Farm Days

Field and Sky

Pods

These mysterious pods were hanging along a vine back in the woods near the river in Ohio.  The river was much closer than usual after all the rain and "Deer Valley" was underwater.  I'm not sure what animal or vegetable these are from but my guess is an invasive plant since they were on a vine and I've never seen them before.  This is the kind of thing that makes me want a macro lens.

After The Rain

A Break in the Rain

Usually I spend a great deal of my time in Ohio outside.  But this visit was full of so much rain, and not really the kind that inspires me to get out there anyway.  More the unrelenting, eww that looks horrible kind of rain.  But it did finally let up for a few moments on Sunday.

More Snow

Finally Some Snow

I was pretty excited to get some snow even if it was over Spring Break and in Ohio and only lasted one day.  Sometimes you just have to take what you can get.  It snowed pretty much all day Monday and you can see it coming down in the photos.

More Trees

 More trees.  This time from Matt's parents property. 

Grey Day

I was very disappointed Friday not by the cold or grey but because Magee Marsh was closed for hunting.  Sob.  No visit to the lake or boardwalk.  We did drive over to Ottawa National Wildlife Refuge where the FREEZING wind deterred us from taking much of a walk.  But we did get to enjoy the beautiful winter colors.  The word enjoy here means that I got to take a few shots before Matt declared "If you take ONE more picture of ONE more tree..."  I can't remember the rest something about leaving me there.

Target

More From Ohio

The past few weeks have been so busy that I haven't been able to keep up with my photo organization.  I could pretty much spend all day everyday outside.  Except for the time I spend on the computer.  Wink, wink.
