Some blooming echinaceas next to our bird feeder.
I love taking pictures of our garden because you really get to take in the beauty of it all when you truly look into it.
Some fresh blueberries from our bushes!
I love eating fresh blueberries straight off the bush and it tastes so much better than storebought ones.
Tree anatomy!
I found a tree that was partly hollowed out and stuck my camera in there.
Some fun depth perception.
I wanted to play with depth perception while I had the chance with some hay bales!
Joe Pye Weed and butterflies at Upper and Lower Lakes
I spent some time this afternoon poking around a field at Upper and Lower Lakes Wildlife Management area that had lots of Joe Pye Weed in bloom. Many Monarchs were flying around--it's nice to see so many Monarchs after a few years without many around. A few other butterflies were flitting about the field, including a Bronze Copper.
What some may call the "perfect Elm."
My grandmother invited me to her house to get pictures of what she calls the "perfect Elm."
A spectacular encounter with nature.
I was looking for some great Calendar Contest photos when I found this dragonfly and quickly pulled out my camera to get some photos.
Something beautiful that we seem to take for granted in our daily lives.
I was taking a break from photography to get a drink and I looked up, realizing that the perfect picture is something we look at every day.
A beautiful pond near my house.
I was looking for good photos for the Calendar Contest when I thought to take some pictures of a pond nearby. I think this was the best out of the ones I took.
