Sunday Stills: Potluck

This week's Sunday Stills was Potluck, meaning any subject as long as it's not archives. I have a new route to work due to construction season, and I pass by this corner. I've been wanting to try a picture of it for a bit, although the light isn't the greatest when I'm passing. This is my first attempt. It doesn't live up to the shot I have in  my head though, so I may have to try again.

Sunday Stills: Weeds & Grasses

We have enough of the Sunday Stills challenge this week: weeds and grasses. I spent a little time pulling out weeds this weekend, and this dandelion was one of the victims.



The fields of dandelions have been quite spectacular this year. I took Blake out last weekend just to have a little fun taking pictures with the dandelions. It was the middle of the day, so the light isn't the greatest but he had a good time picking up weeds, sticks and rocks and I had fun with my "model".

Sunday Stills: Looking high, looking low

The Sunday Stills challenge this week - looking high, looking low - let me have a little fun at the stable where Faith has her lessons. While Blake ran around picking dandelions and grabbing sticks to use as swords, I was crouching in the grass looking up with my lens. Here are my two favourite shots:

Sunday Stills: Rust

 I love taking pictures of old things, so this week's Sunday Stills, Rust, had me excited (sad but true) I picked up the camera on our way to Faith's horseback riding lesson and trolled around the farm a bit to find some suitable subjects. Here's what I came up with.

The tongue on a wagon - no idea what the numbers mean...

Sunday Stills: Wildflowers and flowers

It's been awhile for Sunday Stills - April is just a busy month for us, what with tax season and all. The challenge this week was wildflowers and flowers. Considering I woke up on Friday morning to snow on the ground, we haven't exactly had blooming weather around here this April.

But, when we were shopping for groceries, Faith picked out some lovely pink tulips for Easter weekend. So, I'm cheating a bit and posting a shot of those instead, with a little bit of a softening effect for some added "romance". :)

Sunday Stills: The Color Blue

When I saw the Sunday Stills challenge this week - The Color Blue - I knew it was easy for me because I look into gorgeous blue eyes every day.

Sunday Stills: Canine Companions

I'm back after a little break. Between weekend activities, and a virus that meant a complete rewrite of my harddrive, I've been a little lacking in my photo taking lately. This week's Sunday Stills, Canine Companions, is one I'll have to complete with some archive photos of our friends' dog, Finnegan (a sheltie). Finnegan is over a year old now, but here are some photos from his first months in his new home.

From last January, after Finnegan arrived -- nothing cuter than a puppy:
