Field Day
When Sunday was winding down I took the camera into the fields around the house. The wildflowers are starting to fight with the grass for the better views. I had fun looking for interesting subjects until the bugs decided I invaded their space and chased me off. I have to remember to get more repellant at the store…

She turned, slightly embarrassed…
A few weeks ago I stopped at my neighbor’s house to ask if it was OK for me to photograph the daffodils that line his driveway. He was great, pointing out all the other flowers in the yard I should photograph. Now he comes over to let me know when a new blossom arrives.
The image below is a Japanese Peony. That blossom is bigger than a grapefruit! We walked around the yard after I captured a few images so he could show me more opportunities that will be available soon. I’m really looking forward to the water lilies on his pond. He is going to mow the bank better so I’ll have a clear view.
I need to get a few of the images printed and framed for him…

How do you capture the wind?
I sat in the chair in the living room on Sunday reading a book as the wind whipped the trees outside. It was a pretty nice day with intermittent sun and a wonderful cloud cover. There was a few sprinkles occurring every now and then but nothing really too drastic to fully ruin the day. It was the wind that had my attention.
From where I was sitting I could see various trees out the window and watching the effect of the wind was quite mesmerizing. And then the sun poked through the clouds. The added benefit of spotted highlights really had me thinking I needed to capture this movement. My first few attempts with the trees just didn’t work out. I went around back and tried with the lilac bush. Success!
The lighting wasn’t as dramatic as the trees from my window but the effect of the wind is definitely visible. My method of capturing the wind is to capture what it does…
