Macro Monday: Zinnia and a Friend

My best macro shot this week for Sunday Stills Macro Monday:)

Sunday Stills : Sounds

I found the Sunday Stills Challenge of Sounds to be really difficult. I did capture this photo last spring..do you hear anything? :)

Wednesday Words : Sunbeams

I love the Sunflower fields! They are so cheerful..and yellow, my favorite flower color! Thanks Jen at Muddy Boot Dreams for Wednesday Words:)

Sunday Stills: The Open Road

The Sunday Stills Challenge was the open road. This is a country road in Minnesota, have a great Sunday everyone! :)

Wednesday Words: Emerson

I like Emerson..I also love the color of this petunia..it is a Misty Lilac Wave Petunia that has lost part of its Misty Lilac color, revealing the color it really wants to be. Thanks! Jen at Muddy Boot Dreams for Wednesday Words:)

Sunflowers

Sunflowers..just because I like them :)

Sunday Stills : Clouds

The Sunday Stills Challenge this week was clouds. These photos were taken on Sunday night August 09, 2009. We went up on the prairie and this was the view looking west at sunset.
This was the view across the road looking east, I loved the reflection of the sunset colors in the clouds. :)

Wednesday Words: Tagore

Wednesday Words..thanks to Jen at Muddy Boot Dreams for the inspiration! :)

Macro Monday: Cape Daisy

This is a Osteospermum or Cape Daisy or African Daisy. Check out other macros at Sunday Stills Macro Monday. I am back to flowers again.. :)

Sunday Stills : Five Elements

The Sunday Stills Challenge this week was The Five Elements. I believe them to be Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. Our neighbors had a very old house on their property, it was no longer inhabited and could not be safely remodeled or saved..so it was used as a "Control Burn" that taught many Fireman about fire and how fire behaves..for some young Fireman it was their first experience in a burning building.

There is water in that red line that the Fireman on the left are advancing with.. but only four elements are visible.

Finally a spray of water can be seen... all five elements in one photo. These photos were taken on May 23, 2009 :)

Wednesday Words: Nature

I seem to be stuck on Emerson, oh well..Thanks Muddy Boot Dreams for Wednesday Words:)

Macro Monday: Monarch Caterpillar

Monarch Caterpillar on Asclepias incarnata 'Ice Ballet' more commonly known as milkweed. The only food for the Monarch Butterfly larvae. Check out more macros at SS Macro Monday:)

Sunday Stills: Fences

The Sunday Stills Challenge this week was fences. We have a few of those around.
We have an old cedar split rail fence in our yard. Chance had company this week, our Grand-dog Miney was here all week while her family was on vacation without her. She and Chance are great friends, she is a Shetland Sheepdog or a Sheltie. She does not like posing for photographs as much as Chance, but we still had a wonderful two dog week!
The fence in one of the local cemeteries at Sunset on August 01, 2009. Have a great week everyone! :)
