Random shots.

Just some random shots I have taken, some enhanced, some straight out of the camera.
The one below was lights going by at night. Since I recently have received a skin cancer diagnoses it this one strikes me at how fast time goes by. In the blink of an eye.

Our snow is leaving us, one drip at a time. I made this back and white except for the lead drip, nurturing the ground for spring flowers.

Just a couple of wall hangings I have hanging on the wall I played with.



this is after the drip hit the ground and then exploded outward. Straight out of the camera.



And the chickadee sat there singing its mating song which did my heart good. Spring is on the way.


Last but not least the little woodpecker checking out the suet ball.

I used to sell antiques and collectibles and one of the things I sold a lot of was old costume jewelry. Every once in awhile I would acquire one I couldn't part with. This is one of them. Not by a well now designer, but the clarity of the stones and the pure bling of the thing always brings me compliments. I could have sold in 100 times over but won't. You have to keep some of lives little pleasures.

community Photo Challenge.

Macro is Close-up Photography

In this Challenge we are looking for Close-up or Macro images.
It is capturing something, usually small, at a close range, & seeing things at a different viewpoint. You can use a macro lens, macro settings...or just get as close as you can, but make sure your subject is in focus.

My husbands grandmothers tiny silver sewing thimble. I love this old thimble. You can see the scratches put there by the needle from her sewing. This old thimble is over 100 years old. Made back when sewing was an important skill, something to take pride in.

Dried flower

I liked the sharp focus on the top but something about a softer focus on the flowers was appealing also.

Cute

I decide this photo needed one of those titles. Don't you think it looks like it need the Heimlich done. Maybe the peanut?
