Purple...

The challenge this week on Shutterboo's Flickr is "Purple". I found many purple things, it was hard to choose which shot to publish on the site. So I added my link for all things purple at my house. I must confess, I have a few more that I didn't have time to shoot... maybe next purple go round.

And the final one is the one I chose to post for the challenge:

Think Purple Thoughts!!

Almost Spring ...

We had a fleeting moment of Spring. I have one bush in bloom in our yard. I went out today to take a few pictures, before the wind blew off all the flowers. It was cold, gray, and very windy. Now it is sprinkling, with expected storms in the night - boo! I am so ready for spring.

 Also found a few Dandylions...

Please, Spring, come soon!!

MK Challenge ~ Blur

I love working with blur in photography. It brings such depth to a photo. I especially enjoy nature pics that have some bokeh or background blur.  There is a field in front of my work full of sage and sunflowers. They are all still brown, gray and blah. But kneeling down and getting a bit of the sky to blur in the background, makes even brush look a bit more interesting.
