado

[blueraven95]

15. wonderful

I particularly like the second one.

[MissHoneychurch]

14. A frog

I almost stepped on it because the camouflage was so good ....

[blueraven95]

16. what fun composition

I like frogs! I think they are supposed to bring good luck.

[intheflow]

17. That's great!

I love those "Where's Waldo" wildlife shots! :hi:

[Tindalos]

20. Here's a couple from today.

My friend and I found a beautiful garden while we were out walking.

[blueraven95]

23. lovely!

I particularly like the color of the first one.

[Samurai_Writer]

25. Milller Woods

[blueraven95]
