A Walk in the Neighborhood

After a few days of rain the sun finally came out.

While taking out the garbage I felt nature's irresistible invitation.

I called my sister and suggested we meet halfway between our houses for a stroll. 

I brought my husband and she brought her dog, Biscuit.

Biscuit is wearing my husband's glasses for  this shot.

The position of the sun was at odds with my camera but I carried on and took what I could with the default setting on my Nikon Coolpix 5400m.  The sunlight has a mind of its own.

The reflection of the tree in the glassy water intrigued me.

I have no idea what this juicy looking plant could be.  Let me know if you can identify it.

Here's a view of an oak.

And another....

Here is the creek.

This is the best shot of the bridge.

It was taken sideways and turning it around in picasa did

not solve the problem of publishing it at the highest

resolution.  I still have a lot to learn about the camera

and about publishing images.



 We saw the tell tale signs of the bedding place for the deer.

Heading home we enjoyed the green that the rains brought to the scene

And the textures of the trees.
