Curly Fronds at Harris Beach State Park (+5 insets)

(+5 insets) (clicking on this picture is recommended! :D)

Lovely Walks at Harris Beach State Park
My morning routine is to get up, shower, have my coffee and vitamin mix, and pop out the door for a walk which is ideally three miles or longer. Yet another reason this park is so perfect is that I designed a walk which is 3.5 miles and full of plenty of cardio, along with jaw-dropping scenery. I almost always take my phone with me, but sometimes I bring my Canon with 100mm 2.8L lens for some macro fun, and other times I bring my Sony bridge camera for zooming in on wildlife or fun activities that I find along the way.

Today's Picture
This lovely unfurling fern was just one of the masses of glowing spring growth that I saw everywhere on my walks. It's November as I post this, but it was the beginning of April when we started our trip and I really enjoyed seeing what budding springtime was like out on the coast.

Today's Insets
I got so many wonderful pictures with all three of my cameras while we were here! Today's handful of insets include a lovely mushroom, a pair of colorful ivy leaves, a playful collage showing a Mountain Chickadee, a bunny that I saw many times on my walks, and finally, a weathered whale skull mounted on a stand visible along one of the campground loops.

Thank You For the Visits and Welcoming Home!
I hope everyone is doing well! I have really enjoyed your visits and comments, and I'm making my rounds as time permits. Wow, it's so nice to be back!! I'm going to try to post every couple of days so I can get more pictures posted…there are so many that I've processed, and so so so many that are waiting for my attention! I hope I'll be able to share lots and lots, and I hope also to catch up with everyone too!

Wonderful collection of pictures as usual, Janet. I've so missed your blogs and pictures. I love the little chickadee and bunny. I've never seen a chickadee before - I suppose that's what was meant when people would say "Oh my little chickadee!!" that this was a sweet little bird. Your unfurling ferns are great. I have ferns in my garden, and really do like to see them unfurling, yet why do yours look so much healthier??!!! Looking forward to seeing more of your pics and hearing more of your travels.

Six fantastic photos for the price of one! In particular, the main macro image,1st, 2nd, & 5th inset: superb color, details, and bokeh. The lovely bird photo shows beautiful sharpness, feather details, and bokeh. Super work!
