Today was one of my better days. Spent yesterday with the boys and their child/children. Wanted to let them go to their in-laws today. Because of that I was able to do anything and everything I wanted to. Weeded, mowed and weed-wacked until I couldn't move another muscle. But the weather was perfect so I wanted to do as much as I could outside. The Hostas are starting to grow and the vines are beginning to loop around the arbor. I can't wait until they fill in and are blooming- may take a few years and hopefully we are still living here. I can't believe that I actually laid on the ground to take these pictures. I am beginning to feel like my dad!
As for the last couple of days, here are some rather mediocre shots.
Friday's assignment was to take a photo of a shadow. The sun was fleeting and when it peeked out for a couple of seconds I took this shot of my glider. Couldn't find anything else that gave off enough of a shadow.
The second was Saturday's assignment- take a photograph of the sky. Every time I wanted to stop driving to take a picture of the sky the landscape would change and I wouldn't get enough of the sky that I wanted. For the most part the sky was a gray and blah. Would have like a sunnier sky and if that wasn't possible at least a storm or two. The entire drive out to the far western suburbs is via interstate and no place to stop. When I finally got off of the interstate the horizon was no longer visible- hence I am aiming my camera straight up into the sky. But the entire time my head was spinning right to left looking for the best shot. This looks weird- as I aimed the camera would auto focus and refuse to release the shutter. Don't know why but this is the best I could do.
