3 more pictures in notes above!

Today I decided to walk to the top of our ridge and see what things looked like up there. It's very dry right now with nothing new growing, but that doesn't mean there isn't anything to take pictures of. With a macro lens, a dreary land is full of wonderful images to find! Dead leaves and plants, berries and seeds are just a few cool things to photograph, and I found so many wonderful subjects that I had to force myself to stop taking pictures! :D

This Picture of the Day features a Poison Oak berry with part of its husk coming off, exposing the ripe, seed-filled berry inside. This is not a berry you want to eat though, but it sure is pretty!
