GREEN HOUSE

More from my girlfriend's new place, this is the green house on the campus grounds at Wellesley. From the bottom up; the entrance, the cactus room, an intersting plant, and a close up of the same interesting plant.

OBSERVATORY

Again at on campus at Wellesley. This shot is from an office window of the school.

FROGGY

I was delighted to come across this guy, a frog! I haven't seen a frog in years. When I was a kid they were everywhere. Nowadays, seeing a frog is a rare. Kids today are missing out on the joy of catching critters in ponds and creeks. The ponds and creeks are either dried out, or the animal life just isn't there, or they are not allowed to go into the creeks by crazy parents that fear dirt and germs, shame. There is nothing more fun than catching a frog, a cray fish, a minnow, a leech, and putting them in the same jar to see who wins.

more lake

More lake shots, I love nature photography.

campus lake

These gorgeous pics are of a lake on the Wellesley campus, taken with my girlfriend's new digital camera.

on the trail

A lovely day for a walk in the woods.

PINE CONE!!

That's not a photoshop trick, that is the biggest pine cone I have ever seen! Imagine that thing falling out of a tree and hitting you on the top of your head. This is in the botanic garden on the grounds of Wellesley College, where my girlfriend is a professor.

BUR

This is the biggest bur I have ever seen. I thought it was a baby hedge hog when I first saw it.

Cool place

My girlfriend and I found this great little place with a stagnant water hole and a cool rock face. We were walking on the school grounds of Wellesley, on a sort of mini hike.

second huge spider

This is the second gigantic spider in my place in the same week. I froze, took a photo and released this guy too.
