116-365 Bella

116-365

I was sitting outside trying to catch a hummingbird, but they are pretty skittish still, plus the next wave of storms are starting to blow in, so the lighting wasn't good for catching a hummingbird's colors, so I took this photo of Bella instead.

Sunset in Progression

These aren't the highest quality pictures. I came upon this sunset and just grabbed a few quick shots. You can see the progress of the sunset in these shots.

Tiger Lily

This photo of a Tiger Lily in my front yard is not touched up in any way. I took this when the sun was shining right on the lilies. There was still a few drops of water on the flowers after a summer shower.

Storm Clouds

It has been storming a lot over the last few weeks. I took this during a tornado warning we had while out at church camp last week. These photos are not touched up in Photoshop in anyway. Mother Nature can be both beautiful and frightening at the same time.

An Ozarks Tree Frog

I found this little guy on my Mother's patio set; it had fallen out of the umbrella when it was opened up.

Honeysuckle Vine

I actually took this picture Saturday, but forgot to post it.

Post Memorial Day

A small, country cemetery

I found this headstone very interesting. I'm not sure who would want a headstone that is made to look like a log (or possibly a tree stump?), but it made a great photo.

Climbing Clematis

I have had these clematis for years now, but this is the first year they've ever really bloomed. For the last three years since I planted them, something has always happened to them. Usually it's my uncle running over them with a lawn mower before I can get them to start climbing the pole. One year I had them started climbing the pole and then my mom killed them with the weed eater. I'm so glad that they are finally living up to their potential!

Author Note: I took these pictures on Sunday, but had internet troubles and couldn't get them posted.

Water Irises

These Japanese Water Irises have taken over my backyard fish pond. In fact, I'm pretty sure there aren't any fish anymore. It's going to be quite a job to pull these out because the root structure is enormous and much too heavy to lift.

Sunny Saturday

Because of work, I haven't had time to work on my photography much over the last couple of weeks. However, I still managed to take a few pictures; I just didn't have time to get them edited and loaded. Here are two pictures from last Saturday.

Sawmill

My dad has a small sawmill. I took some pictures while my brother was sawing logs for the horse barn he is building.
