Set 8 (2014)  Wes Lavin's Foliage Photographs
Bob Jensen at Trinity University 

We have a long row of wild roses all along the east edge of our property
I  can't remember when I took the picture below with the White Mountains in the background

In Summer 2010 while I was working in the yard a man named Wes Lavin approached me and asked if he could
photograph our wild roses. Since that day Wes has sent me some of his excellent photographs. He prides himself
in being an amateur photographer, but he has the equipment of a professional photographer. Whereas I have two
cheap cameras that I point and click, Wes sets up his camera on a tripod and interchanges the lenses for outstanding pictures.

The pictures of a wild rose and a lupine are among the first pictures he ever sent to me.

About a mile down the road there's a farm called the Iris Farm
Years back Wes sent me this picture of the Iris Farm in springtime

For some reason there was a helicopter hovering low over the field on this day

Wes travels in New England in the various seasons just to take photographs.
A few weeks ago he sent me a bunch of his latest 2014 foliage pictures
I will share some of these photographs with you.
They were taken in Vermont and New Hampshire
I reduced the size so you don't have to scroll to see a full picture.

I will begin with his pictures taken not far away around Pittsburg, New Hampshire
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburg,_New_Hampshire
Pittsburg is the northernmost village in New Hampshire and is a popular area for viewing moose.

As I mentioned above, Pittsburg near the Canadian border is popular for viewing Moose
Wes took this picture with a telephoto lense
How could anybody shoot such an ugly young animal?
Killing a moose is not sporting, although it's really not smart to get close to one in the wild

Moose --- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose
In southern Canada and among all the USA states bordering Canada the moose are mysteriously disappearing.
The suspected culprit is tick infestation due to global warming.

I'm not sure where Wes took this foliage picture, possibly in Rumney

Below is a picture taken of our cottage by Wes in the summer when the French lilacs were in bloom

Thank you Wes Lavin for being such an avid amateur photographer who shares
In the future I will share more of my pictures taken by Wes Lavin

Below is a picture taken by my neighbor in 2010 when a moose visited our July 4 yard sale
Moose customers want everything for free
Who am I to refuse them?
