A cool mist

A cool mist

That's what we had today. Cool weather and a misty rain. The temperatures were in the fifties but with the moisture in the air it felt a bit cool. I actually put a thin glove on my left hand. I sawed the fingers of that hand in a tablesaw years ago and it gets cold easily. The first winter afterward at fifty five degrees my left hand was freezing! Over the years it's gotten better, but when I wear a mitten in winter you'll notice I only wear that mitten on my left.

The wind today was light- a relief. I don't want a high wind coming along and knocking down those gorgeous colors just yet.

The raindrops look like jewels studding the leaves and grass. Everything is wet and shiny. We took the Lookout Trail along the east side of the marsh, our favorite, and then after a break for Gracie to jump in the pool at the landbridge we headed out on Mandala Trail which leads to the south shore of Atwater Pond. The colors were sparking in the<b> damp </font></b>and we debated walking all the way to the pond, but PD voted no. She was cold,<b> damp </font></b>and tired. Being the accommodating spouse that I am, I acquiesced rather than continue on my own, alone and friendless in the cold<b> damp </font></b>woods. Gracie would have gone but PD out ranks the two of us.

We were hungry when we finished and went out for gyros and beer. The food was hot and delicious and so were the waitresses. We went to Main Street Pub, a sports bar, but they serve pretty good food in spite of that. The wait staff is overwhelmingly composed of young coeds from Western Michigan University, a party school among party schools. I did not get invited to any parties. Sigh. PD would have outvoted me on that anyway.

Did I ever mention how much I love those black tights all the young women are wearing these days?

Cool raindrop pics. Buuuut, no pics of those black tights all the young women are wearing. Have you lost you mind?

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I take pictures of them all right but I promised myself I wouldn't post pictures of unsuspecting people on a sex site. I may be a deviant but I'm not completely stupid. Maybe I should start carrying a release form around with me....

I have quite a collection from the beach at South Haven and other places.

They will never see the light of day!

    Great photos once again. I love the raindrops that looked like beads on the pine needles, branches and grass. Just stellar photography. Thanks for sharing a slice of your day with us.
Thanks! This is the excitement in our lives!

You know your inner deviant is wanting to come out and express itself. Listen to it: "Kzoo daddy, I'm in here and it is spooky. Pleeeease let me out to play with youuuuu, and your camera. I'll behave I prooomise. Pleeeease".

FWIW, it kinda is creepy when an inner deviant begs.

Thank you! I'm not much of a photographer, but I think I know what looks good. (You look good, for example. ) Thanks for visiting!

It looks good on its own with or without me! The only thing I do worth mentioning is that I LOOK. There's just so much that is miraculous in the world if we will just look for it.

    Man I love those pictures of the creek... makes me want to take a cast!

    Funny how there is little democracy when it comes to mama being cold and wet... her vote counts as 100 lol. But hey... black tights and gyros is not a great consolation prize vs. more hiking in the rain, right lol.
I see lots of folks fishing at Asylum Lake but not often in the creek here. We did run into a guy fly fishing in the creek along the Bicentennial Trail. Actually, Gracie found him. She was nosing around in thick brush along the bank and suddenly freaked out. I pushed through and took a look and there he was trout fishing. The creek is narrower and faster there and he said there were plenty of trout.

It's hard to say which I like best, gyros or black tights. They're a lot alike. I think the cucumber sauce works in both cases.

Aren't those cool? For me it's a matter of luck. With this camera I think a different lens is a must for a macro like a water droplet. I got one this spring with my old Coolpix. I was so happy I could bust! I had been trying and trying to get a shot with a reflection in it, and finally managed it. Good luck! It's exciting when what you're trying to do pans out the way you wanted.

I could wax eloquent extolling the virtues of those britches, the way they subtly highlight succulent round orbs, cleft deeply in twain by the enticing valley of Shangri La. The eye- no, not just the eye but the hands and the lips- are drawn there inexorably and you just want to caress and worship at the sacred altar of...

Like I said, I COULD, but I won't.

Me too. I used to have a beer with dinner every night. And we don't go out as much as we used to. I still do enjoy my Cap'n and Coke though.

Thanks, Debbie! Taking and posting the pictures is an added perk to hiking every day. We'd go anyway, but it's fun to share what we see in the preserves. I hope it prompts someone to get out in the woods and fields and look around.
