Photos by Kris (pardon me, Reyn)

Well, if I kept buying regular AA Duracells, I would need another job to pay for them!

It is. Would you like to show us what you've got? I'm interested.

Yeah, Kris, out with it!

[pulls up a chair and waits]

Mmmm.... I spent the weekend on the cape (cod). I have some. One oddity - we saw a sandhill crane which isn't a native species. We were on a nature reserve, so we didn't get close. The birds at my parents' house were chatty with spring time mating rituals. They included mild mocking birds and racous catbirds, nesting orioles and spring-calling chickadees. The osprey were too far off to shoot and none of the hawks came close enough (for long enough) to capture either. Plants were good subjects as always......

Life in New England in the winter can be harsh.

The winter beach


Tenacious, early blooming witch hazel hints at spring


Spring comes at last..... and we find a bird out-of-place - a sandhill crane


Water sustains


Cinnamon girls - cinnamon fern in a cape cod swamp


A perennial favorite (snort!) - love shooting the seedheads of pasqueflowers


A study of meadow grass - grass is not simply green


and.... leaving the cape at sunset - a lone sea kayaker returning to Rock Harbor

They're all really good, Kris! If I had to pick a favourite, it would be the one I've quoted.

Keep 'em coming!

That is a very photogenic beach!

My two favorites are the water sustains and Rock Beach at sunset. Which doesn't really surprise me: You have always had an excellent eye for discovering abstract shapes in nature. Love the "abstracts" album on your MSN/Multiply site, too.

All wonderful..
I probably like the last one best, but hard to choose.

My housemate just made parchment from goat skin (she once had a job....) in the basement. I was intrigued by the textures - and by the process. First the skin is soaked, then stretched and scrapped. After it's dried, it gets sanded and trimmed. These are from the middle stage - dry, but not yet sanded.

Spring showers.....

....bring May flowers

Spring in the rarefied air of Harvard Yard....

... and in the wild

Wow. I like all the photos, wonderful color/subjects. The harvard yard one is interesting not only for the yard but the way people are dotted around. (I like the ear scratcher)

The ear scratcher is a security guard - she's using a radio or cell phone. Another guard will come around the front of that building, sort of play-stalking her. He's the one she's radio-ing with.

Love this shot, Kris!

Man, these are great. Like a professional (some of them), really.

That little blue bird seems to say "Don't mess with me lady".
