I slipped out before daylight this morning to get in a little hunting time before Kathy got up and around. I had seen where a landowner was building a couple of retention basins above his main pond. He had dozed off a couple of acres of ground along a bluff top to get the material for the small dams. I found a few flakes laying around and then spotted a long scraper. About a half hour later I saw a great little point sticking out from under a dirt clod.

On the way up to the area, I had to get through all those darned wildflowers in the timber. I was hoping for snow like you guys got over in the eastern part of the state last night but I'll just have to wait until next year. ;D

OUTSTANDING pics Uncle Tom! :headbang: (Not too shabby on the rocks either!)

Well, we are expecting our first child this June and my wife is dead-set on getting a really nice camera. DARN ::) I suppose I'll have to help her pick one out and practice taking photo's with it so I can help her take those pictures of the baby (and hopefully sneak a few flora/fauna/geology pics.)

I may be e-mailing you with some advise since you are the "Master"! :notworthy:
 

Thanks for the comments, Guys! Shoot me questions any time, Sprig. I don't know much about cameras other than the ones I own but I can tell you what I know about them.
 

Nice finds and great pictures!!!! :icon_thumleft:
 

Snow shots would have been cool Tom maybe next year like you said .Nice pics thanks for sharing .
 

Looks like that spot paid off. Nice ones. Those pictures are awesome too, the level of detail is amazing.
