Reaching For The Sky

I can’t speak for other photographers but for me there’s nothing worse than a long layoff between photo shoots. After nearly a month I finally had some time off and managed to find some time to get out into nature once again and take some photos.

I ventured out to one of my favourite areas and came away with about five photos I was happy with out of about 80 frames. Some of the other frames were OK but I guess I’m just becoming too picky and decided to weed out the so-so shots.

This was probably my favourite photo from the day. I found a small patch of yellow wild flowers (someone smarter than me can tell you what they are) and tried many different things to be creative. I finally decided to get low and shoot up at them looking toward the sky and I was pleased with this result. I loved how the colours were strong and think it works nicely.

Please feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Spring Is Blooming

After a long winter it’s nice to not only get outside in the warmth but to find sure signs that Spring has officially arrived.

I grabbed my camera and made visit to my flowerbed behind the house and found several different flowers blooming.

This is one photo I snapped that I was pleased with the result.

Monarch On Flower

On a hot August day we ventured out to take some photos of butterflies. They are always plentiful at that time of year.

This Monarch butterfly was kind enough to feed just long enough for me to capture this photo. They weren’t always this cooperative.
