Week 44: Levi's in Charge

ask Levi for an idea

Here's our conversation...
Me:  Levi, what should I photograph today?
Levi:  You're going to Whitefish Island?
Me:  Yes.
Levi:  Running water.
Me:  Where will I get that at Whitefish Island?
Levi:  The rapids.
Me (whining):  But I'd have to carry the tripod.
Levi (with finality):  You asked me and that's what I chose.

So I listened.  Partly since I did in fact ask him, partly because again, I left it until the last minute and partly because frankly, I had no other ideas.  It was a beautiful sunny and warm afternoon so I guess I should have expected the park to be full of fair-weather folk but I was disappointed nonetheless when I ran into people at every turn.  As soon as the snow flies it will be just me and the determined dog walkers so...patience.

I didn't bring the tripod however, I just rested the camera on the railing of the shelter to capture some moving water.  Lazy, I know.

While wandering around, I noticed some last berries.

And a lonely leaf.

This milkweed was shining in the low sun.

I haven't photographed a chickadee for a while so here is a cutie.

And finally we have some backlit milkweed struggling to escape its dying pod.
