Sunday Stills: Sepia or Black and White

This weeks challenge was sepia or black and white.  Here are my best shots!

Lupine and windmill balcak and white

One of my “wild” gardens near the house.  That is an old windmill frame in the distance. The cedar fence post is covered in lichens.

Sunday Stills: Birds and Bees

The Sunday Stills Challenge this week was Birds and Bees.

I found some bees…

Bee in the air Flying near the Lupine.

Bee on the Centaurea Montana Blue

Then one evening after a rain I caught this one with his wings folded over whilst he was sucking the nectar out of a Centaurea montana ‘Blue’ ( A perennial Bachelors Button). 

Since we got leaves on the trees the birds in the yard are harder to photograph.

Canada Geese

I did manage a photograph of some Canada Geese with their babies.  They are such good parents.

Have a good week everyone!

Summer officially starts this next week and the days get shorter.  Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there! :)

Sunday Stills: Yellow

The Sunday Stills Challenge this week was yellow.  Now yellow is one of my favorite flower colors.  But other than dandelions..and a water lily about to bloom..yellow was scarce this week.

I tried to catch the triple reflection in the watery ripples..this was my best shot.

My Grandson was fishing.

Sunday Stills: Potluck

Hello everyone!  I have really missed the Sunday Stills Challenges.  I am going to try harder to make time for them.  I am working almost full time, and my “fun” time is limited to late nights and early mornings.  Thanks goodness it is seasonal and come October 01 I will be footloose and fancy free again.  I accepted a position as Executive Director at a local Historical Museum.
