Tulips...

only red...gotta love this colour select thingy!!!

James took it, I suggested the composition etc.... He was playing with mum's camera as much as me...

George

and a host of lovely golden daffodils.

This is George, a blue spruce, planted in memory of my Opa from 2004.

Tiny bit o Blue

teddy... chair... afghan... nuff said... lol

Blue...

wow....centered in on one very blue anthology book in my parents bookcases, and there's a number of other's that have the same blue too, but not too many....

Passle of Panda's, and a Polar Bear

How many panda's do you see?? And one Polar Bear?!! lol

The littlest, oldest panda is my Oma's. He's travelled with her for a great number of years (I'll have to ask mum again, how many years)...

Many of the others mum has made herself.

One of her many hobbies.

Lone Ursa

One of mum's teddy's that she's made. Sits in the living room, with a lot of her other bears too.

This is with mum's Canon on the colour select for red. No flash though....just daylight coming in from the east windows (and its mid afternoon, so not sunlight)

Sunkissed....

This blue jay was heartily yanking peanuts out of the feeder. (and I mean yanking, I watched as he twisted and pulled them thru the holes).

The sun peeked out just long enough to make an impression on him (well, ok on me on him)

And, with my dad's camera...thru glass (yes, I know that's a nono..but in this spot, its the only thing you can do)

Dad's camera is Sony DSC-H2 with 12x optical zoommmmmmmm....

OOooooohhh!!!!

Oriole!!! He's sooooo pretty!

Thank you dad, for the loan of your camera (12x optical zoom) taken out the patio door ( door open, no glass), just behind my parents house. It's highway central for birds back there, what with bush close, and more than half dozen feeders of various kinds.

Happy Mother's Day!

Whew!

I think that might do it tonight...lots of new stuff...
mostly, just cause I've been going stir crazy without a camera, since mine calved a couple weeks ago.
Now, got new gear...still a point and shoot, (I'm really really partial to the Lumix!, Panasonic Lumix DMC FX-500) but lots of new stuff for me to try, along the lines of the DSLR in some ways...so that's all good.
and mum, went back to town on Sunday, and bought my 2nd choice too...for her mind you.
Canon PowerShot SD 880 IS.
so...got two camera's to play with now (I can borrow mum's anytime)....and I'm back in business! (so to speak)...lol
enjoy...
I kinda over did it below, there's a few ...too many?
heheheheh
I'm just so thrilled to be back in the game.
cheers!

Sunset Looking East...all green

this one I took with mum's new camera, set on green only. There's another further down with the colour that mother nature allowed...and no tweaking.

Duck on a Rock??

Nope, this isn't that picture. This is Rock on a Fence. Spotted this with mum's new canon set on the colour isolation feature (whatever its' called...lol)

bits of green..that's it.

oh to be young again....

I remember doing this as a kid...watching the water flow...some culverts are bigger than others. This one is only about 18 or 20" across?

anways...we found out it takes approximately 6 seconds for a leaf, once dropped, to make it thru to the other side of the road.

kewl!

lol

Grey/Green

Well, not quite grey, but close...
the fields are so bare right now.

Sometimes...

... help is an inspiration~!

This is my daughter Morgan, checking things out with her camera....while mummy is busy checking out the view with her new camera too~!

grey grey day...the fields are so stark

the green just livid!

and she pops too in that red and blue.

hope you like?!

I do.

End of Day

walking backwards thru the field, to get that sun back up in the right spot...careful not to trip on the long grass down all around you...

ok...

yep...

there

good.

k, I do like that.

My Creek

um....ya.... I think the mature Red wing Blackbirds will have something to say about that??

But til they come along and chase you away you silly juvenile...

thanks for posing.

in..out...

focus on the close one, far one out...

mmmm....

loving my new camera!

macro...on a breezy day...(without a tripod)

NO PROBLEM!!!!

Green road

down the side of the road, the creek blooms in riotous colour before anything else does.

Sunset looking East

Taking pics at dusk, or closing in on it, is tricky...move fast...and hurry up and wait....

the waiting, the sun cracked thru the clouds and gave me some super cool shadows heading right for the horizon away from me.

Pictured is the field, the low bushes are beaver marsh, the high tree's the other side of it.

and the fence, marking along the road.

Green carpet??

Almost yes. The creek, overflowing with water, is the first thing to green up this year. The fields are still bare-er than bare, dead, brown.

Taking into the sun is also not the easiest...so the angle leaves much to be desired, but I loved it anyways.
