A cold rainy day. I'll take the garbage out, but I'm not going to wander around out there with my camera.
I have a shot from Golden Ears Park. Maybe not that interesting to begin with? HDR'd. Three exposures merged in Photomatix. Processed the heck out of it in Lightroom. I read an article on Photoshop blur. I have been sitting inside for most of the day. I have a compulsion to post something to Flickr. I try the blur. Some further manipulations using Topaz Adjust. It probably qualifies for Slider Sunday, but it's only Monday evening. Here it is anyway! :-)

My husband rode ahead of me yesterday while I took photos of the fern glade. He came back to tell me, "wait until you see this"...a new trail for the both of us; a gift on a rainy, foggy, silent day. It was my birthday and this was the best present. We'll be returning here soon with a tripod and a wide angle lens for sure. "Thanks hon! XX"
Beautiful Mourning Cloak absorbing the heat from some filtered forest sunlight.
Uncommon early Spring butterfly. It over-winters and emerges as the first butterfly of the season, usually late March to early April. It does not nectar. Instead, it takes nourishment from sap seeping from an occasional tree branch wound.
My earliest sighting of a BF, ever. Probably due to the unseasonably warm weather over the last week. Today, we are enjoying sunny 65F temps with very light breeze.
Keep in mind that Punxsutawny Phil has decreed another six weeks of winter. As such, it's turning rainy and colder tonight, so it might be some time before another critter like this one takes the stage.
A pine cone
will go through many cycles,
opening and closing during its life span,
even after seed dispersal is complete.
This process occurs with older cones
while attached to branches –
and
even after they have fallen
to the forest floor.

Some small, pink and fleshy looking fungi stalks on the woodland floor. These ones were rather small and just poking up from the leaf litter. You need to be on the lookout as you're walking through the woods so not to walk on them if you're planning on taking photos.
I found some wood anemone by a little river today and tried to make a bokehlicious image! Hope you like it:).
