Evening Walk

Monday evening was an absolutely perfect evening for a walk.  The weather was warm, but not too warm.  There was a light breeze and a bit of sun.  Paul and I took Tchazo on a long walk around our neighborhood and I brought along my much neglected macro lens.  I am still learning where this lens' strengths lie.  It was a lot of fun to play around with it, even if it did mean I needed to jog a bit to catch up with my boys.

mushrooms

What are these?  I have never seen them before!

The macro is a good portrait lens!  This dude is pretty good, too.

not sure of this flower either

Happy Tchazo.  He has the teeth of an old dog.

Thistle

These trees were everywhere.  I am not sure what they are but they were all heavy with flowers.

Here's hoping for more lovely evening walks this summer!
