@maia_t: For me it is very simple in the summer time. I just walk out my door with a camera in my hand and go into the fields and woods!

@amy: Thanks much, Amy. Would you believe I considered pulling this one in favor of another? It just goes to show you that once you've posted something maybe you'd better leave it up.
