Ho-hum, another flower photo.  'Tis the season.

Photos taken this morning.

This photo was taken yesterday.  If it doesn't look quite realistic its because the colors and contrast were edited a bit.


This morning I googled my blog's name.  One of the links that came up was this one leading to a post I wrote way back in the summer of 2007.  It reminded me of the reason I had started blogging in the first place, to have an opportunity to do some writing.  Later on, I discovered the fun and ease of taking digital photos and putting them on the blog.  Obviously, that has taken over.  I guess it doesn't matter---one can put whatever they want on a blog.  Maybe someday I'll decide to write again.

Another chance to take drive-by photos happened the other day.  
I did some adjusting of the temperature, hue, and saturation 
of the colors in this first one...


Dramatic clouds were in view for awhile...


And, this shot received a painting effect just for fun...

Believe it or not, this is an alfalfa blossom...

I had a chance to shoot some drive-by photos yesterday, mostly of random trees and farm fields.  To this one I added a chromatic effect, whatever that is, resulting in it looking like this which I rather liked...

Its always a hoot to see a cat who appears 
to be trying to hide behind blades of grass.

Once in a great while I manage to get a clear shot of a swallowtail butterfly and usually it is one that is missing part of its tail.

This morning I rode along with my husband to a farm machinery store.  Along the way I snapped drive-by shots of many patches of wild phlox.  Most of the photos were very blurry, but this one seemed good enough to put on the blog.
