Spring 2010!

Oh how I love thee, spring!!! :) A promise of new life and new blooms.. Sunshine, warmth, and happy days..

A robin in my backyard and I was able to get pretty close to it! Fortunately, my cat was inside the house!





Buds of green = tree of life!


Geese on the farm..


I know! a crow?? who wants pictures of silly crows??! I just loved the branches and the warmth of the setting sun!


Love the backlighting on this cow - just made the picture more interesting..


Aww! I love calves! Reminds me that every creature needs a mother who would love them unconditionally.. Growing up on a farm, calving season was one of my favorite scenes.. Watching them frolick and bounce around the pasture was just a sight for me to behold for always!


You are still remembered, Don. We miss you so much!

Summer scenes 2009

Here are just some of the summer scenes of 2009.. I always enjoy just driving along or taking a walk and really "seeing" nature in its own beauty..










Can you spot the deer??

I just love horses! I was just driving along and saw this and screeched to a stop to quickly capture this! Love how the light is falling on the horses' back and of course the "cuddle"!

Summer evening... see those tiny specks.. bugs!

Dragonfly! - hard to catch 'em! Have a few more coming in my next scenery post...

A bug on a mesh screen from a tent.

I have been experimenting with multiple exposures and came up with these two.. kinda fun images!

Animals, birds and trees

There's something about SPRING that brings out all the animals and birds of the Earth. They are AMAZING if we stop and take a moment and watch those creatures do their thing and allow us to be in nature with them. (did that make sense?) These photos were taken on two separate evenings.. One when I drove aimlessly and another when I walked around..






Anybody know what kind of birds these are??

A chickadee (?)

Oh to soar like this.....

Just love the rays of setting sun seeping through this tree!

Ain't this calf a darlin'??!!

April 2009

I love being in the outdoors in all weather conditions. A misty morning, a late evening sun, a noonday fair, a rainy day.. oh the possibilities that can be captured on my camera!

For some reason, I love barbed wires! :) one with cow hide and one with a raindrop!

A super close up of an old fence!
