Springtime Shots in our Backyard

In the months of looking at many blogs trying to get a feel for what is out there and what I want to do here, I have come across a few neat weekly theme posts.  I have been thinking I need participate in a few of these “blog carnivals” or “blog hops” sometime.  One that I have really enjoyed looking at is at I Should Be Folding Laundry--You Capture.  You capture is a weekly challenge/assignment where folks jump in and post links to their blogs showing what they capture for the theme through their own camera lens.  This week I decided to finally take the plunge and jump in myself!  This week’s You Capture theme is Depth of Field.  I have a few favorite images from this spring that fit perfectly into this challenge.  Hope you enjoy them too!

This first set of pics were taken when the boys and I headed out back one afternoon in early April.  It was a beautiful day.  They guys all had a blast.  TanMan loved getting to put his new walking skills to work.  Great fun was had by all.

The second set of pictures were taken around our backyard.  A dogwood blossom.  Newly emerging sassafras leaves.  A single redbud bloom.  I think I need to print this one and put it up on the wall somewhere!

When you are done here head on over and take a look at more you capture images.  You might be inspired to jump in yourself.
