Weekly Photo Challenge: Change

When I think of change in my world of photography I think of the change of the seasons. So today I wanted to share with you one of my favorite “series” or trio from my vast collection of photos of nature. These are especially sentimental to me because it is of a dogwood in our front yard that meant a lot to my late mother-in-law. I hope you enjoy!

 


52 Tuesdays Challenge #9: Tetons

We got a little traveling in over the weekend. On Saturday we headed out for Jackson, Wyoming – also known as Jackson Hole, Wyoming. There we walked around town, ate at the Silver Dollar Bar, did some shopping, and drove around the Elk Refuge. We had made reservations to go snowmobiling on Sunday so we were excited to be there and get into some snow! Well, due to the little snow storm that came in early Sunday morning we weren’t able to make it to the snowmobiling adventure but we did get to see even more wildlife than the day before.

Here are some photos from our adventures! And I even have a guest photographer on this post – my Hubby!

Where the mountains meet you

Having just returned from a trip to Montana I have some photos to share! One of them that I have already shared on my Facebook page caught the attention of several people. The more I look at it the more I like it so I am sharing it with you here! I like the differences in the landscape and the rolling clouds bringing a snow shower. Hope you enjoy!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Home

Home is where your heart is.

Home has several different meanings for me. It is the physical place that I share with my husband and all our four-legged children as well as our two-legged children. My heart is always with my husband so in that sense the arms of my husband are my home.

But to share in the challenge this week of home I thought I would share some of my favorite photos of home.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Water

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is Water. I like this challenge because it is related directly to the 5 Chinese elements. So Cee shared what those are/can be:

Sea, Ice, Storms, Rain, Steam, Fluid, Sound, Mist, Acid, Salt, Time, Pressure, Moon, Mirror, Snow, Frost, Sugar

I also wanted to go out of the norm and find those 3 photos that were not so obvious in the interpretation of water. I’ve chosen mist, ice, and moon.

Snow in black and white

We had a snow here in Texas on Christmas Day. Technically, a white Christmas. It had it beautiful moments but wasn’t really heavy enough or cold enough to stay around long. So I did get a few photos to share with you of the smaller aspects. Here are some that I altered to black and whites.

Enjoy!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections

This week’s Weekly Photo Challenge of Reflections was admittedly an easy one for me. But I don’t often like easy – they are supposed to be challenges. So I looked back in my photos to see if I could find a reflection that I might have missed. This is the one that I found. It is our own pond after a winter snow – which seems appropriate because it is a smoldering 29 degrees here, according to Swackett.

Enjoy!

WinterTide prints arrived!

So excited that the prints for the WinterTide show arrived today! Now its time to go get them framed!

So excited to share with you that TWO of my photos were accepted to the finals of the WinterTide Arts Show in Hot Springs, AR at the Fine Arts Center of Hot Springs which will begin December 7 and run thru the 29th . This past March my photo “Thick Mist” was accepted to the finals of the Regional Show.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Close

I found it hard to choose a photo or photos for this one. I do a lot of close ups of flowers but that seemed too simple… So I went with a twist – those things in nature that you get as close to as you can but can’t get reallllyyy close to for varied reasons.

Close to nature and Pixies!

 

As close as I could get to the top of Mt Rainier!


Crashing the Party

Several blue jays look quizzically at a cardinal who proudly struts away with his treat.

Everyone seems to love the cardinals I post here so I though I would share another blogger's cardinal shot...

The changing face of a bird in the snow

I discovered this morning that even birds have facial expressions! Here are two photos of the same bird – note the face or eyes in each of the photos…


More winter birds

The last photo I posted a few days ago seemed to really capture some attention and I have a few more that I truly love! (Forgive me if I’ve posted them on here before. They also appear in my portfolio book on Blurb.)


More snow – snowy seat and snowy pier – pictures from yesterday

Sometimes I run out of creative names for photos – this is one of those times….

Snow, snow, snow – pictures from yesterday

It snowed quite lightly yesterday here in Indianapolis. Not enough to stick. Just enough to make me worry that I would have to drive in it. So here are some pictures from a much more beautiful snow at home the weekend that my husband proposed to me.

Enjoy!

 

 

 


It felt cold!! – a picture from yesterday

As the cold front blew into Indianapolis yesterday my Texas soul cringed and froze! It reminded me of the winter I spent in Cleveland! So here are some pics of what it FELT like to me rather than how it actually was – no snow in Indianapolis…
