I had a nice long hike yesterday. I was gone most of the day, and I am very tired. It's actually a great feeling to be tired in this way. The day was very satisfying. For this post I'm just going to show you some scenes from my day. I'm going to keep this at very few words. Consider it a sneak peek of what's to come.
Come on Ratty spill the beans on what the third photograph is!!
ReplyDeleteI do not think the second is a bird, I have doubt on both of them: 2nd and 3rd.
ReplyDeleteMike - The third photo is a plant called Common Milkweed. As the name suggests, they are quite common near me. I wrote a post a while back giving a description of it in my own strange way. Here's the link if you're interested: Milkweed

Rainfield - The second photo is indeed a bird. I used a dark photo purposely, so I can show the better ones later. The third one is a milkweed plant, like I explained to Mike. I tell a little about it in the link I left at the end of my answer to him. It's a very interesting plant, and it has some relation to butterflies.
These photos remind me of my neck of the woods.I'm in upstate New York.That third picture,I knew exactly what it was before I came to your comments page.We also have a lot of them.Great shots and a nice place to go for a hike.
ReplyDeleteOH, a new hiking spot! You know I'm anxious to hear more!
ReplyDeleteNice Rat. Definitely relaxing and satisfying, hiking and taking photos.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Short post for a long walk. Looking forward to rest of the story.
Gregorio - What I've seen of upstate New York is beautiful. The milkweed is a favorite of mine. And the hiking park I was in makes it easy to get great photos.

Sharkbytes - Actually, this one is one of my regular haunts. It's a huge place, and I found some good stuff there this time.

Ron Centeno - Yeah, I always come back from a hiking trip feeling relaxed.
I wanted to tell more in this post, but I was tired and falling asleep. A good hiking trip does that to me sometimes. There will definitely be stories to tell from that trip. I found some very good things this time.
I love the photos of the seed pods in winter - like the use of light. Wishing you well - keep taking photos on your walks -and please share.
ReplyDeleteLucky you....melting snow and most of it gone! We got even more snow today!
ReplyDeleteNice Picts Thanks for Sharing :D
ReplyDeleteI forgot in my last comment to tell you to head over to my blog site, there is a blogger's award awaiting you there!
ReplyDeleteThis all looks so peaceful. I miss my nature and countryside. Thanks for sharing yours.
ReplyDeleteMarlene - These pods are one of my favorite plants. I'll be sharing all of this for as long as I can, and with a little more writing next time. :)

The Retired One - Instead of snow, we're getting rain and more rain. It's causing flooding in some places.
I'll be over to visit your site shortly. :)

April - Thank you for your comment. I've got some better ones coming up.

Grottogirl - I'm glad I can help. Even looking up at the sky in a city can transport you to nature.
wow, i don' think i have seen a common wilkweed before, the picture looks very interesting. it is shaped like a banana blossom.
ReplyDeleteBetchai - The milkweed pods in my newest picture is an empty shell from last year. When spring gets here and the plants grow green again, they are very interesting. I think I have photos on this site of this particular plant at all stages except for the very earliest.
ReplyDeleteInteresting pics! I need to do a photo walk sometime...
ReplyDeleteYou have an award on my blog!
I think the Milkweed pods are definitely alien motion detectors monitoring your adventures. Well I can pretend can't I?
ReplyDeleteVaBookworm - A walk through nature with a camera is one of the most relaxing things to do. It may not be quite as exciting as a trip to England, but you can do it whenever you want.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the award. I really appreciate it.

Scott - If I start behaving strangely normal here, it's because the alien pod people got me. :) Pretending is one of my favorite things.
I love your photos, I love landscapes and the perception you create through them is great. I am a graphic designer and I am so demanding in terms of picture qualities, good job. internet web site design
ReplyDeleteCaroline Tuck - Thank you for your wonderful compliment. It means a lot coming from someone like you.
