These sunflowers are some my mom planted. They look way better than mine. Of course, she planted hers in the garden while I planted mine in a pot. More of mine actually grew than I had expected, so I think they crowded each other out. Her sunflowers are gorgeous and some are really tall. Those [...]
My nephews discovered a bird’s nest in the tree they love to play around. At first I tried my telephoto lens but then realized that I could get much closer without disturbing anything than I originally thought. I may try to take a photo a day or every two days to document their growth.
My sunflowers are beginning to bloom. This type is my favorite. I just love the rich, dark colors. And I had forgotten how much I love my Sigma telephoto lens. I took some pictures yesterday with it and loved the results. You can definitely tell the focus of this picture with the blurred background. Makes [...]
This morning I went to shoot a couple of pictures of some flowers I bought this weekend. My lens immediately fogged up as it was already pretty balmy outside – especially coming from a nice, cool house. Anyway, it almost looks like I used some sort of filter or something.
I will take some more pictures [...]
Look what my daughter made at pre-school. It’s just too cute. The flowers are made from the fingerprints. The teacher glued gun the stones in place but Raegan told her where to put them. I think it’s adorable and hope that I don’t kill the flowers. I love flowers but have terrible luck keeping them [...]
So, I was cropping a picture with IrFanView when I decided to play with some of the settings. Since our hard drive crashed a while ago, I don’t have anything installed(that I use) to touch up photos. I found a setting for color swap, so I did that, changing RGB for RBG.
I liked how it [...]
I love this time of year. So many flowers are in bloom. My mom’s yard looks so wonderful. It’s hard to stay inside and do anything these days knowing there is such beauty outside. Her garden inspires me to plant more at our house and even try some indoor plants. Her rose bushes are really [...]
We had snow yesterday and it was beautiful. Several inches of the white stuff fell. I loved how the snow clung to this red maple tree. It looked like a glass tree.
We made snow angels, had snowball fights and built a snowman. If my daughter was a little older then I’m sure she would [...]
So technically this photo cannot count as my photo of the day since it was taken around 11:30pm last night – when it was still Thursday and 2009. But I couldn’t resist trying to photograph the moon. The clouds were in the way and it made me wish I had taken some when the moon [...]
It’s so fun to sit and watch the hummingbirds. We always wonder how they can eat enough when they are use so much energy to run other hummingbirds away from the feeder. Here was a rare occasion when there were actually three hummingbirds at the feeder at one time. It didn’t last very long so [...]
