Default Can you hear me now????

I went for a drive today by myself and was on a photography quest. I found so many interesting things but can only post 4 so here it goes...

This is so lacking in sharpness but I hope the humor of it helps overcome it's flaws,
"Can you hear me now?" (there are a few more with different titles on my flickr)

Can You Hear Me Now?


This one is for Patrick, I actually went to a nursery (not Lowes, sorry) and shot some flowers. I do still plan to go to Lowes. I just loved the colors and designs in this bloom.

Sunburst

I have not had time to look this little guy up but I just loved how colorful and vivid he is.
If anyone knows feel free to inform me, thanks! I do believe he is the male version to the two yelling up above.

I just loved the look of this horse just enjoying the sun out in the field.

Horse laying in a field


Today's shoot was not near as entertaining and fun as yesterday's shoot. It is a ton of fun to have someone to shoot with. Today I was by myself but it was relaxing, quiet and nice. Any day shooting photography is a great day no matter what!

That 1st on is a Riot Michele! Looks like the one yelling is about to blow the other away!!!
Beautiful flower, Patrick will be jelouse! Looks like a Swallow to me, but I'm no expert either.
Beautiful shot of the Horse laying in the field! Looks sooo peaceful!
Thanks for Sharing these

Yes, I like the humor of the 1st shot. As if the birds are quarelling. I like the colors of the 2nd shot, the DoF for the focus on the 3rd shot and the mood of serenity in the last shot. Thanks for sharing.

That first one reminds me of a joke about a nagging wife.....

That flower is stunning, the colors are wonderful and the lighting is superb.

All great pics and thanks for sharing.

Hi Michelle, Aren't days, alone, just you and your camera the best? Sometimes cameras are almost like honing devices, leading you to beauty. Which you clearly found. You also found a Tree Swallow. Aren't they grand! So is your Dallia. I love the way the petals curl and the bright color! The horse in the field is so...well, pastoral. Very calming.

Nice photos. The flower is wonderful, my dads favourite flower was a dahlia. The bird is too funny.

Well I love the first shot, your caption is just perfect. As is the flower in the 2nd shot, the colors are beautiful. They are all very nicely done. We missed you today, and I didn't get to even pick up my camera, but I'm so glad that you got to go do something just for you !!!! Those days are far and
few between. Enjoy the rest of your quiet week.

I was thinking the same thing, that it looks like the second bird is about to go flying backwards from the wind of the first ones yelling. So funny!
Thank you very much!

Thanks Laura. It reminded me of that also and that is why on my flickr I have a different one labeled with the "Would it kill you to tell me you love me once in a while?" from that commercial with the wife that screams at the ref from the football game. .
Glad you liked the flower also. I just thought it was stunning when I saw it. I may have to plant some of these here at home!

Hi Lindy, Yes you are right everything looks different through a view finder. It was a wonderful peaceful day being at one with nature. Thank you so very much!

I think it is my new favorite. I am glad you enjoyed them and I am glad the birds gave you a giggle.
Thank you!

Thanks Mom, I missed you all as well. Way different then yesterday but still a nice day. I will cherish my last two days of peace and serenity. Enjoy your time with Jesica and Jarett it will be over all to soon also!
