Yesterday was a wild weather day here in New Hampshire, but on the bright side, the storms ushered in some beautifully cooler and dryer weather for today.
My first thought was to do some shots of the small bits of storm damage we had for @tattoodjay‘s #wednesdaywalk challenge (check out his latest post HERE – it’s a particularly excellent one this week), but soon realized broken branches and battered bushes were boring.
Instead, I decided to wander through my Durham, NH yard and take pictures of things that struck my fancy. Needless to say, many of those things were still covered in raindrops, so I suppose it did end up being a bit storm related. And given I have nearly two dozen pictures here, it seems like I was out in the yard for ages, but it was only about a half hour’s worth of wandering (which netted me over 100 pictures total, because I’m a bit of a shutterbugging nut!).
As always, I used my trusty Nikon COOLPIX P610 (Amazon affiliate link – thanks for the pennies if you click through and order something…LOL) for the photos. I have it set on Auto Mode at the moment, and I typically bounce the exposure bias around between 0 and -2 step.
Hope you enjoy my yard!
Have a great week!

The mushroom is my favourite today. Very delicate.
Loving this series!
Beautiful pictures!! Thanks for sharing.
I’m jealous of all the flowers you have available to photograph. I know summer is coming for me, but my online photography course classmates from the north are torturing me with flower photos! Lovely shots.
The odd seed pod LOOKS like what we called an Oak Apple – actually caused by an insect that burrows into the tree (the oak gall wasp)
They used to be used to make ink. (a tenuous writing connection)
Apparently they also occur widely in N America too.
Cheers!
John (and yes – super pictures!)
