I caught this Black Capped Chickadee making himself look nice for the other Chickadees!

Here is another photo from the ice storm that we had last week.

Here is another of the large trees at Salem Willows park in Salem, MA. I thought the roots to this huge tree looked almost like feet. Who knows maybe its Treebeard from the “Lord of the Rings”!

I went to Salem Willows Park in Salem, MA yesterday and in the park they have a good number of very large, very old trees. Here is a shot looking up one of them.

I took this photo from that same overlook that I took the photo of the Castle in the Clouds that I posted earlier in the week.

There is something a bit sad to me about seeing a dead tree that is surrounded on all sides by a sea of life.

While hiking last fall I came upon some wild apple trees in the woods. Someone had put this apple on the tree like this and I found it interesting. It almost looked like the tree was holding the apple and offering it to passer byers. I decided to only leave the apple in color since I wanted that to be the focus of the photo.

As promised here is another shot I took today with my new lens the Tamron 70-300 Di LD Macro. I barely saw this little squirrel in the tree he blended in so well with it. He looks pretty comfortable laying on that branch. I am pretty happy with this lens so far it. The lens was at the full 300mm and the image is still very sharp. I could never have gotten in this close with my old lenses. You can see some minor purple fringing on the small twig in front of the squirrel but that is something I knew this lens sometimes has trouble with when I purchased it. I took a whole bunch more photos today with my Tamron lens. I will be posting some of them tomorrow along with my mini review of the Tamron 70-300!

This tree was alone and above all the others overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee. I really like how the black and white conversion came out on this one.
