This pretty Scabious flower was blooming at the Reader Rock Garden on 29th July. Gosh, most of my photos have been very dark recently, mainly because most of them have been taken deep within various forests. Hope they haven't been too depressing, LOL! Posting earlier today in the hopes that the sun will still be shining by the time I get myself ready to go mushroom hunting. My body hasn't recovered yet from all the walking I did on Saturday, so I'm not sure how many times I'll be able to get down on my hands and knees to photograph tiny fungi growing on the forest floor, but I'll give it a try at least : )

About a month ago, during rutting season, we saw this handsome Mule Deer buck in the woods at Bebo Grove. Not a great photo of the deer himself, but I liked the way the snow was still clinging to the sloping tree trunks.

OK, this is known as sheer desperation! The sun was supposed to finally shine today after days and days of grey, snowy weather - but, nothing! So, I went to Safeway and bought myself a bunch of flowers (yellowy white - the brightly coloured bunches were twice as expensive!) along with the milk, bread and chocolate bar (for sure, comfort food!). Lots to learn about photographing flowers indoors! Had some problem getting enough light on these pale flowers and ended up holding one over a table lamp (I now have one singed flower!). They shine on my computer screen - hope they do on yours, otherwise they will be rather lifeless. And now I am going to go for yet another cold, dull, grey walk. Did buy half a dozen Hot Cross buns the other day so, in theory, Easter and spring are not far away. Yeah!
