Today was a walk to a little pond off of Rt 38 on the way up to Big Bear. Unfortunately, I over slept and did not catch the sun rising but I think that images came out pretty good. This lovely little pond, had ducks and other wild life. We had to be very careful of snakes, since this is the season for the snakes to come out and bask in the sun. Fortunately there were no snakes on this trip

, and that is a very good thing. Please enjoy the scenery as much as Morgan

and I

did.

Very nice. Mother Nature is simply amazing, isn't she?
Deborah Ormsby Mar 14, 2011, 11:07pm UTC
wonderful Debbie, it is when I am the happiest outside in the fresh air, walking, thinking, taking pictures, and for sure sipping on a good large dark Italian coffee

Deborah, These are all very Beautiful, it sure looks like it was a Beautiful Day too.
Deborah Ormsby Mar 14, 2011, 11:09pm UTC
it was a very nice day, not too hot, not too cold, and after went and did a shoot for a pregnant woman and her husband with my daughter helping. What could be better, oh probably another cup of good coffee ;-0

Lovely and serene! I find I appreciate nature more and more the older I get.
Deborah Ormsby Mar 15, 2011, 6:29pm UTC
maybe because slow down a little and smell the roses, the urgency leaves us body and soul

Beautiful images. Glad there were no snakes!
Deborah Ormsby Mar 16, 2011, 11:54am UTC
I spend a lot of my time lately with my head down, looking for snakes. Thank you for commenting on my post.
Krystal Harwell Mar 19, 2011, 2:19pm UTC
I always walk with my eyes looking down, became second nature since I live in the country, where snakes LOVE to be, and it was impounded in my head at a very early age to always look down, you may get bit if you dont.
Deborah Ormsby Mar 27, 2011, 10:50pm UTC
I know right Krystal, not too long ago ran into a snake in the foothills, not fun!
DarkBeauty 73 (Melanie) Mar 16, 2011, 9:34pm UTC
