Things I Find Cool – Page 34 – Daffodil Hill Photography

One Grate Bridge

As I was traversing a wisp of a road came upon this one lane bridge. “Grate” I thought, not great, but grate because it was made of steel beams supporting metal grates. So this is one grate bridge!

A Couple Of Barns Of Differing Flavors

The above two barns are just that, barns, yet they very different. Both I assume are working barns but are set in very different settings. I find it very cool that people are still using and maintaining older wood barns. Most new barns are made of stick and tin and lack, in my opinion, the soul of the old wooden barns.

I see a lot of barns most days and some will not be with us long . So I am motivated take as many pictures of them as I can before they are gone.

A Few On The Fly

I took the above captures on the fly to create a little space on a very busy day.

Turquoise And Rust

I took this macro of a fence post with my Powershot G3. I was drawn to it because I love photographing rusty things but upon closer inspection I noticed there was more going on here.I love the way the green paint has faded to a nice turquoise patina as the rust adds flavor overall capture.

Seed Head

Dandelions are to many a nuisance. Yet others use them as an herbal medicine or for making wine. For me they are something else entirely. I simply like taking pictures of them. The composite yellow flower is beautiful in color and a great feeding station for early pollinators. I have several photos already this year with some type of bee getting loaded up on pollen and nectar. Then there is the seed head. That is when the Dandelion starts to look like Albert Einstein’s hair. There is never one seed head that looks like the other, sort of like snow flakes, well to me anyway. So here is a seed head I took on a walk this weekend.

I took this with my Canon Powershot SX260HS

An Old Rusty Nail

I have an old garage that hopefully will stand till I can afford my next old garage. Here is an old rusty nail helping hold up my garage.

Shameless Use Of Cuteness Part Tre’…

…or Part Trois or Part Three…. you get the point: I am shameless. Why? Well there seems to be some type of ballgame on here in the States that has everyone’s attention. So I think, what should I post to compete with that? Well here Is Dainty-Dot in all here regal and ” whatca-looking-at” glory!

A Piece Of Yesterday In B&W

Beauty Shines Through

Spring arrived blessedly early last year and I had hopes for the same this year. Well it was not to be as Winter hung on for an encore of sorts. The temps have been in the twenties, and a few times into the upper teens, at night and barley better during the day. Though the Daffodils showed up on time Spring did not. We have had a bit of snow and freezing rain since Springs scheduled arrival but the Daffodils have stood as vigilant vanguards the whole time.

I took several shots of the Dills on the Hill when the little sun we have had painted it in wondrous light. After downloading the pics I noticed the Daffodils were somewhat weather worn. I am now, and hopefully always, in awe on the strength of nature and the ways it finds to let its beauty shine through.
