MY TAKE ON PHOTOGRAPHY

"The reason why we want to remember an image varies: Because we simply 'love it', or dislike it so intensely that it becomes compulsive, or because it has made us realize something about ourselves, or has brought about some slight change in us. Perhaps the reader can recall some image after seeing of which has never been quite the same."

Spring Time :)

So glad to finally get some nice weather around here, the nice days have been just so far and few between! But ever since getting out last week with my extention tubes at our outing to the playground, I've been quite frankly a bit obsessed.  I went out yesterday morning, although it was quite cloudy & dreary out, I was determined. Later in the day, the sun appeared & had another outing with the kiddies to our nearby park, capturing them & a few flowers along the way....  Today, picking up what I can find in the yard to photograph, dandelions seemed to have worked out just fine.  & oh my windiness today, can I tell you how difficult it is to shoot macros in the wind, I was lucky to get what I did today :)

These little buds, were from our front yard tree...I was so drawn to them, because they literally were like little pom poms hanging from the bud, so pretty.

Here's an azalea saying hi to spring already :)

My Dad's little pine tree, it was about a foot high when he gave it to me just a few years ago. It had been growing out of the corner of his shed & decided to give it to me...(I'm always complaining that we simply don't have enough trees in our yard). & to think it's bigger than me now, it's thriving because it's his, I just know it.  Thaks one thing he always had a knack for that I certainly do not & that's gardening.

One of my favorite shots from yesterday morning, because as little as these little buds are, you can truly see the reds! They start off this red, change to a brilliant green all summer long, & return this lovely red once again come fall.

  5. Oh my sweet goodness. Wish I'd stopped by sooner. These shots take my breath away. Seriously. Extension tubes, eh? I've never worked with those. Can you tell me how they work? They are all so beautiful I can't even pick a fav. Seriously. WOW! Thanks so much for participating in my spring photo challenge. I do hope that you will stop by soon for my summer challenge. I'm teaming up with live and love out loud and it should be announced in a few days. Thanks again.
