Great time to photograph nature...

Mushrooms in Maryland
Caterpillar: By the way, I have a few more helpful hints. One side will make you grow taller...
 
Alice: One side of what?

 
Caterpillar: ...and the other side will make you grow shorter.

 
Alice: The other side of what?

  
Caterpillar: THE MUSHROOM, OF COURSE! ~ Alice in Wonderland


Look, touch, photograph, but don't listen to the caterpillar...














 I took a casual stroll through Janes Island State park last week and came away with a few nature jewels. FYI, I only had my Nikon 700 loaded with my 17-35 2.8 Nikkor (the two are seldom separated) This is my favorite lens, and a staple for all professional photojournalists. Of course, I would not consider these professional photos. Sometimes, you just want to shoot and not worry about all the "correctness" that comes with too many years of having to satisfy photo editors.

The vertical view of the tall pines is exquisite.
