Wet Morning









































All week, we have heard that rain was coming. When I went outside this morning with the dog it was wet. I carried the camera outside and shot some images of buds on the trees and water droplets on leaves and the first flowers of the year ready to bloom. One of the images was shot with my 500mm mirror lens. I love the doughnuts made by the lens. Carroll County is to receive three to five inches of rain this weekend. It's hard to believe that a few weeks ago the ground was covered with snow.

Piney Run













































Well, I made it to Piney Run Park this morning. It wasn't as fruitful as I hoped, but I got a few images to share. I saw three swans enjoying the water, but never was able to get a good image. I will keep trying. I love to shoot nature and Spring is coming. There have been a lot of geese in the air over Carroll County the past week.

Morgan Run
































































The snow is disappearing, so I thought I would stop by Morgan Run to snap a few images. The water was running high from the snow melt. Shirley went along with me, which I always enjoy. One of things that upset me at Morgan Run was the trash laying around. People if you carry it in, carry it out. The snow is going fast and I hope to stop by Piney Run Park tomorrow.
