Wordless Wednesday (almost)

My husband gave me a new camera for Valentines day this year. When he took his photography class for school, I lived vicariously through him. I enjoy the opportunity to exercise the “other side” of my brain sometimes, and taking pictures is a way for me to do that. It’s not something that is ever going to make money, but it’s something I enjoy and that is worth something. This week when I was playing outside with the kids, I was experimenting with showing depth in my photos. Below are some of the fruits of the day.

This is the spot where our garden will be later this spring.

I really like the texture in this picture.

The Aspen trees in front of our house are starting to bud.

I thought this was really fun to take, from the under-side of the tree.

Aspen bark is so fascinating to me. It shows the scars of even the smallest damage for years. Much like the heart I think.

These railroad ties line the front part of the rocks in front of our house.

I was having a delightful time shooting these and then...

A baby crawled into the shot. It certainly ads a different perspective don't you think?

I looked and looked for something green coming up in the world of brown. This weed was the only thing I could see with color. I didn't even pull it.

Perhaps my favorite photo subjects.

    1. Thanks! I try to remember to bring mine with me too, although there are times I’m really thankful my cell phone has a camera. 🙂

  4. I absolutely LOVE the picture of the baby crawling on the railroad ties. My husband is coming back from a super long TDY this Friday and I’m going to start laying it on thick how much I want a nice camera. I’m like you, I just enjoy doing it 🙂 These are some GREAT photos 🙂

    1. Thank you! I would really like to take a photography class someday. For now though, I just enjoy learning on my own. My husband wasn’t sure about the camera but now that we have it, he’s said several times he’s glad we got it.
