I have a few winterberry bushes growing in the yard.
There was freezing rain New Year’s Eve so when I got up Sunday morning everything had a coating of ice on it. The temps warmed up so I went out in the yard mid morning and the ice was starting to melt. The droplets were hanging off all the pine needles so I aimed my macro lens at this one and snapped the photo. There is no snow on the ground so the yellow background is the sun shining on my neighbors lawn, which appears upside down if you look closely at the drop.
Here’s the video.
I neglected to post this before but here’s the link to my old blog, check out the archives for 100′s of other photos.

I entered the National Wildlife Federation photo contest last spring and found out my photo was the first place winner in the “other” wildlife category. Click on the link below to view the winning images.
I found this crab spider on the fleabane blossoms in front of my house this past summer. Compared to the other postings of crab spiders this one blends in well with the flowers it’s sitting on.
On a different note, I had to turn off comments on this site. I enjoy reading comments from legitimate commenters but I have been inundated with spam comment postings. If I learn of a way I can stop the spam from getting into my comment box I’ll turn the feature back on.
Here’s a photo from last spring taken in the backyard. The actual blossoms are the middle part of the flower. It’s October now and the blossoms are red berries, hence the name bunchberry.
I went kayaking on Sabattus River earlier this month and here is one of the photos I took. I saw a few turtles but this is the only one that stuck around long enough for me to get a photograph. All of them would slip into the water when I got within 50 feet. This one let me get to within 15 feet, but it too only let me take a few photos, before it dropped off the log and went below the surface.
