Rainy Day

Last week I sat out on my porch and shot pictures as I watched the rain fall.  It was peaceful and relaxing.  I got some fun shots, sometimes shooting with a small aperture and a slow shutter speed while zooming.  Some are a little different, but I decided I like them. ; D

Signs of Spring

I am thoroughly delighted that spring is here.  Flowers are blooming, bees buzzing, birds singing, calves kicking and playing in pastures without a care in the world, and new life is just flourishing everywhere.  It's delightful and encouraging to observe all this after a gray and dull winter.   Here are some recent (mostly macro) pictures I've taken of the happy spring colors.  ; D

Noble Ben

I love how solemn and dignified this big guy looks (normally he's a complete baby). ; )  Plus the lighting is captivating.
