Forestgnome,

Your wildlife shots continue to impress me, as you seem to have tremedous ability to find animals to put in your frames, in addition to composing the scenes well.

I think I will begin stalking you stalking wildlife this spring to increase my chances!

Some nice shots so far. Just a heads up to some of you that might not know, there is a photo forum on this site. You have to join it to see it though. Details in this thread.

I still can't get outside with my camera, but here are some old shots from spring.

Spring to me is lupine in Sugar Hill:

Jim, here is another lady slipper for you. This one is white, which I haven't seen too many of.

Of course in spring you don't have to go very far to get nice shots. These are from the flower bed right under my kitchen window.

And what is spring without a purple trillium?

Beautiful shots all around, but that is a killer shot of a white ladyslipper, and a very neat trillium shot!

antlers?

Anyone know why moose loose their antlers each year?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose says:

The male moose will drop its antlers after mating season in order to conserve energy for the winter season. It will then regrow them in the spring. The antlers take about three to five months to grow. This makes their antlers one of the fastest growing organs in the world. The antlers initially have a layer of skin, which will shed off once fully grown.

LOL! Thanks! Love the "Pinkham Notch" picture.

Darren, nice images, awesome technicals. I need to get to that level with wildflowers this season.

Keep 'em coming, everyone.

Happy Trails

Not in the mountains... in my back yard, or rather just outside under the power lines behind my back yard. I was eating breakfast this morning and the movement caught my eye. There were eight does. I snapped two pictures and they spooked up the hill about 50 yards and resumed browsing.
