A Hope of Spring
A Hope of Spring
Although this is not the best shot, it is my own little hope of the spring to come. This was the first of the jonquils to bloom in my yard.

She's Ready For Her Close Up!
I was taking pictures of these cows for a brochure; I had my wide angle lens on and this cow kept getting closer and closer. It wasn't until after she was inches from my lens that I realized exactly how close she was to me. Apparently she is practically a pet cow. These cattle would get so close that it was sometimes hard to get the shots I was looking for. I just loved this photo so much that I had to share it.

Twins
Although I haven't posted pictures in the last week, that doesn't mean I haven't been taking them. I have been so busy at work that I just couldn't/didn't take time to edit, load and post pictures. Also, the weather hasn't been very inspirational lately. This one I took Saturday...even though it was sprinkling that afternoon.
My parents recently had two sets of twin calves born on their farm. One set was born just four days before the other. All calves and both moms are doing fine. This picture is of two of the twins...oddly enough, this picture is of one calf from each set. All four calves are almost identical to each other with the same white face with black markings.

Twins...sort of
Still No Pictures
Sorry I haven't posted any pictures the last several days. I have been so busy at work that I just haven't had time for much else. I'm off tomorrow and hoping to have some time to work on my photography.
Thanks for your patience.

Lake Views
It was a beautiful, warm (85 degree) day that hinted of Spring, and so I decided to stop by a small, local lake. I took quite a few pictures, and had several favorites. I decided to post two of those favorites.

Light on the Water
A Line of Pines
I feel a lot better about this photo than the rest of the ones I have put up this week. I always like my pictures better when I venture out of my back yard. I will admit being sick this last week was not good for my photography! Bronchitis made me not feel good and the cough syrup (with codeine) made me too sleepy to care about much.
This is a picture of pines that my dad planted years ago along the highway. I've always loved how these pines line the highway.
I put the pictures through some Photoshop filters. I used the magnetic lasso tool to choose the sky and used a blue filter, then lassoed the trees and used a green filter. The filters really made the trees pop.

An Appology
I feel like I've been getting really lazy with my photography lately and I want to apologize. I'm going to try to find more time and get outside my own back yard for inspiration and subjects. No picture today. I slept through most of the day with this stupid bout of bronchitis. I hope to bring you some quality photos soon.
