A Trip to Whiting Forest - or why I could never be a real photographer

Here are just a few of the bazilliondy pictures I took this weekend when my sister's family was visiting and we went to Whiting Forest.

I could never be a real photographer because, while I like taking a bazilliondy pictures, I have a lot of ADD when it comes to siting down and sorting through them and deciding which of the bazilliondy are good enough to blog or post. Especially when there's hundreds of shots up through autumn leaves to the sky.

So here are some for you. Let's do family first, artsy fartsy second.

Eminoodle pondering autumn:

Tobi-Wan - or should I say Toadi-wan? - squats under a fallen tree (bigger pic at Flickr):

Buzz in a tree (also bigger at flickr - can I just say CFB - click for big?):

Looking up at the family in the tower:

We also saw a pileated woodpecker, although I wasn't able to get a great shot (CFB):

And Buzz found some rather worried Mac & Bubbie berries:

Earlier that day, iliacat and gark got to wash our skylights from the roof - a very exciting task. I should've reminded gark to look through the clean part:


Lastly, here's a few obligatory artsy fartsy type shots, all of these are click-to-Flickrable:

you could so be a professional. You just need an editor or agent or whatever they're called in the photo world. ;o) Course, they might charge more than you make...

I love the pictures of the children in the woods, especially TobiWan. Very cool.

uh, you ARE a real photographer. Just because it is not your profession doesn't mean it isn't very very good. which it is. which they are. if you don't stop putting yourself down i'm gonna have to come out there and go through all those pics with you!!!
