The grass is greener on the other side

Doc13 · Mar 15, 2011

Hey all,

I can't be the only one missing the milder weather, and all the good times that come with it. So, I put together some random pics from late summer/fall, which happens to be my favorite time of year. I consider myself a beginner photog, so I hope you guys enjoy. Plus, who doesn't like pictures?

Here are some trail pics, I intentionally left these unsuspecting folks in the pic to give perspective as to the height of these trees...

This pic doesn't let on how steep of a angle this trail is..

Some obligatory scat pics for the W&SS regulars..

Which could lead to mushrooms..

And some berries..

Here are some furry and prickly things..

Fire kit..

Sparks..

Fire..

This last one is my lame attempt at High Dynamic Range photography..

Thanks for checking them out.. feel free to add some pics of greener days.

Some great shots there, I'm looking forward to spring and the growing season. The green is already slowly returning here, I'll see what I can add tomorrow.

I am with Mist here, Spring is my favorite season for that reason as well as fishing!

However, the green hasn't begun to return by me yet

Thank you for the nice comments Mike. Yeah that Laconico HWK is one of, if not my favorite woods knife.

Thank you Owen, It's not as crisp as I would have liked. So, I'm looking into a better tripod/ballhead setup. That should do the trick.

I love the pics. I love spring almost as much as the first 3/4 of winter. Great time to get out into the woods and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing with us!
