hydrangea

Past its prime, and trimmed since I snapped it's portrait.

Harumph

This is what I got the other night withthe lens that was repaired. Bleh, I changed the settings , I have some dimmer ones, all withe the same lack of focus.This is what I go back in July when the lens was working. big difference.

magic

water, cold and light.

Glazed

It took me long enough to get out in the ice and shoot a few, and dang was it cold. But it was beautiful too. Heavily overcast when I shot these.

decorative grass

Playing in the park, using the kit lens, developing a love hate relationship with it.

this morning

Unlike yesterday, this morning dawned bright and colorful, the temp was lovely and the sun was happy. But it was all down hill from there. The sky closed up and tossed a few inches of snow on us and the wind blew it across our ever drifting road.

reluctant morning

Not that I blame the sun for wanting to stay cuddled up in the clouds.

Alone

I love the naked trees. Nature's own sculpture.

Snow

Went out to shoot a few at the park after church, its hard to beat the quiet stillness of the snow covered park.

past

These grow out my back door, spring onion or chives or something. I never have figured out exactly what they are. But they pop up and bloom a pretty white flower, and like many of the bulbs around here they where a pleasant surprise the first year they bloomed.

natures ribbons and another silhouette

The first silhouette was taken on a grey day this one on cloudless day, I wanted to compare the difference. there isn't much really. On my way to take the silhouette I noticed this one stalk of grass had very curly blades. Looked like streamers to me, or ticker tape.

Caught up, finally...

Snapped a few today. This is not what I got out of the car to shoot, I saw them when I was getting back in. I loved the silhouette they made.
