About 12 weeks ago My 16 year old daughter took this, with her iPhone.  She showed it to me yesterday and I was captivated by it... and this quote came to mind, of Ansel Adams;

“The single most important component of a camera is the twelve inches behind it.”

This is our frontyard actually - and while I took several shots of my yard whilst it was snowing last week, I took nothing like this.  I love seeing photos through my children's eyes.  It teaches me something about them every time.

About 5 weeks ago So this just happened - this is very close to where I live, but I am really glad this isn't my subdivision.   When I drove by it earlier today, I thought SPIDER WEBS but no... it's not.  When I went there not 15 minutes ago I discovered (to my dismay, I'll admit, I think I'd have rather it have been spiders) it was green inchworms!  

Just what in the hell is going on here?!  I've lived here many years and I've never seen it like this.  It's a veritable boom of whatever species this is.

About 2 weeks ago So, this happened.  *I recently turned 40*   I said I'd do a pic when I did and here it is.  I didn't airbrush anything and it should be big enough to see all my wrinkles and spots.  My daughter said my wrinkles were all from smiling and so that's why they're still pretty.  She is a sweet, lovely girl :)

I think this one I'm leaving up for good.  I can be 40 forever. :)

About 1 week ago This was from my weekend ranger-ing last Sunday.  Many steps involved in getting the kind of crazy light happening, it involves blowing out your original and pulling in colors in Lightroom with the "Luminance" slider then split toning a black and white copy in Photoshop.

All that tinkering for fun, just to get something a little ghostly and spooky and moody.  I find the little sign on it that says "home" the creepiest of all.  o_o

About 1 week ago Would have been nice if there were clouds that day - but you can't always get what you want.   This is Pee Dee National Wildlife Refuge, right about Noontime.  Driving out onto this meadow after meandering through a tree-covered bushy and claustrophobic marsh area was delightful.  The sounds were amazing - it was quiet in the sense that there were no sounds of industry or humanity anywhere, but it was cacophonous with the sounds of birds and insects.

The birds were wily and fast and irritated by my car.  Couldn't get a decent shot of one :)

Some day in the future I may try and take some photos of cloudscape and stitch them into this shot - it's a perfect canvas for it.  

I wanted to go driving today to look for old barns/fences/sheds, etc.  But they are always on private property.  It's no fun not being able to sneak around someone's land to take pretty pics 8(  I'm always seeing stuff and think to myself "Jeez, look how good you have it, I'd b

About 4 weeks ago +Matt Uebel Had a GIF of this in his stream, but it was a choppy, uncomfortable GIF that didn't flow, so I didn't want to share it (Sorry Matt, but that's how I felt about it :P )

However, he shared this sentiment this morning and I could not agree more with this statement of #truth

About 13 weeks ago I know people are ready for Spring but I have to delight in the one snow we got this year.  We usually get more but our winters have been mild the past two years.  This is right out my front door this morning.
