Day #253 - Blue Skies!



After it poured this morning, it cleared out very nicely, which brought in bright blue skies! The sky makes for great contrast in this picture!!

Day #252 - Hidden


The new adventures have begun for me at college! Today I had the chance to get out and look at some of the neat buildings (after the rain stopped of course!). I love how the trees keep this building kind of hidden!

Day #251- Grasshopper

Found myself a "macro moment" late last evening. As we were eating on our deck, I looked over to see this little guy climbing up the side of our house. I've actually seen quite a few of them lately. Am guessing they can sense the coming of colder temperatures. When I pulled up the shots taken with my macro lens I could see details like spots on (what I believe to be) his eyeballs. I could also see tiny hairs on his legs. I think I'd be "creeped out" if grasshoppers were much larger, but at this size they're interesting!

Day #250- Chinese Lanterns

Lots of colorful options in my friend's perennial gardens! These make me think of fall.

Day #249- Crab Apples

Just about apple picking time. Wonder if these crab apples will be destined to become jelly?

Day #248- Daisy

While shooting perennials at my friend's house, I couldn't resist the chance to capture her good dog, Daisy.

Day #247- Hydrangea Sky

A cold front had just passed through when I shot this- brilliant blue sky!
