Nature – Page 26 – Daffodil Hill Photography

I was having a bit of a “what to post” challenge this morning. So I dialed up the Reader and found much to be inspired by and became more challenged (I know some of you think I am challenged, period).Since it is raining and gray I found a post filled with color and decided I would post a little color as well. In the spirit of “On Dragonfly Wings with Buttercup Tea” Monday Mellow Yellow and Mandarin Orange Monday here is a little Monday Orange and Yellow.

Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge – Loneliness

I am once again trying my hand at Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge. Here is my contribution this week and the original photo I took is is below it.

Early Morning Dew Star

I know there is not such a thing as a Dew Star but there should be. As I walked about searching for a picture/pictures to use in this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual POV , the suns rays dancing of the morning dew keep catching my eye.

Here is the best of a dozen or so attempts at catching an Early Morning Dew Star.

“Thistle Me This” Says The Bee

Out My Office Window The Weekend Past

The mornings were unusually and delightfully cool this weekend past. As I drank my first Cup-of-Joe, sitting on the front porch, I watched the coming and goings of the Hummingbirds who have blessed our place this year. With the hot caffeinated brew, and the rising sun, warming me bones I formulated a plan and set about trying to get a few good-to-great captures of them.

I found a good spot close to some Jewelweed they seemed to like and nestled in with some fauna between it and me for cover

I would ease up and snap a shot or two but found the speed of the Hummingbird to be more than me and my Canon point & shot was able to come to grasp with.

Since I could not get the captures I wanted I could not help feeling blessed none the less. I was enjoying the beautiful blue sky and the whimsical cirrus clouds so life was great.

As I was setting there enjoying the day and the inner play of the Hummingbirds I saw that one keep going to this tree. Can you find it?

I was able to get several shots of this little poser. I hope you enjoy this lovely as much as I did and do!

Almost Missed It

I was walking down the path to the creek on our place and snagged my shirt on blackberry bramble. As I went to push it the part that snagged me out the way something out-of-place caught me eye. I had to go around the bramble a little to get a good look at what it was. I am glad i did because I almost missed it!
