Sunflower seeds

Last summer we planted giant sunflower seeds. They were huge. We cut some of the flower heads off in the fall and had them on the deck and ground to make it easier for the birds to get to the seeds.

Pea flower


Our landlords planted a few fields by our house with a mixture of oats and peas. This is one of the flowers before it produced a pea pod.

Bisons


When the bisons want to cross the road, you let them cross the road.

Fish eye flower


While relaxing on the back porch at Angel Inn, I discovered that with my camera I could create a "fish eye" effect. So of course I had to play around with that!

Resting bison


It gets tiring having to pose for the tourists all day.

"You don't see me!"


While snapping pictures of our mums I noticed something green and it was not a leaf.

Character shoes

A friend loaned me her character shoes so I could do this picture for another graduating girl we know. I also borrowed the rose from a coworker whose husband had sent her some for their anniversary. This photo was a group effort.

Sarah's shoes

With the help of Sarah's mom, I was able to borrow a pair of Sarah's ballet shoes and create this photo as a graduation gift for her. I had a lot of fun playing around with this to get this shot.

I took a bunch of "rapid fire" shots to capture this photo.

Apple of my eye


We are blessed to have 11 apple trees in the back yard of the home we moved into last year.
