i can personally guarantee there are at least three 4-leaf clovers in this picture. can you find them?

i came across these flowers in front of a neighbor's house. they are five petaled, small yellow kinda-mountain laurel-y looking. from the side it looks like an organic, this way that way, growth pattern but from directly overhead it is surprisingly symmetrical and stacked.

More fun with the macro lens! It's been unseasonably hot here, and murphy has been panting like mad. this is what his freakishly long tongue looks like up close. also, i have found may to be the best time of year for finding 4 leaf clovers. I've been averaging a few a day, but today was the first 5 leaf clover find of the season!

a very cool sign on route 9w on the stretch between highland and newburgh. one of the colleens has always wanted to take photos of all the retro motel signage along this strip of road. perhaps there can be a chapter for dairy bars!

it's the night before a party on the farm for elly, steve, luke and annie. i looked in on my nephew sleeping and found this. i especially love the foot up in the air! (and yes, his head is hanging off the side)
