An Ever Changing View

As a little girl, I can remember that one of my favorite things to do was watch the clouds.  I would see dogs, horses, whales, giants, all sorts of images.  It didn’t matter if we were driving down the road or I was laying in the fresh, green grass, I always found pictures in the sky.  Then just when you spot something, it changes.  So dynamic.  I still love to cloud watch with my guys.  This is what we found this week…

You have to get good and comfortable…  Relax…  Let your mind drift and imagine.

Are you ready??????

  Check out the whale’s tail.  Ready to make a splash in the sky.

 Then there was this dark cloud.  Grumpy old man.  He needs to cheer up.

There are some days that just are not good for finding cloud shapes.  But nonetheless you still need to keep a close watch on these skies too. 

You might see some lightening, or end up spying a rainbow.

You might catch a crop duster buzzing by.  My guys are always excited about catching a glimpse of these in our backyard skies.

Sometimes, you might just enjoy a view of some beautiful, fluffy, white clouds.

Take a minute or thirty and just sit back and enjoy the ever changing view in the sky around you.

 

This week the theme for you capture at I Should Be Folding Laundry is Sky.  I am sure it will be awesome to see everyone’s sky pics.  Check it out when you have a spare moment.

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.
