Lost and Found

Sometimes I amaze myself...
I was going through some old image files from years ago. When I found this image of morning dew drops on some grass. It was my first attempt at shooting this kind of shot. Plus I was just getting used to a digital camera. The switch from slide to digital was easy, but learning all the buttons took some time. I remember this morning...I had just woke up and took the canoe out on the pond. I was paddling slowly along the shore when I found this image. I have also found many other images I have forgotten about.
Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!

Wildflowers and Bumblebees.

I'm waiting for that day when I can sit down and look at wildflowers again. It has been a long winter and I need that refreshing sight. A forest full of flowers and the scent they produce is so calming. Most of the snow we got the other day is gone and I am happy about that. The feeders are full of birds again and I have filled the feeders twice today. Another thing I enjoy is watching the bumblebees work the flowers. I am really interested in finding the hive of the orange marked bumblebees that I have in my yard each year. Most bumblebees are marked with Yellow and Black. Rarely are they marked with Orange...as you can see in the blended image of two bumblebees. 
I'm also dreaming of the day the forests are filled with wildflowers again.
