Another Rusty Thing

Another set of photos from the archives, from my Dad's collection.

I have no idea what it was before it became rust.

Sunlight and Snow

I am happy that my gate faces the south, so I can see the sunlight coming through the snow which the gate has captured!!

Morning Glory

The morning glories are blooming in my archives this week.

I love the way the buds unfurl!

Shadows

The sunlight casts some interesting shadows

on this old wine jug...

Queen Anne's Lace in Winter

There was freezing rain the day before I went to visit my Mom. While I was waiting for the bus, I took some photos...

I will be linking this post with Today's Flowers. Other people likely don't have icicles...

Morning Glory

Back to the archives, for these morning glories catching the morning light.

Poppy

Goldenrod

Time for more flowers!!

This fall, I was noticing goldenrod galls.

They are made by some sort of fly, 

and there are wasps that prey on them, specifically.

Railroad Ties

My Mom now lives near the railroad, and I found this pile of ties last time I was visiting her. 

The similarities, and the sort of repeating pattern caught my eye.

They stank of creosote, though, so I did not stay long.

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...

Still Life

The weather has been gray and wet, so I have been playing indoors.

I figure the only way to learn to create still lifes

is to start taking the photos,

and see what I come up with. 

I would appreciate any positive comments you make!!

Icicles at Dawn

The icicles on the front of the house look so different in the early morning light!

I am sharing them with Friday Finds even if this is Monday...

Catch the Light

There is nothing like the sparkle of the first snows of the winter!

The way some of the snowflakes catch the light just so,

and the blue shadows....
