Around the House

Playing around with my new 50 mm 1.4 lens.  Great depth of field.

Wild Flowers by the Lake

I love wildflowers!

Just Two

From my garden-Enjoy!

I've never had much luck growing purple coneflowers. Finally this year with the big oak tree gone and my new deck built, I have gotten some to grow. They look lovely beside the deck and I have been able to keep them alive despite almost 8 weeks with very little rain. I hope I will be enjoying this perennial again next year.

Lovely Tree

Since I don't have my camera I am having to go back to some of my old shots. I just learned that my camera is back at Best Buy so I will have it tomorrow. Yeah! This is a pink dogwood in my yard that was so beautiful just a few weeks ago. It is one of my favorite trees.

Bursting forth

A bud from a tulip tree in my neighbor's yard. I was pleased with this shot and how the blossom in the background mirrored the bud in the foreground. I did a bit of post processing in Photoshop. Originally planned a black and white shot but it looked better with a bit of muted color.
