Nature Center Walk
Our photo excursion this past week was to the Dahlem Center nature trail. We picked it because it was beastly hot even at 6:30 in the morning and it is close to where I live. The nature trail is open from dawn to dusk so we didn’t have to wait until later in the heat for admission. The photos belie the fact that it was sweltering hot and the bugs were driving us crazy. I’m enjoying the walk through my photos much more than I enjoyed it live.
I have been working to improve my use of light to increase the emotional impact of my photos. The early morning sun through the trees was fun to use and distracted both Julie and I from the bugs and heat.

I took a nature Walk yesterday too! Great minds and lots of sweat!

Yup! We decided we would go back after the first frost when the bugs are less pesky and the air cooler and fresher.

The only time I left my AC’d house last week was to take the dog out! I admire your determination.

It was a very short morning for us. We ended up having a cup of coffee and toast in the local eatery – in AC. 🙂

Hi Jamie. We will too, when we go on a cooler day. I also took some really nice photos of their flower garden.

NOT FAIR. Your didn’t sweat, or get bitten by horse flies, or have mosquitoes fly in your ears. There, now that I had my little rant, I’m glad you had fun. 🙂

The bugs are just awful this year. I had hopes after such a long winter. Alas.
Your photos don’t look buggy at all 🙂
