The Curve

The little flowers on our path this morning were really showing off!  I guess a cloudy sky after a few hot, sunny days has them happy. Hope you enjoy!

Hummingbird Rhapsody in Blue

The other evening, while sitting outside with my mom, a few of her hummingbirds decided to get brave.  They are typically brave when its only her because, if you know my mom, she is Snow White's incarnate.  Animals regularly flock to her.  But not when I'm there, especially with the big noisy thing that is my camera.  The bird's would come up to the feeder, but as soon as I would take a shot, they were off.  They did not like the click of my shutter.  They would flit around, chasing each other, but not coming close enough for another shot.  When they would come close, it was only for a second, as if they were daring each other.  Eventually, bravery, and most likely hunger, brought them in closer.  I was finally able to get some very interesting silhouette shots, which I can say, I am very pleased with.  I hope you enjoy!

The Cows

I have been wanting to take some photos of cows for a long time.  Don't ask me why.  We live in an area that, if you drive for 10-15 minutes in either direction, you will find cows.  I have never been close to a cow in person.  The closest I can remember is in the car driving by their fields. I decided to stop the other day, be brave and take my photos.  Cows are bigger than you think. 

At first, they were pretty far off in the distance, so I decided to take some scenic shots.

Then, one of them started to pay attention to me...

Before I knew it, the whole heard was walking right towards me!  I didn't know what to do.... so I ran and got in the car...sorry, there are no photos of that!  After I recovered and they veered off to the right, I got out and took a shot of, what looks to me to be, a young bull...

I then saw a shaggy cow, leading up the rear of the heard.  She looked awesome...

That's the end of my cow adventure for this trip.  I know I will have many more.  I hope I'll get to be more brave:)

Good morning bloggers! The sun is out, rising and shining bright, casting its lively glow on all of nature (can you tell I'm a little goofy this morning?). 

Here are this morning's images... Enjoy!!

Queen Anne's Lace Series, Vol 2

The second volume of my Queen Anne's Lace Series.  The minimalist aspect of this series is something newer in my work, although some of the images aren't as minimal as others.  I hope you enjoy.
