Two weeks ago I took a walk around the lovely park by where I work. I was thrilled when I spotted this stereotypical silhouette: 
And even more excited when I used the maximum zoom (digital):
After that I saw numerous wildfowl, and the nutria, and took some abstract water photos, and then on the way back I found a four-leaf clover! It was an excellent day.
Last month I took a walk at Mt. Pisgah Arboretum, near Eugene, Oregon, and took a bunch of pictures. This is one of my favorites--a bee in an Oregon Fawn Lily (thanks to my hiking partner for noticing the bee!).
And this is a photo of a venerable incense cedar.[Camera: Canon PowerShot SX110 IS]
