Geez, the weekend has already seemed to have gotten away from me! I meant to post these lovelies yesterday, instead I got to spend a glorious day with Gloria and T. Nothing is a better than losing yourself – and time – surrounded by your two favorite people. We played Scrabble, ate pizza, watched movies, painted our nails (not T of course) and just reveled in each others company. It was an excellent Saturday!
So on to the photos! T and I took a very long walk in one of the parks around town, my Canon and I hindering our process of calling real exercise despite the 5 miles under our belts. It was so relaxing, very reminiscent of the cabin in the woods, and I came home with loads of photos. I hope you enjoy!
Hello Babies!
Who doesn’t love a little fuzzy baby ducky? I am trying something new here today – if you cannot tell. I have admittedly admitted that I am not a talented photographer, but I do know what I am doing with messing around with saturation and hues. So showing completely unedited photographs is a bit….terrifying. If I have learned anything in the past few weeks, it’s that the community that I write for won’t mind – if anything I am going to get some very constructive feedback.
The Heron.
Okay, I got a little (a lot) carried away taking pictures of the Heron – but he is so pretty! The edited photo at the top really brought out his natural coloring, the rest of the photos seem a bit dull in comparison. However I promised myself to show the good and the not so good here today.
The Water Tower.
I only took one photo, so edited it is!
Bird in Flight. I love how confused the other bird looks.
I love the bird feeder, I know it is not from the park but I could not resist sharing!
Manly Duck…Just Relaxing.
Running at our approach.
The male ducks stayed together, never even approaching the females or the babies. I thought it was odd. Men, can’t live with them – can never try to understand what they’re thinking.
Fuzzy Focus. I like how it turned out.
I really like the ducks in the background with the plant leaves in focus. It seemed to be a very happy accident.
Both of these are edited, but not as much as you would think. The only think I did was to sharpen the focus and put a frame on it. All the rest of it was me remembering how to properly use my camera. It will take time and my hands will shake, but I will love every moment of it!
Look Who I Found Again!
I’ve probably overloaded you with photos today. I really hope you enjoyed them!
This week my blogging plans are as follows:
- No Page Left Unturned (the library shelves project I need to get on)
- Stitch Pattern a Week (cannot forget GG and her antics)
- My Parents 30th Wedding Anniversary Plans (part rant – part brainstorming)
- Finishing the Header section with all the Stitch Patterns to date, just so you don’t have to go searching for patterns!
- WIPs and FOs
- More Photos (of course more photos!)
Have a wonderful Father’s Day friends and neighbors and I look forward to hearing from all of you again ASAP!
