Happy Friday! - First I want to thank everyone for their,
Concern and Get Well Wishes over the "eye issue" that I had earlier this week. I'm happy to say that my vision is almost totally back to normal!
Now Let's join Nancy (A Rural Journal) and Tanya (Around Roanoke) and Cath (Cath @ Home) for some Friday Randoms.
1. We had a hail storm yesterday! - The morning started out pretty decent but by afternoon it had clouded up. As I was sitting at the computer I heard a noise outside and looked out the window to see that hail was coming down. I grabbed up the camera and snapped a picture of the hail on the lawn.
2. I'm participating in
52 Frames and last week the theme was the "Golden Hour" - This is the photo I submitted. I just loved the lines, colors and textures in this shot of a farmers field. This week we are doing "Food" as the theme. I haven't yet figured out what I'm going to do for the challenge but I have an idea.
3. Coleen and I went out for a walk last night (the rain had stopped) and we took my mom's dog Pixie with us. Can you find her? No....well you'll have to wait until further down to find her. These people seriously need to mow!
4. On the walk I was looking at different trees and happened to see this limb on one of the trees and thought that the peeling bard and bumps on the top of the branch were really interesting. I hope you do as well.
5. One more photo from our trip last week to McNary Dam. These are scale models of Salmon. They are huge when you see them up close. We hope to go back in August when the Salmon should be returning up stream to spawn so we can actually see them in the viewing room.
WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE:
1. Spotted this cute little scene on our walk last night.
2. This was my (2nd choice) for the Golden Hour but I went with the one of the field. I still like the sunset here and how it is bathing the valley in golden light.
3. Where's Pixie?
Here she is!
4. We almost had another cat last night (We don't need anymore cats!!!)
This sweet little thing came out from some one's yard while we were on our walk and wouldn't stop following us. I ended up taking it back to the yard that it came out of, I tried knocking on their door but no one was home. The cat started to follow me again but finally gave up and moseyed back the other direction. Whew!
5. Redbud blooms. The trees here in town are spectacular this spring.
FUN FRIDAY FAVORITES:
Since this post is already so long I'm not going to include 5 more photos but I will share just one more Dogwood Photo with you as I simply love how this one turned out.
I told you the trees here were spectacular and I wasn't kidding.
These are all great meme's. I hope you'll check them out. Have a great weekend.
An impressive collection of pictures. I like the high grass-hidden animal on the leash picture the best.
ReplyDeleteA whole bunch of eye candy Ida.

Your golden hour photo is so gorgeous with all the lines and shadows and textures! And I love the peeking Pixie! My pink dogwood is finally going to bloom, but it's slow and the petals still look so dark. I hope someday my baby tree will look like the one in your photo. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat second photo is amazing! Such patterns and light! Just love it. Also loved golden hour ad the dogwoods...oh how I love dogwoods in the spring! That branch was so interesting and the peeping dog so cute. Great post!

ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend.
Wow ~ fantastic photos ~ all very creative ~ hard to pick a favorite ~
ReplyDeleteHad minor surgery this week so behind in commenting and not sure where I left off returning comments ~ ^_^
That first shot for golden hour was the better of the two I think. I did submit this week now that I have my member i.d.-mine is titled Bourbon Chicken.
ReplyDeleteThat cat is pretty and was just lonely since it is obvious she is well cared for. wow you sure do a lot of Friday memes!
The sunset shot is fantastic. But I love how you edited the meadow photo too. Poor little doggie is almost lost in that grass!!
ReplyDeleteAh, the poor kitty is probably lonesome if no one is home.

I love your 52 frames shot. Such interesting texture and lines. And your animal pics are adorable.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, especially the golden field. I also love the animals and the dogwood.
ReplyDeleteYour image for 52 frames is spectacular!! And the dogwoods, very beautiful. Mine will bloom in a day or two!!
ReplyDeleteThese are a lovely variety of shots. The tree limb caught my eye--interesting to see.
ReplyDeleteI am so envious of your dogwood trees. They look amazing.
ReplyDeleteI loved both of the golden hour photos: the one of the farmer's field looked really surreal - a work of art.
All the best, Bonny
The Golden Hour shot of the farmer's field is amazing!!! You live in such a beautiful place!I also love the one with the bark on the tree limb. Aren't trees something else!!!?
