Good weekend, good photos

We had a pretty decent weekend where nothing went wrong, we managed to enjoy the sensational weather, and even the dog behaved herself. Go figure. On Saturday we went on a hike in an estuarine reserve in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and while we didn't see any cool migratory birds, we did have a nice time in a nice piece of woodlands whose leaves were just starting to turn colors. We also saw some pretty marsh scenery. Heck, when it's 70 and sunny, anything looks beautiful... and it is.
Oh, and a special note of thanks to the spider whose web held up the leaf in the first shot!

  1. I love these images and I was wondering how you were able to catch such a cool picture of the leaf. That's amazing! It's great that you found a path for yourself. I'm still struggling with that a little.

  2. Many thanks. The leaf was dangling in the middle of the trail, hanging from a string of spider webbing. I took the photo from a little ways away, using a telephoto lens.

    As for finding your path, I think it's always a struggle. Or maybe it's a struggle to stay on the path. Good luck.
