final poppy blooms in Fred's garden

Memorial Day weekend at Seneca Lake

morning at boat launch in Woodville

These greens almost look garish - but the glow is accurate, the light was just amazing on this day. I've had my digital camera on the "foliage" setting for the last few weeks, which seems to be similar to using Fuji film in the way it amplifies greens.

I like how our neighbor's house looks like a fairy tale cottage here:

hello there -
came across this guy on my way across the lawn with the laundry basket - aren't his colors & patterns gorgeous? When you see him from above, you don't realize all the decorating done "inside his house" - just goes to show you can't judge a turtle by his shell (or something like that :)
afterwards we took him back over by the pond, where we've seen them sunning on logs over the last few weeks

Sparky leading Ollie down to the pond - the clicking sound is Ollie's leash as I try to run after them to keep up - you can see Sparky stop to wait for me/us, so I had to abandon the filming idea:
