WordPress Photo Challenge: Force of Nature

 

cropped Katie May 8 2015

Dandelions, those pretty little yellow flowers that so many people work so hard to eradicate from their golf course inspired yards, are incessant forces of nature.  Turn your back on them for one moment and they spring back to beautiful life.

And Katie-girl, a force of nature in her own stubborn, hyper, crazy, joyous way.

The combination is beautiful.

You can see all the other interpretations of forces of nature at the original post.  Or catch a few of my favorites here, here and here.  Each is a totally different take on the concept.

I love these challenges because you see wonderful things from all over the world.  Enjoy.

Lonely chickens

We’ve been taking care of our neighbors’ chickens for the past couple of weeks.  Well.  I have only been up there a couple of times; husband has head egg collection duty.

But I went up last weekend and as I approached their space they commenced to clucking and racing around, coming up to whatever side of the pen I was on.   I think they miss their people.  Husband says no – they’re just excited to get fed.

Whatcha doing out there?

Which could also be true.

But I prefer to think they enjoyed my company while I was there.  I talked to them and took their pictures.  I thought they were quite beautiful.

So are their eggs.

Yum

WordPress Photo Challenge: Intricate

As usual I had lots of ideas, places to go, things to look at.  And then I decided to stay at home and enjoy this beautiful weather in my own yard.

You can see all the interpretations of Intricate at the original post, or check out a few of my favorites here, here and here.

This is a really interesting topic and one I’d like to explore further.  We’ll see if I find anything more.  Might be later this summer.  Or winter.  Or sometime.  Meanwhile look around in your own life.  What do you notice, what’s beautiful because of it’s intricacies?

WordPress photo challenge: Early Bird

This photo challenge was supposed to be about getting out at dawn and finding something spectacular to photograph, something that glows in the early light or floats magically in early fog.

That’s all well and good, but in our household Early Bird can only mean one thing.

I love mornings mama!

I love mornings mama!

Here she is after this morning’s walk through dew covered grass, sitting in the morning glow.  Yep, she’s the one responsible for me catching many beautiful early morning shots.

What does Early Bird mean to you and your family?  Share a photo or two of your world as the sun comes up.

You can see all the posted responses that have come in so far here at the original post.  Or check out a few of my favorites here, here and here.

Mornings.  Gotta love my early bird Katie-girl.

OK.  I have to stop now.  But this one made me giggle.
