hawkeye978 > We take baseball very seriously in Boston, which is why it's called Red Sox Nation here.  The games have been completely sold out for the past 4 years making it hard to get tickets.  So, the Red Sox responded by starting tours of Fenway for those of us who can't get tickets.  Here is a view of the oldest ballpark in the country from the rightfield deck seats.
hawkeye978 > Memorial Day Customs

Every year there is the Memorial Day Parade where the veterans and high school marching band move from memorial to memorial around the town common and pay respect.  They start with the Revolutionary War and finish with Vietnam.  At every point there is the shooting of guns with the requisite covering of the ears.
hawkeye978 > My shipment of puppies, kitten, and baby bunnies did not come in this week so I am forced to use wildlife instead.  Canadian Geese live here pretty much year round now and this is mating season. There are babies pretty much everywhere and they grow surprisingly fast.  In a few weeks these will be indistinguishable from their parents.
hawkeye978 > Yes, the water is that color.  Small pond that is just covered in algae.  The geese seem to like the location along with the wildflowers.
hawkeye978 > Astilbe and Granite...

hawkeye978 > Found this dead tree in the woods early this morning.  Was originally struck by the sunlight but as I zoomed in a little I liked the patterns from the growth.  After cropping and expanding all this detail came out in the patterns in these small items.
hawkeye978 > A fortuitous shot at Cape Neddick in Maine.  Saw this sailboat as I was walking up from the parking lot to the lighthouse at Nubble Rock.  There was a good wind so I only had a few seconds to catch the shot before it crossed behind the rocks.  With excellent advice from others I have been playing with the post processing on this for days.
hawkeye978 > First Apple Blossoms

This tree is in an orchard down the street from my house.  The town used to be full or apple orchards and this one was bought by the town to preserve the acreage.  The story in town is that this orchard was originally planted by Johnny Appleseed.  Whether it's true or not it's a great story.
hawkeye978 > Lady's Slipper

We have a large area of lakes and woods the town recently bought to preserve the character of the town.  My family and I took a walk there the other day and found Lady's Slippers in bloom all over the area.  These are protected in Massachusetts so you get as many pictures as you can.
