Looking Twiggy
Last weekend I went geocaching with Sparky and saintvi. We managed 2 "First To Finds" also known as FTFs. That means we were the very first people to find a newly placed cache. It was lots of fun. The last cache we looked for was in the swampy area designated as the Fen. The ground was soggy and there were places where there was standing water. It might sound miserable but the sun was shining and the birds were singing. I stopped to take a couple photos of the wonderful sea of red twigs. I think they were either wild blueberries (there was a sign that warned "No Picking") or Dogwood trees (the bench had a sign "Red Dogwood observatory bench"). Either way the color in the sun was stunning.
Here is saintvi with me posing for Sparky to get a good photo. There were several that were too awful to publish - one in particular where I'm staring off into the distance with an expression that indicated there was a skunk nearby.This was the keeper!!
As the weather get warmer I hope we have more adventures together!!

Those bushes/trees are gorgeous. That's a good picture of you and saintvi. Glad you had fun.
I liked the photo of us - Sparky took one good photo and lots of awful ones!
The red is interesting. It reminds me of the beginning scene from StarTrek Into Darkness where they are on the red planet.
I'll have to re-watch that movie with these photos in mind...
I absolutely love the red twiggy trees -- the first with the white heart in the upper right, and the second with the ? blueberries near the bottom! And it's good to see you and saintvi enjoying the geocaching together!
Thanks! I'm still not sure what kind of tree/shrub they were but the color was eye catching!
I am looking forward to the nice weather too! Yes, I wold like to geocache too! Love the pictures. Maybe someday we'll run into each other in the back country.
Do you geocache?? If so what is your caching name? We go all over the place, maybe we could meet for a little geocaching!
