The Weekend in Black and White: A monochrome morning

2012-01-27T05:40:00.002-05:00

The first shot is for the weekend in black and white and the second shows it wasn't as monochrome of a morning as I thought.

I was surprised when I zoomed in that several of the birds in the tree above were male cardinals wearing their red finery.

SkyWatch Friday: Moving too fast

2012-01-26T06:37:00.002-05:00

A few trees are moving too fast towards spring due to the crazy weather.

Although most of the trees are naked, I do worry about ones that are starting to look to spring.

I am enjoying the variety of sky shooting opportunities.

It seems like it's always gray until I glance at my weekly sky photos and realize there is a lot of blue in between the storms.

The Dogwood may not do very well this spring because I've noticed a lot of the tips of the branches have been broken off.

I think I prefer the bare branches of winter to almost any of the tree cycles.

I like how the light can bronze the branches like the shot below.

I am missing snow this winter. I don't want an extreme storm but I enjoy a pretty snow.

I feel like I'm saying the same things each week when I post my sky shots but that's because there isn't much new going on.

I keep shooting the hodgepodge sky and wonder about the bizarre weather.

I am starting to bore myself although I don't find the sky boring.

I run out of things to say so perhaps I should just post one shot and not try to write in between shots.

Maybe I'll try that next week.

ABC Wednesday: B is for Bunny

2012-01-24T04:27:00.001-05:00

Big boisterous bunnies bound across my yard in the summer.

Bunnies like weeds better than cultivated plants in my experience.

Bashful bunny freezes when scary human points her black camera at him.

It is funny how sometimes bunnies in my garden will almost seem to avoid the flowers.

I was serious about them preferring weeds. Even when I grew carrots and lettuce, the bunnies would munch down on weeds and ignore the vegetables.
