Sunday Stills: Weather or Not

This week the Sunday Stills Challenge was weather.

We had a dreary week in Minnesota.

Straight Lake at the Millpond.  Far Guy drove slow and I took this out the window.  There is no safe place to stop for this view.

More fog on the lake on Friday March 23.

The ice went out on the lake on March 24.  This is the  north end of the lake. Three miles from where the first photo was taken.  Yes that is green grass..unbelievable for March!

Some clouds, and a view of the back driveway  :)

Sunday Stills Macro: Putzer

The neighbors got a new puppy.  He is an Australian Shepherd.  His name is Putzer.

He smells just like a new puppy.  Chance met him and proceeded to ignore him.  Check out more macros here:)

Sunday Stills: Transitions

The challenge this week was transitions.

Minnesota is going from winter straight into summer with temperatures in the 60’s and 70’s almost unheard of for March.

One of my favorite places is Shell Lake.  The ice is melting there.

Quite by accident when I was out and about on Saturday there was some fog happening at Long Lake.

This is called advection fog.  It is the horizontal movement of warm moist air over a cold surface.  I thought it was way cool.

I even caught the Canada Geese in transition..one in the water and one on the ice. Have a great week everyone:)

Sunday Stills: A Small Part of a Whole

The challenge this week was to take a photo of something and then take a photo of a smaller part of the whole.

Here is my attempt.

 

 

The Trumpeter Swans are feed daily by a kind old gentleman in town.  The swift current coming out of the lake keeps the river open all winter.  Have a good week everyone:)

Sunday Stills: Textures

The challenge this week was to find some textures.


My daughter Jen likes all different kinds of textures.

All these textures show up in her bathroom.


They live in an old Craftsman four square style home with very high ceilings and are redoing the entire home room by room. This bathroom is a favorite of mine.  One of the squares ( living room, kitchen, dining room and parlor) ..the parlor part became this bathroom with a shower just off the kitchen and a computer room became accessible from the living room.  You can no longer walk from room to room and make one big circle downstairs. Oh yes and they have done all of the restoration work themselves, the oak moldings were all custom designed and made by my son in law.
Have a good week everyone:)

Sunday Stills: From the heart

This weeks Sunday Stills Challenge was to be from the heart.

I don’t know if you have ever noticed..but Chance has a heart.

This is an old photo from 2008.  He had just been groomed!

I took this photo January 06, 2012.

It was a rotten week ..however Chance is a patient model and last night we got a few photos.

I think this may be his best side!  He is a dog with a big heart who loves everyone he meets, my husband and I Heart him very much:)
