From a lot of nothing to a little bit of everything
Lens-Artist Photo Challenge #143: Colorful April The Irises are blooming! This is not from this year though. It's called Badlands. I call it spectacular! Dandelions are taking over our yard. This one is almost perfect though. Another Iris that is mind boggling. It's called Team Spirit. How do they get those orange beards on a... Continue Reading →
Lens-Artist Photo Challenge #142: You Pick It Ah! We pick the topic for this one! I think I'll go with the phenomenal sun halo we saw last year in June. It was an amazing sight that got even better with the clouds. According to earthsky.org "Halos around the sun or moon are caused by high,... Continue Reading →

In an ice storm, everything looks like silver or crystal. Trees sparkle, the ice sparkles and a cloudy sky gives a silver tone to everything. An example of what... Continue Reading →
Cee's Midweek Madness Challenge: Close-up or Macro I love a good macro. I believe Cee said something about not using flowers or insects. I get it, no worries, but it puts a crimp in my macro options. Thankfully there's an option for close-ups, which is different from macro (in my humble opinion). So I've gone... Continue Reading →
L-A C #125- You Pick It This week for the Lens-Artist Challenge we pick our own topic. Tina used Wabi-Sabi for her topic which I thought was great. Quoted from Tina's post: "Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese concept that recognizes beauty in the imperfections of life and the natural cycle of growth and decay." I didn't... Continue Reading →
Lens-Artist Challenge #103- Surprise It was a pleasant surprise when a cactus I rescued presented me with these flowers. It was a thrill and surprise when the great Denali revealed itself. It had been completely hidden by clouds the days before. A Christmas light throwing 3D rays in the fog. This sunset. A picnic table... Continue Reading →
The Photo a Week Challenge is: Squirrel. These are all of the same squirrel who was entertaining us while we ate lunch. He decided to stop and pose for me.
Cee's Fun Foto Challenge- Anything Painted This was a fun one but hard to pick just a few photos. Let's start out with this beautiful street rod in a color shifting paint: It's fantastic! What's a street rod show without a few flames? Amazing paint job! A little work of my own: an acrylic pour... Continue Reading →
