Well, they took all our rain out of the forecast except for a tiny possibility today.  Drizzly this morning.  Dreary too.  Anyway, on to the image.  I decided to share another from the archives from a trip to West Virginia.  This is Elekara No. 204 in the Blackwater Falls region.  It was quite lovely and I did a long exposure image to get this look.  It was shady which helped as I had forgotten my filter on the trip.

Warm but dreary day and also windy since it's warm.  Sigh.  I decided on something from the archives today.  Here is a cute little Chipmunk that I was able to see and get photographs of as he stopped along his route to pose for me.  I saw this little guy in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Wow, somehow I missed posting on Monday.  Oops.  Ironic too for those who know the significance of that day.  I was busy that day but my bad.  :-)

Anyway, I wanted to post this image I was able to capture of a  Black Capped Chickadee that sat still in my in-law's Ornamental Pear tree long enough for a photograph.  I thought the blooms made it look framed rather lovely.

I have had this image for a while and decided to share it today.  It's of a lovely grass that some friends of ours have in Lawrence.  I hope to find some of this to buy when I go plant shopping this year, it's quite lovely I think.  It's called Sea Oat Grass and I darkened up the background on it to make the seed heads stand out better.

Well, another cold morning that's stressing everything that bloomed so early due to the exceptionally warm weather.  This image warms me up by thinking of warm locomotives and warmer days.  :-)  This is our train on one of our trips to the Cumbres & Toltec railroad stopped at Osier station for lunch.  Lunch is included in the ticket and is always quite good.  I hurry through it though to get back outside to take images of the train.  Our train was headed to Chama, New Mexico and pretty soon the train to Antonito, would be pulling in.  I shared an image a while back of the next train headed to Chama and the Antonito one sitting at opposite ends of the station.  They were small in the vast landscape.

Posting a bit late today as I was busy and then my computer did not want to wake up.  Guess it was lazy.  Anyway, this is a cool fungus I saw out in PA.  Actually the hubster spotted it first.  It was really this bright yellow looking, I did not do anything to it.  It was clinging to a broken branch of a tree lying on the ground.

I am posting early because I have a day off today.  So far a cold but sunny morning.  Calling for rain but I shall believe it when I see it.  We need it very badly though.  The snow did not help much.  My image for today is a lovely group of Daffodils under the River Birch tree in the yard.  I played around with the image a bit in a new processing program I have.
