We started out this morning walking to the meadows to hunt for wildflowers, and practice taking pictures of them. There are many photos I deleted, or cropped to make better, but I think I will eventually get the hang of our camera. Paul took better pictures than I did - so I'll give him credit for the really great pics that we were able to get. I won't post all of them here - you can use the link to the Spring 2007 Wildflowers if you want to see all of them. But here are a few that were fun for me to take. I actually took the ones on this blog (after many pointers from Paul).
I took this one, too - it's not wildflowers, but the new pinecones are starting to come out, so it was neat to see the new with last year's too.
This is a massive tree - I can't even stretch my arms as wide as the base of the trunk is. I saw this vine on the bottom growing up the bark - I was trying to focus on the leaves, but for some reason I could only get the bark in focus. Then I realized that the leaves were poison ivy, and I stopped trying to get them in focus. Figured the bark was a better shot.
I liked how the purple veins turned out in this picture. I had to put my finger in front of the lense in order for the auto-focus to work, but I eventually got the shot I wanted.
Okay, that's all that I'll post here...check the link for more if you are in one of the states that is still battling snow or freezing rain. And don't dispair - spring is coming soon!!!

LEAVES OF THREE, LET IT BE! Geez, you call yourself a CAMPER and don't e ven recognize poison ivy! That is scary. The pictures are fun though. It's nice to see that someone is enjoying Spring; we had 3 days of spring here in Blacksburg, but now it is back to 40 degree weather (as a HIGH and w/o the windchill). But only 2 months until May and I graduate and get out of this miserable weather!

I decided to save some of the flower pictures and am now using them for my desktop picture to brighten my day up a little bit :)
