I drove home with a spider plant in my car.... my friend gave me two plants for my patio area. It had all these little blooms on it and smelled so pretty!
I felt like taking some nature pics today.
First I spotted some ducks and perhaps a white heron?

It looks like an egret; but I also call them white herons, even though I know better.
Those are very nice!
This is from about a year and a half ago when I lived in Sioux Falls, SD of Falls Park, one of my favorite places to visit in the city.
These are just some from my family's acreage in SD.

Great photos, AR! I especially like the first one, and how all of that energy, amid a placid background, thunders toward the viewer in a forceful rush that's almost audible.
Thanks That's one of my favorite photos for the same reason. That river has such a soul. I have probably a hundred pictures of it. It is almost like a spiritual experience to stand on the rocks overlooking it and feel the energy coming from the water.

I can see why that's your favorite place to visit, Abby. Very lovely and great pic of it. Love the flowers, too, especially the last one.
Great photos everyone, I love coming in here and checking them out.

At first I thought the people in the photo were a slight distraction to the scene; but the more I admired the image, the more I realized how they add perspective to the drama, and how utterly minuscule they appear by comparison to the natural forces they are witnessing.Thanks
One of my favorite things at the falls was capturing tourists. These two are favorites because of the people. At sites that attract large amounts of tourists you're unlikely to get shots without people inturrupting some days. Instead of getting frustrated with them getting in the way, I allowed them in.
I agree. The images look timeless. The flower pics are great too! Such intense colors.
Rhymegirl, those flowers are oriental poppies...beautiful shots.
I took a photo of the allium in full bloom.

That's beautiful, Swatch! Looks almost like a dandelion puff, but much more delicate and lovely.

You lived in Sioux Falls?? I've lived in, near, or around SF for about six years. And I LOVE Falls Park.

Really? I grew up in Aberdeen and migrated south after school.
Its a great city and I miss it there. Moved to Fargo about 2 years ago. Did you ever get to see the Christmas lights display at Falls Park?
I thought I recognized you bobbing around in that picture:You lived in Sioux Falls?? I've lived in, near, or around SF for about six years. And I LOVE Falls Park.

Here, Angie:
Not sure what you're supposed to do with it, but the rope is all tied up in a neat little package for you!

Ah, I bet Angie is just replaying that scene from A River Runs Through It...with Brad Pitt plunging downriver. She'll wash up in an eddie in no time.
