It was my first time hiking at Inks Lake State Park. I was happy to find such a nice trail with great views.

Firewheel and Snail
I found this gem at Inks Lake State Park. First time I’d seen a snail hanging on a flower petal. Now, just how did it get there?
Out on the Lake
After hiking at Inks Lake State Park, my hiking group gathered for a picnic along the shore. This couple came paddling by, looking happy to be out on the lake on such a fine day.

Spittlebug Foam. A spittlebug is the nymph phase of the Froghopper insect. It creates the foam for insulation and protection.
Scarlet Leather Flower, Take 2
After looking at other photos with textured backgrounds, I realized that if the background was mostly transparent, it would work with a foreground with a lot of detail. So I worked on the Scarlet Leather flower again, this time with rain drops as the background.
My first effort working with the flower photo wasn’t successful, that’s for sure.
It's a long story ...
