I headed to Wire Road Conservation area to practice with my new camera. Here are some of the shots that I liked most.

I was hoping to find more mushrooms but this is the only one that I came across. It was a little dry in the area I was in, oh well. Flowers and bugs will have to do for now...

I came across a rail line. I wonder how many pesticides they spray to keep it this plant free...

These little guys seemed to really love the Goldenrod. I just learned in writing this that they are called Goldenrod Soldier Beetles.

Late blooming phlox. I was surprised to see this as phlox generally blooms in the Spring/Summer.
