You Capture: Spring
Posted by Jenna in photography on April 20, 2011
Yesterday and today were complete washes due to the crazy-unpredictable-but-kinda-predictable weather that is spring. However, I did get some great spring photos this weekend, including a few that I really foresee being framed in my house sometime soon!

I almost blew off of a ladder to stay far enough away from this nest but still get a shot of the eggs. My mother-in-law held me in place. I’m sure we looked hilarious.

I came across these in the wild while geocaching with my husband.

Blooms at my mother-in-law’s house again.

Magnolias = spring for me. They remind me of The Farm and my grandmother.
The theme this week for Beth’s You Capture was, obviously, Spring. I enjoyed challenging myself to get out a few times last week and this weekend to take these photos. It’s really been beautiful — until the past two days! Next week’s theme is pink — which makes me think of more magnolias, my apple tree which should be in bloom on my birthday and the Munchkin whom I’ll be seeing! Hooray!

Snapped through our window (I knew he would fly if I opened it) on February 8, 2011. As an aside, I entered this particular photo in Greeblemonkey’s February photo contest via the photo’s flickr page.
Picture Summer – Day 6
Posted by Jenna in photography on July 7, 2010
Today’s challenge revolved around scenic landscapes, an area with which I struggle. Add in a very busy day and not being able to get out until the evening sunny hours, and I felt overwhelmed with the task. All the same, I took some “nice” shots, though nothing stellar.
My intention was to shoot out at the lake. On the way, however, I got distracted by this field. I really liked this shot, and it is the one that I ended up submitting.

I snapped a few others that I liked. In fact, my husband liked this one of the trees better than the one I submitted. I do like it because of the “under the trees” perspective.

And I loved this shot, washed out and into the sun as it may be. My husband hated it, however, and I didn’t submit it. There’s something special about it though, and I love it.

In non-scenic outtakes of my evening adventure, I found some Queen Anne’s Lace that looked lovely with the grass as a green background.

And some buzzards. This is as close as they let me get before they flew off.

Today is the last day to join Picture Summer!
