Daffodil Hill Photography

Spring, Is That Really You?

The temperatures here, since Springs official arrival, have been staying in the high thirties to low forties during the day. The low twenties are not uncommon at night. Though they have dipped into the teens a time or two just for good measure. As mentioned before the Sun has spent very little time in my corner of the world this winter. It has been the same this Spring as well but today must have been worthy of its presence. I for one am glad.

Here is a few photos from the Hill I took before the Sun went about its daily, or nightly, rounds. Enjoy!

I used my Powershot SX10is in both of the above captures.

Testing One, Two, Three

I cannot explain why but I love taking pictures of this type of microphone. I for one do not sing well so I have know idea why I photograph this type of mic every chance I get. Some things I guess are a mystery but I suspect it is because I think it just looks cool. Enjoy!

Slow Down In A Small Town

This small town, not far were I live, is a roll-up-the-side-walks-at-dark kind of place.The pace is slow and the people are very nice. It is a postcard of a gentler time and place. When I go there it always makes me think of how busy my life is in comparison to days past. So when things speed up I sometime will come here to slow down in a small town.

I used my Coolpix 5600 in for this capture. — I used my Coolpix 5600 for this capture.

The Boy and A New Friend

The Bride,The Boy and I had a great time with my Dad, and his dogs, on this Almost-Spring Spring day. We got a few things done around Dads’ place and the dogs got to do what dogs do: Play and sleep. I took several shots of his dogs and of The Boy. Here is one of The Boy and a new friend.

A Beautiful Bronze Aqua Dispensing Device

I was having a hard time coming up with a name for the post. After examining the picture I decided to call it what it was: A Beautiful Bronze Aqua Dispensing Device!

I See You

The sun made a much appreciated cameo yesterday. I tried to take advantage of it when I saw this beautiful feline sunning itself. I quickly grabbed my camera but she spotted me and hid behind the bucket to the left in the picture. With some cat cooing, and a bit of luck, she decided to check me out. With that said she gave me this look, as to remind me, that she was not fooled but simple humoring me. It was as if to say “I see you”. I am good with that.

“Welcome Home Our Brother” Says The Trees

Have you ever taken a shot for one reason but once you study it you see it for something entirely different? I saw this old house and thought what stories could this house tell if could only do so. What I saw after I downloaded it was something quite different. As I scrutinized my capture I noticed the trees and vines around the house and how them seemed to embrace it. It appeared as if the trees were reclaiming one of their own: “Welcome Home Our Brother” Says the trees.

Vanguards Of The Past

I am once again forced to look at old captures to post since Spring, and its’ many flavors of colorful things, is late getting to the party. I found this shot from about this time last year. It is as if new life, represented by the flower bed, is out front leading you to the old like vanguards to the past.

Summer Home On Hiatus

I looked at this bird house and wondered if it too was waiting for the return of Summer. Was it like myself waiting for the return of the familiar and the joy of new life. I wonder as well as this Summer home on hiatus.

SONY DSC — I took this with my new-to-me Sony A300.

An Average Capture But I Like It!

I took this yesterday when the sun was out but opposite of this photo op. I took this shot, with my Minolta DiMage S414, of Daffodils growing by my truck’s tire. An average capture but I like it!
