I took the day off work today to deal with the aftermath of spinning my car off an icy Union Street. Good news is that I had a lot of time to hike with the dogs and take pictures.

The early evening sun highlights the treetops

Been working on this shot looking straight up at the tree tops and I finally got a shot that I think is a winner.

Can a fungus be beautiful or just interesting

Some sort of bracket fungus that just happened to be catching some nice evening light.

A budding rhododendron in mid-winter

I'm not sure the life-cycle of the rhododendron but it seems odd to see these buds out in the middle of winter. If you've never been in a dense rhododendron patch while they are in full bloom you are missing out. Chances are I'll try to photograph the scene a few times this spring.
