Sunday Stills - Winter Wonderland

Sunday Stills is an opportunity for Bloggers to hone their photography skills. Each week Ed issues a challenge for fellow bloggers. On occasion I have participated in Ed's Sunday Stills, but my point and shoot camera just doesn't do what I want it to do, I got frustrated with the end result and I gave up on the challenges. However, since we have had an incredibly hot spring and early summer, I just couldn't resist participating in Ed's challenge for this week. We were to search our archives and find some pictures of winters past to help cool us off. So here are some pictures of Winter Wonderland - I wonder why they look so inviting now? Here are a few of my favorites:

Waves frozen in time...

Icicles blown sideways...

Horses frolicking*...

Galloping out to pasture...

Warming in the morning light...

* I felt so luck to catch Pippin and Doc at the perfect moment. Sadly, there was an electric fence running just in front of them. Carson, at 7MSN, held a contest in 2010 (I think) a long time ago, and the prize was fixing a photo. This was the end result. It has always been one of my favorite photos.

Sunday Stills: Spring Preview

We had some warm weather and sunshine today. A welcome break from winter. But even so, things are a bit dull - with very little color.  The Sunday Stills Challenge was to dig into our archives for some color from previous springs and summers to warm us up a bit. I feel better already! How about you?!

Could spring be this close?

Here are some shots from our trip to France in May, 2010. 

I wouldn't mind being behind the camera for any of these shots at this very moment!

Sunday Stills: Barns

I love old barns. I love to imagine the stories they could tell. Sadly, I could not get out to get pictures of some of the great barns near us, so this Sunday Stills will feature our barn, through the seasons.

Hmmm, it's hard to tell one season from another, eh?!
