Grain Elevator

These tall giants are getting far and few between. 

There are many of these elevators being torn down.It's a fast changing world......
I enjoyed working on this photo in my HDR program I got for christmas last year. 

Autumn Colors

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, it's kinda hard to stick with somethings during the summer when there are so many other things to do while the weather is nice.

Life on the Prairies

Life on the Prairies is full of surprises, ...you never know what's going to pop up!

Next time you find yourself going for a stroll, really look at the things around you.

Sometimes we take our surroundings for granted. We don't always see what is right in front of us all along. Like in everything in life, try looking and searching for the beauty in the things and also the people that surround you. 

 

 

 

 

 

"Salsify"

This is called "Salsify" it is classed as a wild herb. It has also been called other names like Goatsbeard, Oyster Plant, Vegetable Oyster, Purple Oyster Plant, Yellow Salsify, & Meadow Salsify. Salsify has a single headed blossom, mainly composed of a large yellow or purple wheel of ray flowers. Large, white, round seed heads (about 2-3 in in diameter) develop when these flowers mature, usually during August. These images were taken July 11/2011.

Birds, Bees & My Apple Tree

On Sunday, it was a beautiful sunny day, and I had a wonderful surprise when 

I went out side. There was approximately a dozen Cedar Waxwings had flown away from my apple tree, because I had startled them. 

After a few minutes these cute little birds returned and proceeded to eat the blooms off the tree.   I could also see and hear the bees, buzzing around the blooms, they too where also enjoying the flowers on the apple tree.

I had a great time capturing these images. 

What magnificent creatures God has created.

Crocuses standing tall

The crocuses had a chance to grow tall this year. They didn't get hit by a dump of snow or frost, shortly after they have popped up out of the ground. This has happened a few times in the last few years.
Wow,... I had such a blast today photographing them.
As you can see there were so many good ones to choose from,
it was hard to narrow it down anymore than this. Hope you enjoy them too  :)
