I think the phrase, it’s all in the details, would make a great state motto for West Virginia. I didn’t really want to use it as a title again but with this photo, I really couldn’t think of anything better.

I’ve just recently purchased a new digital camera and the photo in this post is from that camera.

I took this photo with plans to use it on the Backwoods blog. My intended photo was of a yellow jackets nest in the ground. I have seen about six in-ground bees nest so far this year. More than any year previously.

Apparently the smart photo feature on the new camera decided the bee itself was more important subject matter. This photo was completely unintentional but I think it looks pretty unique.

There is a reason why I no longer go camping without my camera. It is the same reason I love hiking West Virginia’s backwoods - the scenery.

Of course I can’t go into the Peachtree area on a photo taking adventure and not stop at Peachtree Falls.

Last but definitely not least, this turtle was practically begging for his picture to be taken.

There is not much to do on the mountain today. It has been raining off and on since late last night. So I took the opportunity to play with the camera a little bit and a couple of photo enhancing programs.

I took this particular photo because I like the way water beads on plants and I wanted to see if my fairly inexpensive camera could capture the essence. The jury is still out on that one but while playing around with some software I think it created some interesting views.
