Spring-Eyed Beauty

My absolute favorite part of spring: when the toads and frogs come out and sing. There is truly no sweeter music to my ears!

He was such a ham for the camera - he even turned around so I could get his "better side". Love it!

Since I'm usually too busy to get around to my blog, here's a few more photos from yesterday's adventures hiking, exploring mines, and the thawing field. And that sunset I promised :)

Everything is finally thawing out around here. Now that the 4+ feet of snow has finally gone away, you find some pretty interesting things buried underneath. While visiting home, I stopped at my favorite field to pick pumpkins in the fall. Guess the snow got them before they could clean & prepare the field before the winter came. I decided to experiment with settings for these photos, and gave them a dismal treatment since it was so cloudy. Oddly enough, by the time we left, the sun came out and there was a beee-autiful sunset! I did take photos of it but its on my other memory card. Maybe I'll post them later :)
