Hello!

I started this blog to upload my own photos so that i could participate in other photo blogs to submit to. Life has gotten in the way, as it does sometimes.

I like taking photos of a lot of things I find interesting.. mostly flowers. I also have another blog "Phlower Power" to show off my flower photos.

The Photo Blogs I submit to are in the sidebar. I hope I've piqued your interest.

Thanks for stopping by........

Sunday Stills: The Color Brown

The days are getting longer and warmer, so more 'brown' spots are popping through the snow drifts...
Here are my submissions for 'Brown' for the Sunday Stills challenge.

We had a nice day last week up above freezing. It provided a chance to get out and walk around the woods on our farm.   It was pretty slow going, since the snow was still deep.

Sunday Stills: Barns in Black & White

It's Barns in black and white this week in Sunday Stills challenge..........

I happen to love taking photos of old barns and farms.  In fact their Latin proper name is  "Barnicus Dilapidus".
These started out in color and I've enhanced them to bring out their character.  I'm sorry I did not get a chance to get out and take recent photos, these are some archived photos from the past.  uh, no pun intended.





Go on over there at Sunday Stills. The group is growing leaps and bounds.
