Imagine my surprise when I encountered this scene while passing the lake on the way to my office this morning! Click to enlarge.
Creatures! One of my brothers and I met with a real estate agent yesterday at a house he and I and our younger brother inherited and wish to place on the market. While there, I saw that there are many plants, trees, and flowers blossoming, and I spotted several bees and dragonflies among the blossoms. I shall return this afternoon and seek out photographic opportunities! It is forecast to be 72° this afternoon. The possibility of finding suitable creatures to pose for me should be excellent. My Nikon D3 DSLR and Micro-Nikkor 105mm AF-S VR f/2.8G IF-ED lens cry out for subjects!
