Sunday was a nice day, so I thought I’d do some yard work clearing some brush. I brought my DFLE & Game Warden. I bought my camera so I could take some pics to share with you guys. Since it’s the beginning of spring, I thought I might find some interesting things to take pics of. I hope you guys like the pics. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I found a lot of pics blooming in my Mom’s flower bed.

I found this turtle dove nest in a tree near the flower bed.

This ladybug landed on my hand while I was taking pics.

This is a dead branch on one of our apple trees. I gave it a couple whacks and used it to prop up the DFLE.

The lilac is starting to bloom.

The violets are blooming too.

I brought my Maxpedition Fatboy to put my stuff in.

I found quite a few bird nests around the yard. These two are close neighbors.

Here’s another empty nest that was on the satellite dish.

Look at the mutant dandelions!

Some pics of the GW on a shelf mushroom. I found the little snail shell on the ground near it.

Getting close to sun down. Time to call it a day.

If you wondered what was in the MaxPed, here’s what I carried. The green foam mat was for when I was taking pics. It made kneeling easier. I just put the strap through the handle so I could carry it on the MaxPed. Also shown is my Colt Mustang Pocketlite, Monocular, Spyderco Waved Delica, Goatskin Gloves, DFLE with Buy Brown kydex sheath, and Game Warden with LV sheath I made.

Every time I come back here, it makes me miss the PA farm where I grew up.

I wonder if that was really "another" robin's nest, or if Andy just got hungry! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Beautiful pictures brother!

As always my friend your pictures are just breathtaking in their beauty! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

I counted 31 flowers on that Mutant Dandy and assume there are about 5-6 higher up that the photo didn't have room to capture!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Awesome shots of the nests too. Believe it or not here we just now have our first growth of green grass coming in,first weeds,and the beginnings of tulips,and Day Lilly's. Spring comes so much slower and we are only about 450 miles North of you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

My whole family enjoyed the pix once again they were a joy to look at! Thanks so much for posting Andy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


Peace.
