Today was beautiful outside. Beyond beautiful. The first gorgeous spring day after days and days of rain. And the trees are really starting to bloom, including these behind our house. The buds on these trees have a slight pink tinge to them, so I wanted to capture the blue sky, pinkish tree buds, and the beautiful day.

While I still didn't feel well today, I did manage to take some photos from my window at home. I had a few frustrations with getting a clear shot with the telephoto lens, even with using a tripod. Obviously the problem was my shutter speed, and I think the base of my tripod wasn't wide enough to provide enough stability when the mirror flipped in the camera. I could have used a higher ISO and a faster shutter speed, but I didn't want too much noise in the image. Luckily, I got it to work!

Since the sun was finally shining today, I went for a brief walk after work today around the golf course behind our house. There were some beautiful clouds that made for some pretty views, and enhancing the color saturation for this photo helped the pretty colors in the sky pop a little bit more. Looking forward to when there will be leaves on the trees in a few months!

28-135mm lens @ 127mm, f/13, 1/50 +1, ISO 200I've always been one who loves all the seasons. I like the variety and the fact that you always have something to look forward to. Right about now, I am soooo looking forward to spring. I'm loving all the snow we've been having, but I'm starting to long for the vibrant colors and greenery that comes with the start of spring. I'm getting a little bored of feeling like all I have are monochromatic-like scenes in front of me to photograph - white snow, brown trees, black pavement. So while I was editing today's image, I started playing around with those "hue" and "color" and "saturation" options in Paint Shop... and my yellowish bush turned into a beautiful, vibrant red! Yea for color! While I do have a goal of doing less post-processing with my photos, I couldn't help myself this time. And I have to admit, I love the result!

We got more snow today, and both my husband and I had off of work and were stuck indoors because of the blizzard-like conditions outside. I tried lots of different snow-related shots today and ended up with this snow-on-the-windowsill shot as the day's winner. Hopefully tomorrow's shot will be unrelated to the weather!

I knew there was snow coming last night, so I knew I would be out in my yard first thing in the morning to take photos before the pristine snowfall was compromised and before heading to work. I took a few different photos and liked a number of them, but I think this one was still my favorite. This is the 18th hole of the golf course behind our house - covered with snow and fog. The image has such a mystical feel... I love it. If you want to check out the other photos I took, jump on over to my regular blog "Experimenting with Life".

It's been super cold here the past week or two, so all the puddles of water near our house have frozen over. These kids were skating over the ponds and took quite a few spills on the ice! I wasn't able to get a good picture of them in motion, but I really like the striking contrast of this kid's red jacket in the bleak winter forest...
