Hayes Brook Trail to Grass Pond

Hayes Brook Trail to Grass Pond - 5.4.2002

Great day. Lots of fresh air and great sights. Some of the pictures are washed by the sun. It was too nice to complain.

Pretty little tree, with sun hitting it just right (High|Med)

Interesting jumble of various elements (High|Med)

Pretty little tree AND the interesting jumble (High|Med)

These pics are of a merganser. It's a very pretty duck-like-thing. It was very far away so the "close yet blurry" shots are digitally zoomed at 27x. So if it's labeled as an "Undescribed file", that's what it is.

The following group of "Undescribed file"'s are all picture of fish or frog eggs growing in a little runoff to the pond. There were several clumps of them, but most were sand-covered and therefore not good to shoot. One clump was very nice, though. This is that clump.

The following unnamed spread is of a particularly photo-friendly snake

I thought this was a loon, but upon closer inspection it's "just a duck". So be it.
