Well apparently enough to chase me away. These guys are ridiculously skittish.

That is, if they could check wood.

That path photo is especially cool! I’ve always found that “inside a forest” is the hardest place to take pictures. Nice work.

Pardon, but aren’t these magnolias? I don’t see marigolds anywhere in the thread on a quick search…

My wife and I went to the Berkshires in Massachusetts last week celebrating our anniversary. It was our first time in this area and even though it was past peak foliage viewing, it was a beautiful place.

We took a hike in the Pleasant Valley Wildlife Sanctuary and got to see the handiwork of some beavers.

These are just pics I took with my (ancient) phone, but to a Californian they are amazing. We don’t get a lot of clouds here, and we virtually never get actual thunderstorms.

So many great pics here! I usually content myself with taking close up pics of the flowers when I visit the Bellagio in Las Vegas. However, one time I was in just the right place at the right time to get some shots of a solar eclipse right at sunset in 2012.

Love it! That’s the only kind of solar eclipse I haven’t seen. I’ve seen multiple partial eclipses and one total, but I haven’t seen an annular.
