Water works and more

Tuesdays and Thursdays are pretty nice days but a little wierd too. My two daughters both go to pre-school, one for half a day and the other for a full day. Griffin being only 15 months just gets schlepped around dropping off and picking up...and doesn't really get a nap unless he cooperates (never). So, it's too late for him to nap because we have to pick up Madeleine in 45 mins. but he's fussing up a storm so I take him outside for a walk in the backpack. Since I didn't show any water shots yesterday on my post, here's one now. It's not as impressive as yesterday but hey, this is what I was taking pictures of today. This is our waterfall just next to our driveway. It was a little precarious since the ground is a boggy disaster, I'm carrying my precious little boy on my back and my new camera in my hand on a very steep embankment.

Across the creek I see these very cool mushrooms...they are everwhere but I'm always pleasantly surpised when I see them. They remind me of fairies and elves!

This next picture is really dorky, but those who are studying photography know...the art of getting a tack sharp image. So, I practised on this barb. (I just found out this was beside our property yesterday too, I wonder why?) Here is the full image...


And here is the cropped image of the barb I was working on! I know, I told you, I'm a nerd! But pretty good, eh? Ha ha!
Then of course here is my trusty side kick. She loves these jaunts!
That's it, or at least that's all that's worth showing. After the frog pond I grabbed the mail, headed back up the driveway, hopped into the car to get Madeleine. Griffin was asleep by the time I got to the road.

These are great! The water is cool although it sounds scary - you're very daring.. Mushrooms make me think of the same thing! That's so funny. Love the barbs, not dorky at all. My blog is 99% shots like that lol!
