Daffodil Hill Photography

These are a couple of pics of the blooms of life on the place: Apple tree blooms and I’m not sure but fleabane maybe. Enjoy!

The daffodils on the hill are alive and singing “Do not fear, for Spring is near!” And as the seasons are a changing I am trying to get out and about. The goal is to seek out places to photograph as the green things start to bloom. It has been a bit since I have done that and it fells good to do so. Enjoy and embrace the day folks!

The bird feeder on the place is a place where all are welcome. Ever once in awhile a few drop by as they migrate to their summer breeding grounds and such. Three of these lovely birds stopped by over the weekend to fuel up and then they headed on down the road. I am not sure what they are but I am glad when they stop as they are passing through!

A few weeks back we had a severe storm pass through our area. The next morning I noticed some branches on one of the trees had been striped bare on the top side. Having never seen a tree up close that had been struck by lightning I could only guess that was what had happen. Several days ago we had a gusty, and at times high-winds, kind of day. While walking the Boyz (That is what I call my dogs) I found this branch laying across our little potty-circuit and picked it up.

To my astonishment it was more like picking up a feather than a branch. Looking at the branch I was amazed how barren and smooth the top half was where the lighting embraced it but the bottom length was left untouched. Then I inspected the branch and discovered this: the path that the lighting took to reach the earth. As a lover of Nature and all the cool stuff it does I am glad I was not a tree that day of the storm.
