Hey! I'm only 45 minutes from there. If anybody comes for a visit, you MUST check out the new meadow and restored stone house nature museum.

Honestly, I don't have many good or interesting photos. Most of my adventure/travel are stored on paper pics. These are some of my best and there wont be much more for me to contribute after that Sticking tongue out :

WOW! I didn't even see the frog until I read. Was too busy looking at the moth and wondering to myself "tuberose?"

I've had my little Sony Cybershot forever, and don't use it much except for the garden, but now, with this thread, hmmmmm.....

Oh too cute! What type is this Betsy? Do you know? I have a bat house erected but not getting used yet, but there are 3 bats that fly over my gravel driveway every dusk in summertime for the last 7 years


I honestly don't know. I have studied bats yet.

As long as we keep it g-rated, family friendly....just enjoy photography and learn from others photos. If you have technical questions..ask away.

Great photos y'all, keep them coming!!!
