My wife and I both love the outdoors and nature, and try to get outside any chance we get. For me, it is like a mental and physical recharge, especially when I can just quietly observe the sights, sounds, and other sensations of the natural world around me.
We've been going to a lot of state & local parks to swim and/or hike. Recently we went to Scotland Run, a local park, to walk the trails there. We went fairly deep into the woods, and I ended up getting a poison ivy rash up my right leg.
Otherwise, it was a great hike and I got a lot of nice photos of the plants and wildlife. I uploaded them to my photo album:

| An orange fungus |

| I thought this moss was pretty cool. It was white with a branching structure. |

 |
| This little caterpillar also had an intricate branching structure coming off its body. |
 |
| I managed to capture this dragonfly resting on a branch. |
 |
| This butterfly landed in the sand just long enough for me to snap a photo. |

| My wife saw this and asked, "Are those beetles banging???" |
