Beneath Your Feet

My dad’s Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) field planted in clover. So soft and fresh under my feet.

 

 

Capturing Movement

I was originally going to post this picture for movement…

But, then this just happened!  One morning this week she dressed herself in this outfit to do the chicken chores. I couldn’t resist grabbing my camera.  What made it even better is that she began dancing as I was taking pictures! Cracked me up and at the same time melted my heart!  For me this was the perfect set for movement.

 

Texture

These poppies in my friends garden were huge! Loved the center of these poppies they have great texture and look at the stems, too!

Face Your Fears

This is actually from my archives. I don’t have to fear because my God is bigger than anything!

We’re in love with our girls! The other day I was cleaning out the water tank we are currently housing them in. I give each of my children three chicks to watch over while I clean out the old shavings and put in new. My youngest son had taken off his work boots to cool his feet and two of the chicks decided to investigate it.  One promptly climbed up on the sun warmed boot and fell immediately asleep. The other was a bit more curious and decided to check out the inside of the boot. I of course had to capture it all with my camera.

A Little Birdy

Last Friday I took a bit of time out of our busy day to stop at a park that is near our home.  We have been to this park many times, but I never have my camera with me.  Each time I drive by I tell myself that one day I will stop with my camera.

Friday was the day!

It was perfect. The day was overcast, but pleasant. Perfect for the pictures I had in mind.

It turned out to be way more fun than I had imagined.

 

Thankfully I had taken some bread along with us, because these goobers were ultra “friendly”.  I had the boys tossing pieces of bread and kept reminding them to watch my backside! I seriously did not want to be goosed! Several times my youngest son and I had to make a run for it.  They seemed to have preplanned moves.  They would come at us in almost a “u” shape and we would try to back up tossing bread as we went and then we would take off running and laughing our fool heads off.

It was all good until we ran out of bread…then we had to boogey out of there.  It is amazingly difficult to run when you are laughing so hard. I’m pretty sure the boys would have ran faster if their ole’ ma hadn’t been lagging behind!

My boys were so patient with me as I took hundreds of pictures.

 

 

And then I got the ultimate reward when I found the geese and their babies.

 

 

It was a perfect hour and I can’t wait to go back.  This time with a picnic lunch and a lot more bread!

Water

Down at the pond we have these really cool looking seed heads. I just love all the detail in them, so I plucked one out of the ground and stuck it in the mud at the edge of the pond.

Light

After I got my photos from the pond loaded on my computer I was happily shocked to see that I had captured the sun rays!  WOW! Not sure how I did it, but I love it!

 

 

Chocolate

 

Animal

Loved the stance of this Black Cap Chickadee. He was getting ready for flight when I captured this.

Scavenger Hunt~ 05/22

 

This weeks items: My Passion, Sound of Music, Inner Beauty, Ethereal, Sharp

 

 My Passion….

Right now I’m passionate about getting amazing Hummingbird shots. I attempted this week.  Not exactly “wowed” by what I came up with, but I’m going to keep at it! These buggers are quick and I know if I stick with it they will help me become a better photographer.

 

Sound of Music

I love the sound of Canadian Geese, especially in the fall when they fly over our house every morning and evening.  I took this one from my archives (I took this in April), due to an excessively busy week.

 

 

 Inner Beauty

I love the blooms on this Phlox!  Hidden in these striped buds is a lot of inner beauty.

 

Ethereal

 

Sharp

This Downy Woodpecker has sharp little gripping feet!

SOOC

 

Sprouting…

Isn’t It Ironic…

How a yard full of Dandelions can create a beautiful setting! However, make you disgusted when they start blowing their fluff all over the place!
