It's been awfully quiet around here lately. I thought I would start a thread asking everyone where their next photo excursion will be.
Personally, I'm in a bit of a rut between winter and spring....I'm looking forward to late March and April in the east gorge, but it's still too early. I'm waiting for the back yard to get interesting so I can get crawl around with my macro and get grass stains on my stomach.
How about all of you. What's your next adventure?

I've switched from landscape photography (too competitive for me any longer) to strictly macro photography and just finished redoing my website to reflect that change. What little time (except for right now, of course) I have for NPN I spend in the Flora forum.
You mention you are waiting for Spring for macro....actually right now is also a good time. Go to your local nursery and pick up some plants/flowers that would make for interesting subjects. If there is an arboretum in your area then look for decaying leaves, tree bark, ferns, etc...all make for great macro subjects. Macro is a year 'round venture....
Hmmm, maybe drenched doug fir cones even? Thanks for reminding me not to look for the obviously beautiful and then get closer. Sometimes getting closer is the first step to seeing anything at all.

I am working on my birds right now, but am planning a full assault on the gorge come spring.
