Each summer, a team of biologists from the National Park Service, USDA Forest Service, Archbold Biological Station, the state of North Carolina, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service bushwhacks across some of the highest peaks in the Southern Appalachians to collect data on spreading avens, an endangered plant. Weather on these peaks varies from clear skies with bright sun, to mid-summer frigid temperatures, to thunderstorms with lightening that forces people quickly to shelter. The terrain is steep, and often ropes and harnesses are required to reach the plants.
Over ten years of data on growth, reproduction, and death will help biologists determine the long-term health of these spreading avens populations and further, it will give them a clearer picture of what is truly needed to have a self-supporting, viable population - knowledge which will direct where future resources are devoted in the effort to recover this plant and remove it from the endangered species list.

How weird are clouds? That one on the left looks like some sort of cuddly rooster to me....
Two brick walls - one on left about 20 feet in front of the wall on the right...sun highlighting the edge of the darker wall
We unexpectedly took a drive yesterday and headed northeast to the Cascades, then west out to the tulip fields of Skagit Valley. It was a very beautiful and relaxing day. The tulips were at their peak bloom and the colorful fields were not only a feast for the eyes, but very peaceful. There was a soft spring breeze and quiet all around. This lovely woman passed in front of me and I just had to capture the image of her sari floating with the breeze against all that color.

This photo was taken right after VERY STRONG storm has passed but yet still stayed around the area. As you see teh transition of the cloud, the blue sky was coming back but the storm sky was still present at the bottom. Then the land, the green color from the field below makes the landscape tri-colored.
Baby is technically due tomorrow, so this may be our last jaunt out for a little while!
At the Manassas Battlefield park, about a half-hour outside of town, trying to catch some of the Perseid meteors.
Lets you select a limited area well inside a wider frame. This is a 300mm prime on a x1.6 crop body so the field of view is around 480mm without the apparent added closeness that a near-500 would produce on a FF body. This used lens is certainly sharp enough if held sufficiently steady. It really needs a decent workout - had started out yesterday looking for waxwings that are being pictured around berry-rich trees. So far the score = 0, must try harder. Location tips extremely welcome... please? Ta.

Progressive Field, Home of the Cleveland Indians, with a surprise sunset reflecting off of the cloud cover. Out of 30 MLB ballparks, this is the 23rd ballpark that I photographed. (_DSC4724A)
四點多就到這邊,利用等夕陽時間亂亂拍!
I arrived here early, just take a shot at the "little mountain" during waiting sunset.
