guppiecatNo, these aren't the Minicon photos OR the Costa Rica photos. (Soon, I promise.)
This has been a hard week for various reasons, not the least of which is that I've been traveling a lot, and will be heading right back out again soon. It's like I have a mixture of doing too much while still not getting enough done. Other reasons exist, but since this is a public photo post, I shan't delve into them here.
So, since the weather was nice and I couldn't seem to find the impetus to do anything around the house (which desperately needs a vacuuming (last one was before Costa Rica)), I grabbed my GPS and camera and went to Margo Frankel Woods State Park. Let me just say that hiking GPS units are "teh awesome". I marked where the car was and then proceeded to follow deer trails for a couple hours. When I was ready to head back, I just looked at the GPS and blazed a trail directly to the car. (Granted, this is a tad easier this time of year when the underbrush is only three inches high :). I also took a small break near a babbling brook and read two chapters of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations (which is my current coat book).
All in all, it was nice. I wish I had a bit more energy generally, but until I get back into the swing of things, it's probably the best I can expect.
Of course, I took photos. I wanted to go light, so I had just the camera with one lens (which was nice) and no water (which was actually pretty stupid of me). The set is here and highlights follow.
It's Spring! The flowers are coming back! (and making me sneeze)
Usually it's really hard to take good photos in full sun. However, sometimes things like this happen.
Another flower.
This frog was just sitting there, waiting for me.

My babbling brook... perfect for reading ancient Roman philosophy beside.
The bees are coming back too!
Shepard crooks take a while to grow.
