Day 402

Some of the trees have been budding and blooming. Here are some of my favorite ones.

Pine

If you look closely, you can see pine pollen trapped in the thread trails from inchworms.

I'm not sure what this is, but it's in full bloom with several buds still growing.

Cherry

Dogwood

Day 359

Since there is less than a week left of this project, I want to finish it by taking photos of some of my favorite natural things from the project. While outside a restaurant, our daughter noticed this tree had no leaves. After further inspection via a lens, I realized it was a dead pine tree. There were a sparse amount of dead pine needles left on these spiky branches.

Day 295

While at Alex's school to meet her teacher, I noticed a pine tree had been chopped up near where I parked. It smelled great!

Day 274

These photos were taken while leaving the house, heading to dinner and at the restaurant.

Day 267

Today while driving around and stopping at many lights, I took some photos interesting nature things.

Dead leaves mixed with live

The circles are from cutting branches away from the trunk. This tree was beside some power lines. The removal was likely to keep the branches away from the lines.

Day 252

Today, I went outside to take photos only to be greeted with a wet fogged lens when I took off the cap. The humidity was so high, that the lens kept fogging. After taking a few unusual shots of the hill using the fogged lens, I retreated to my car to take clearer shots...but through a dirty windshield.

Day 232

Today Alex and I went to the pool.

There are hawks that live in our forest and marsh area.

Day 211

Today, I took a few photos as we left the house for dinner and after dinner.

The hill in front of our house is covered in ivy and small trees, like these pines. It's a mess.

No mater how many times I tried to photograph the sun, the rays looked exactly the same. It was odd.

The moon has progressed further towards a full moon.

Day 208

This morning, I met up with my friend Amanda Erickson to take some photos at Maymont. I haven't been to Maymont since March and the temperature was about 80, so it was a great excuse to go there.

Yoshino Cherry

Hemlock

Some type of pine tree maybe?

Southern Magnolia

In the Japanese gardens, there were a lot of dragon flies...

...and bees on these purple flowers.

Water lily and pads

Day 196

Today, I took photos of a pine tree.

Day 181

On the way back from the bus stop, I took a few photos.

Lately, the chipmunks have been very brave around me. They are so cute.
