Day of Photos!! :)

Labor day (Monday) I had my camera with me all day and took several different pictures!! This day is not my usual day by the way, I tried to just take a day to get some pictures that I've been wanting.... though I think I will do it again someday, to hopefully get even better pictures. :) I was very grateful to God for giving me a Beautiful day to spend almost all day out in!!!!! :) It was fun and I hope you enjoy the pictures too!! :)

So, Here is the day in photos. :) From sunrise to after sunset at Barclay Ridge....

First I had to drag myself out of bed at 6 am!!!

I am more of a night/evening person, but it was nice to rise with the sun. :) Well, after tip-toeing out of the house with my dog (quite interesting, but was successful) I went and watched the sun rise!! :).....

and rise....

and rise....

I enjoy fields with rows! :) It's enjoyable to me to drive through the farm land and see the rows of crops!!

Flowers on the walk home

Love the morning sun. =)

A red tailed hawk that I tried a couple of times to capture, but he kept flying away. :) 

Sat near our bird feeder to try and capture some other birds, none came but this woodpecker. :)

Read the Bible

 Took some pictures of a few of the remaining flowers in my garden

I liked the sun effect in these two =)

 Took a hike through our woods

Tried to capture a few spider webs, this was the best one I could get that morning.

 Walked by my old fort/teepee.... looks like it needs some work. :) But it is seven years old

 These three trees always remind me of the book "Tale of Three Trees"

Sat in the forest for about thirty minutes just waiting for some deer to walk by. =)

Mom and her youngster...

I've been spotted. :)

Some more sites in our woods. :)

 A thistle. :)

Beautiful Day!!! Loved the clouds

 A trail

I don't know why but this part of our forest always reminds me of "Lord of the Rings". :)

 My Lunch- toasted ham and cheese!! YUM!!

 A walking stick on our porch

 An unhealthy but yet tasty snack. :)

My dog, wondering what I'm doing... =)

 Sat near our feeder in the afternoon and I got a few other birds. :)

 A male hummingbird guarding his feeder

 Loving this beautiful weather!! :)

 Some more birds

 Chickadee hiding in the trees

 Mourning dove

Took a bike ride.... Stopped to take some photos of the road side wild flowers

Butterflies

 Black-n-White edited flowers

Thistles by the side of the road

Barclay creek

 Took a joy ride in my brothers new car!!! =)

Our swing set :)

 The dogs waiting for their dinner

 The bird I've been trying to capture all day at our feeder/bath

 Sunset...... well really after the sun set.
Due to some family things I didn't get back outside in time to catch the sun going down.
But than, I've had several sunsets over the last few days. :)

 The Moon!! :)

So, I decide when midnight rolled around that I would try and capture the stars for you! :) They were very beautiful and I could see them really good that night!! So here are a few pictures.... :) I do believe that probably at least half of those "stars" are dust or something, unless my camera captured more stars than I could see. :) But I thought the picture looked neat anyway. =)

Well, that ends the day. :)

Hope you had a wonderful "Labor Day" :)

Hope you are also enjoying this beautiful weather,
and that you are having beautiful weather as we have the last few days!!! :)


Due to the length of this post, I think it has enough photos in it to make up for the next several days... so I won't be posting for probably the rest of the week. :) Hope yours is good!!

Sept. 6th's photo of the day....

This photo was taken several years ago, but I thought I would share it with you anyway. :)

Baby Deer

Day of photo's will be posted tomorrow. :) 

I took a lot of pictures, so I still need to go through them all. :-)

Sept. 5th Photos

I have seen the following photo idea several times and have really liked some of the photos I've seen of this idea, so I thought I would try and take one myself!! I hope you enjoy!! 

Loving God's Holy Word

I think I like either of these the best, just cause it doesn't show as much of the backdrop. I couldn't really find a backdrop I really liked, so I'm sure I'll do this photo again sometime with a different backdrop. :)
(what do you think?? any suggestions?)

 Faded (above)
Black-n-White (below:)

So, which one is your favorite?? :)
As you can tell, I really couldn't pick a favorite!!
I took many pictures and edited several, so I couldn't decide which one I like best. :)

 So, yes this is for Monday's photo's of the day, I just decided to post it today, for I hope to be taking pictures all day tomorrow for my 'day of photos'!! :)

2nd's Photos.... :)

Good-morning! Here's today's photos...... :)

 Morning Glories from my garden :) (I took this photo a couple of years ago)

Went on another bike ride last night! :) Here's the moon

 Do you see the bat?? I tried a couple of times to get a picture of him, but it was getting dark and he moved quickly! :) We have four bats that come out every night and eat our wonderful bugs. :)

Sunset from last night, looks almost just like the night before. :)

Goodbye August / Hello September!!

September as arrived!! :) Yes, I still hope to have my day of photos up soon, maybe Monday if it doesn't rain!! :) However I also hope to bring you a photo every day (except Sundays) this month!! :) No guarantees of that though. :) One never knows what a month might bring! But anyway, Here is today's photos, from yesterday (as probably most of the post's will go :), the last day of August...

 I took a quick hike through our woods. I was really looking for some deer trails (which I found many), for I hope to get some good pictures of some deer before the hunting season begins (which I believe is soon). :) So, hopefully I'll have some wildlife photos for you soon!!! :)

 Got to love spider webs when walking through a forest. :) 

They catch the "buzzing" insects so I don't mind them to much. :)

 

I also took a bike ride at Sunset...

 It was sooooooo humid!!!! Very hard to keep the lenses clean, I should of had my camera outside before I started, but didn't think that far. :( Oh well, they didn't turn out too bad, and this way for my day of photos I will think of it before hand... :)

 

 The moon as I rode home, though I didn't take the photo while riding. :)

The sunset was beautiful last night (in my opinion) 

I didn't even need to edited any of these, this is how it was!! :)

This one is my favorite!!! :) Which one was yours??
