morning with the dew drops

I love being out with the camera in early morning.  Like frost on a sunny winter day, it’s the best time to catch the dew.  The real challenge is me, getting out there.

This is a Japanese bonzai of some kind, with unusual pale blue stripes in its bark, and tiny pink buds bearing spring green leaves.

This young lady didn’t seem to be camera shy ~ what a character!

forest floor

An untouched photograph of some rather vibrant fungi on a rainy afternoon.  Like rocks at the seashore, a bit of water really brings out their color!

orchid

These exotic flowers always seem to have quite an expression on their face.

Happy new year!

almost-winter sky

Clouds can be so beautiful ~ especially when they dance with the crisp cold air.

changes

I never tire of seeing the leaves turn from green to red.  I’ll miss them when they’ve all fallen.
