sunshine-y

After burning through my first pack of film, and half-way through my second, this is my first Polaroid shot that I truly love.  

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

my neighbors' flowers

Some of my favorite photos have been shots taken of my neighbors' small flower gardens.  They probably think I'm crazy out there laying flat-out on the sidewalk taking close up shots of what looks like dead flowers.  But sometimes they result in shots like this (one of my favorites):


I took a few more this week, I'll share a couple:





I have a small patch of flowers myself, and I've taken lots of pictures of them as well, but I love having a bit more variety just steps away from my own front door.

happy weekend!


I came across this on a walk recently.  Apparently the cows in this field (who weren't there when we visited) have all been trained to eat weeds rather than grass.  They're more nutritious for the cows and the native grasses are given a better opportunity to grow, increasing the biodiversity of plants, insects, birds, and other wildlife, as well as improvements in the soil.  Who knew you could train a cow?

Have a great weekend!

happy weekend!


I found these little chamomile flowers in a garden planted by students at our local school.  Each class had their own section in the garden.  I think these belonged to the 3rd graders.

Have a wonderful weekend!

sunny side up


I can't tell you how much I love my macro lens.  Shooting macro opens up a whole new world of subjects and textures. I love how I can break something down into it's most basic elements and reveal the details you may have missed otherwise, like these little yellow flowers within the flower.  I'm a sucker for a good macro shot.  Are you?

happy weekend!


I need to spend this weekend clearing out my hard drive so that I can fit more photos!  I think I'll manage some fun time in there too.  Have a great weekend, everyone!
