Bottle and Asters

We have sun today, so I was working in that,

but still with still life.

This series is an old medicine bottle, and a few aster seed heads.

And the sunlight and shadows, of course.

Please let me know what you think...

Zinnias and Shadows

I noticed the shadow of the zinnias on the fence, and decided to take a series of images...

Catch the Light

I love the way the sun comes through the leaves,

casting shadows...

Friday's Fences

It's been a while since I have ventured so far from the houses - there has been a coyote approaching people with dogs on the other side of the river. But he has not been seen in a couple of weeks, so we headed out for a good long walk today.

 The crust on the snow could hold my weight most of the time, so it was easy walking.

 I captured fences, and shadows of fences to show you.

To see more fences, visit Jan and Jer.

Bindweed and Queen Anne's Lace

Bindweed is a relative of the morning glory,

 but grows in the fields and fouls the machines.

 I love the shadows the Queen Anne's lace casts on the bindweed.

Flowering Crabapple Tree

Most of the flowers are spent,

but the sun streaming through the leaves is magical.

I especially like the shadow this former flower

casts against the leaf.

Peonies and Their Shadows

These are definitely peonies.

They are growing on the south side of the house, where they get the extra warmth from the sun. They are a couple of weeks ahead of the ones further away.

Sun on Water

We have been having above normal temperatures, and last week, the sun even shone for a few days. The whole landscape changes when the sun comes out.
