Dakota and I went on another long walk this evening, this time with my camera, which arrived back fixed from Canon today (yay!). I snapped many of the waterpoints along the way down to the pool and the creek. The creek was swollen with the April rain we've been getting, and the light was ashen, slicking the trees and plants.
I like a number of the pictures.
This one of red oaks loosening their little lacemes behind a sign has good color.
I uploaded this picture of roots and moss even though it is blurry, because every time I look at it my eyes try to focus as if I'm blurry, not the picture.
Dakota jaunts away from a watered fireplug.
A pipe piece became an eye to the sky and this tiny violetta got special treatment for Kristie Home's sake.
There were a lot of beautiful barks that looked like Japanese Stewartia, but I won't be sure until much deeper into the summer.
This huge, amazing burl is my favorite moment of the walk. It was huge, probably nearly two feet across, and snaked on either side by the furry snakes of poison ivy vine.
Dakota strolled on the little rock beach and even got his feet wet!
I liked the dual puddles that occur from tire traffic and the excellent lines in this picture of rail and mirror puddle.
Finally, a ghost tree, taken as it got a bit darker, but sans flash. It really seemed this blue in person, too. I gasped and had to delete some other pictures to get it.
One extra for John: Dakota Growfing
