'Morning Light' is a compact deciduous perennial grass with narrow leaves finely edged with white, and pink-tinged panicles of flowers in autumn.

Happy New Year!

This Maple Tree is almost all red.

I think this is supposed to be for Foosball? Maybe a Guitar Hero icon would have been better...

Poor Maple Tree or how to get a Lumberjack into your backyard

Unfortunately we lost the maple tree in our garden this Monday - Some kind of disease called Maple Wilt - the disease starts in the root system and spreads up through the sapwood into the upper branches of the tree, causing big limbs to start dying back.

I've posted some more shots of the squirrel I've named "White Ears" taken with the 100-400mm lens I borrowed from a friend. I was impressed with the lack of pixelization, considering that I took these at dusk, handheld, with the 1.4X extender, and at 6400 ISO. Yes, there still is pixelization, but it is minimal when you take in all of those aspects.

I can't wait to get my own 100-400 lens! It will be soon I hope!

This photo is SOOC except for a slight levels adjustment to brighten it up a titch. I love the abstractness of it.

Near Woodstock, Vermont, I noticed that there were a few, colorful leaves still hanging on. What could be more stereotypical Vermont than a covered bridge with some beautiful maple trees in the foreground.

These final five photos conclude my series of "White Ears" the squirrel that were shot with the borrowed 100-400mm lens that I was trying out, while my friend tried out my 50mm 1.4 lens. I will hopefully be getting my own 100-400 in the next few months. Using it just solidified my desire for a super zoom lens.
