Enlightening the web
It would have been nice if the spider had built the web in a slightly more scenic location but I have to give her props for knowing where the good light would be.

This kind of spidery thing I love to see, if I can see it coming far off, not by walking into it!

Great shot!

Oh my - this is breathtaking! Reminds me of Andy Goldsworthy's work. Thank you for all the photos in this collection.

Starring the Dawn
The lucky combination of a rainy night, early morning, and breaking clouds that narrow the sunlight does nifty things

Clearing
I took about 50 photos of this spot over the summer before I got one that was any good.

I feel that if I look hard enough I'll catch a glimpse of the deer that just walked out of the sunlit area in the back.

Misty Morning
There aren't very many spots where a picture of an opposite hillside can be taken because generally there's just too much 'stuff' blocking the view.

Same Place, Different Time
The same (almost) view 90 days later, though there's now less 'stuff' in the way.

Fall Leaf
A fortuitously placed greenbriar catches and positions a leaf perfectly to catch the light and my attention.

Panorama I
The camp's lake is one of my favorite places to take pictures since there are some many different ways to shoot it -- like this panorama.

Panorama II
Nobody has lived in this cabin for decades but it resolutely refuses to fall down -- even after a tree fell on it.

Quite early one fall morning
A really good example of why I like walking in the early morning so much.

Beautiful. Peaceful. It is going to take days to give these diaries all the attention they deserve.

Okay, I'm officially jealous. Where do you live and is there a house for sale nearby? That dawn pic along with your winter lake pic just sold me.

There are always places for sale around here (brown county, indiana) and compared to either coast the prices are ridiculously cheap but you have to be willing to live sort of nowhere (traffic willing it's 45 minutes to a good thai restaurant) with no broadband, lousy water pressure, and very conservative politics. And I am.

No broadband? Heathens! Savages! HAHAHA Okay, there is no way I'm convincing my husband to move somewhere broadbandless. We made an offer on a house here and that's one our contengencies. For some reason that particular house wasn't getting broadband we let it go and it was a good price too!
