Weekly Winners

The first sign of spring in my yard....




My beautiful dog, able to lay outside because its not too cold or wet....




My beautiful dog again :) Does anyone know how to get rid of the "pet eye" he has? I would love to see his pretty brown eyes in a photo instead of always yellow....




A gorgeous plant I bought, can't remember what it is called....




Again in black and white :)




Azaleas....




And more azaleas :) Love the water drops....

MacroDay - Temperature

My entry for this weeks MacroDay.... Temperature.



Another photo from our infamous ice storm :)

From Another Angle

These photos were taken at ground level with me sitting on my feet. They are of a hole in the bottom of a tree. At this angle the photos make the holes look like instead of an insignificant little hole in a tree, they are caves, large and deep enough to go inside and explore :)









What do you think?

MacroDay - Keys

Here is my entry for this weeks MacroDay challenge.... Keys.



Still working on getting the camera to focus on what I want it to, instead of what it wants, but I think I'm getting better :)

Wordless Wednesday

Unique's Photo Challenge - Macro

I've been practicing my macro shots today and finally came up with a couple usable photos. Its been hard though, they are either blurry, or the background is in focus but not the item, or too much light or not enough, the list goes on.... Here is one that I liked....



They have a 4th of July carnival here and have all those booths where you can buy things. Last year me and my daughter went and I loved these wooden roses. They come in all colors and some are sparkly etc etc. So we each got 6 of them. This picture turned out so clear you can see the dust on the rose... lol. Guess I should have cleaned them before taking photos of them :)

Here's another picture just because I liked it, lol :)

Photo Friday - Fuzzy

These seed pods, or whatever they are, are hanging on my dead Clematis vines and I thought they fit the Fuzzy challenge over at Photo Friday pretty well.

Without flash....




With flash....



Aren't they the neatest things? My daughter says they gross her out, lol.

PhotoHunt - Wooden

This is the tree in the backyard, I was fiddling with the zoom and different settings on the camera. The shadows you see at top right and bottom left are the chainlink fence I was shooting through.
