Restful Place On The HillHave wanted to capture this small farm graveyard for some time, I pass it on the way to the Interstate everyday. This one morning the subtle colors of sunrise seemed like the perfect time to stop. Shot from across the Interstate as I parked on our exit ramp shoulder.Had to wait for traffic to pass.
Spring ShowersWell the weather has been very spring like. The trees are blooming, and rain is in the forecast.
Fly Away
Spent the day with a local flickr friend, Saw alot of feathered wildlife, It was a lovely spring day that turned off overcast. The low light made it difficult to stop action. Realized how lacking in practice I am at flight images.Still thes are the best geese, heron flight images I have ever gotten, I bow to the master, Anni/Bored Barb.LOL Springtime TreasuresOften overlooked bulbs, Like Scilla and Star of Bethlahem bring tiny treasures to the garden.
Spring In Madison CountyAlthough we have had a couple of snow squals late last week, Spring is stubbornly arriving to Madison Co. The grass is turning green, the breezes are blowing and the sun is warm on your shoulder even on cool days.
I have been working hard, We have lost 2 night emplyess recently and replacement is just beginning to be trained to fill one opening. Due to short staffing,I worked alone this weekend. While Saturdays are generaly slow, there were a couple of things that I had to call someone t handle. The silence was eerie.There was the occasional sounds of the heaters going off in the shop that was enough to make me jump while I was in the girls room.LOL and around midnight I found my self singing, just to hear a voice in the empty building. What came to mind at the time was "Here comes the sun,Du du do do. LOL
I have stolen little moments to be inspired totake a photo or two, but found little time for an update. Today was a beautiful spring sky, filled with light fluffy clouds,A perfect day for a walk to The Covered Bridge. Later on a shopping trip for Hubby I found myself downtown. I needed to drop of some cough drops to my nephew who is now living at the Y. I was surprised to see the front of the civic building crammed with semi's. Setting up for the Jazz competitions.
Came home and enjoyed a couple movies Hubby rented earlier, I enjoyed I am legend,but of course I always enjoy Will Smith ,he has such a fine spirit (Bod aint bad either huh ladies? LOl ) I will be making my annual journey to the grand opening at the nurseries, but don't have alot on my list this year. Have way too much garden cleanup to do anyway. Moments Of InspirationEven though I have been hard at work, and sleeping whenever I get the chance, I was able to have moments of photo inspiration this week.
There was the co workers last night, where I ordered Scooby snacks from Northern Lights Pizza to celebrate.
Then there is the obligatory sunset, shot on a "photo" break at work when I noticed the colors and light through the glass door and just had to take a minute to go out and shoot a pot of daffodils I had purchased against the waning light.
And of course,It killed me to walk by these vivid crocus blooms on my way to the car each afternoon, so today after waking from my nap I finally spent a few minute laying in the spring grass to shoot these photos.These are just a sampling of this weeks photos.April showers de tomorrow,who knows what opportunities will arrise.
And then this abstract macro taken with a little help from Hubby, who noticed I was battling the breeze and held a shovel beside the flowers to block the breeze, Thanks Hunny.
Too tired... OK, half way trough the work week, Don't worry, I have taken a few moments to be creative,and I wish I felt energetic enough and had enough spare time to process them and share them with you. Should be able to catch up on the weekend. Until then, visit Steve and enjoy a show of the Northern lights.
April Fools Day...I remembe as a child the pranks we played on April Fools day, Now it seems like just another day. I hardly hear any mention of April fool anymore. Maybe that is the perils of maturity.
I celebrated my 46th B day yesterday. Hubby is on the road at this time, but I got together with a couple of friends for lunch. We all shared a piece of oreo ice cream cake .After lunch there were ordinary chores to run, mainly get gas for the week and buy cat and dog food. I enjoyed the afternoon, and when I returned home there was a pineapple upside down cake waiting for me. It was my BDay, I am allowed dessert all day if I want.LOL
I start another 4 day 12hr stint at work, so for now I will post a photo from my country drive the other afternoon. See ya in a few days.
