I’m pretty sure I staged this photo which is probably why this caterpillar was looking for the nearest exit!
Got to admit though, he sure is an interesting creature!

I found a million of these (varying varieties) on the hike up Ascutney. They are one of my favorite things to photograph actually. Often times they have great colors and of course they have lots of bumps, grooves, and otherwise.

You could easily spend hours upon hours taking pictures of them on any given trail, something I hope to have time to do someday!

This was a vain attepmpt in finding a particular falls…that was NOT marked very well i might add.
These turned out to be interesting enough, though i now must make the journey someday again to find what I was looking for in the first place!

I’ll be sure to look up the name of the falls I was looking for, maybe some Vermonters can point me in the right direction!

Say hello to my Dad’s backyard! Macro style.

At first glance you wouldn’t think there is much to photograph in the backyard. It’s any backyard USA, or at least pretty normal for one that you might find in VT.

Therein is the beauty of macro photography, it’s a world unto it’s own!

It would have been nice to have my ring flash to use instead of using 1600ISO all the time but the macro lens with the F/2.8 does a pretty decent job @ that ISO even when i am LAZY and hand hold the pictures! :o

I am pretty sure this is a dying plant leaf as opposed to a regular leaf from a tree. You’d think i could remember a little more detail about images I took a mere 3 years ago! Oh well :)

Some sort of flower that has lost all it’s vegetation

I was loving the texture of this bracket and how the background color was such a good match.

This is a living version of the first picture, look familiar to anyone?

Leaves are SUPER fascinating very close up. Such an intricate vein system for the lack of a better description.

This is where I really missed my ring flash, to be able to stop down to F/11 to get more of him in focus.

But again, not too bad considering he was surely OTM (on the move). Had to really time my shots as he was bobbing and weaving all over the place.

I love how that one tree juts out like that towards the end of the gorge.
I wonder if hawks and the like ever land there to get a vantage of any critters that might be rummaging around the leftover from somone’s picnic lunch or whatnot.

This was the same field as the countryside home
. The fog was just nuts that day. Being on a mountain is very cool under such a heavy fog as well, makes for some difficult but interesting pictures. Of course your visibility is maybe on 1/4 of a mile!

I think this is the Bartonsville covered birdge. The really funny thing is that not until I was editing this picture did I notice the person in the very bottom right corner. I must have looked @ the photo(though quickly) a dozen times and never seen him!

The river right below the Taftville covered bride in Quechee (again…I think).
