The challenge this week was Cats. Cats are more difficult than dogs. Dogs will sit and stay and cats just do their own thing. I photographed the neighbors cat.
Her name is Sophie. She is the cat that welcomes you to the farm yard. She runs up and meows a few times and hisses at Chance and then she sits someplace and watches his every movement!

Sophie’s long whiskers.
The new camera is a bit frustrating at times. I am practicing every day. Have a good week everyone:)
The Sunday Stills Challenge this week was something bizarre.
Here is my best shot with the new camera.
It is my Dragon Fly thing-a–ma-bobber garden art..made from silverware. It balances perfectly on that spoon. It confuses the little Chickadees when they land on it and it moves.
Here is my best shot with the old camera..which I still love.
Echinacea purpurea ..half and half.
Have a good week everyone:)
The challenge this week was summertime.
I purchased a new camera this week. It is a Canon Rebel T4i. I would appreciate hearing from anyone that has this same camera. My daughter bought hers a few weeks ago..and I was impressed with her photos.
So today was Day One with the new camera. Here is summer!
The whole neighborhood went to the ballpark tonight. They play with soft balls because the little kids play too. This is Missy getting ready to pitch.
I am not so sure about the newfangled camera. Different lenses and lens caps and ISO and aperture.. I will have to practice a long time.
Have a good week everyone:)
Well there isn’t much happening here in the boonies..so sometimes we have to come up with our own Olympic Style Events!
The Sunday Stills Challenge this week was sports in honor of the Olympics.
Of course Chance wanted to be involved in a event..Which ball will the Border Collie play with next??
Then there is the wildly popular which goat can reach higher event!
Hey in my opinion watching Tennis as an Olympic event is about as boring as watching paint dry!
I am adding a not so great photo this week..kids and goats making their own games.
The poor goat looks headless..but you can see how happy the girls are! I should have taken more time getting the perfect shot..but the goat was so fast and the girls were running all over. Have a great week everyone:)
Thanks Ed and Linda for all the time you put into Sunday Stills! I am a better photographer because of everyone that participates in Sunday Stills. I have such a hectic life in the summer it is hard to post photos to the challenges..I will try harder!
The last challenge from Ed was Fade to Black.
Well who better to fade to black than Chance.
Chance at Bass Lake, Becker County Minnesota. Have a good week everyone:)
The challenge this week was to go into the archives for a winter photo to cool us off!
I have a few..mostly frosty looking ones as last winter we did not have much snow.

A local country road.
A barn just down the road.
It has cooled off some here in Minnesota. We have gotten some badly needed rain in the past week. Have a great week everyone!
The challenge this week was roads.
I finally got a photo this evening July 1 2012. This is about 1 1/2 miles from our home. Have a good week everyone:)
