PWP week of Nov 26 – Dec 2 23
Welcome to December. One month left in the year. Kind’ve scary! Not many shots this week but I get E for Effort and I didn’t dip into the Archives! Kathy decided she could pose for me. Nice to still see the grass and not banks of the white stuff. Once again the skies are putting on a great show. A wintery shot of the beaver house. Of course I had to get one Christmas photo in. Likely be more next week. Enjoy! For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM. Click on the image and then right click to move thru the gallery.

This week’s content is a bit different. Still my photos but they are photos from previous years. The photos here are shots used for calendars for bygone years. Hence the fancy borders. It was bitter sweet going thru the files. Brought up lots of memories, some of them sad as I still really miss my four legged friends. We had a lot of good times. The shots with all the numbers on the bottom, are from my trusty assistance the trail camera. I did use my camera this week but the shots I got were Christmas decorations and no matter how the stores think, I think it is to early for Christmas content. Enjoy!

PWP week of Oct 29 – Nov 4 23
I hope everyone had a fun safe Halloween. This week is another mixed bag. Weather wasn’t great. We had sun, freezing rain, fog and snow. Time to set up Studio 13. I’m not a cold weather kind’ve gal. The magpie and coyote were taken by my assistant the Trail Camera. Hope you enjoy this weeks’ offering.
PWP week of Oct 22 – Oct 28 23
The camera had a well deserved rest this week. The white stuff arrived and I’m not a big fan of winter. I could have taken lots of photos of the skies as they were spectacular but figures I had enough of sky shots for awhile. So we have shots of the moon. Still practicing but seem to be getting a bit better. I tried a bit of ICM – in camera movement. And I used some of the presets on some flowers. They are fun to try. We had a visitor one day and I don’t think he was anymore happy to see the snow than I was. He didn’t hang around very long. Tuff arrived on the deck for a short visit. I wonder what next week will bring.
PWP week of Oct 15 – Oct 21 23
Another week to fly by. This one spent fencing and getting ready for winter. We still have a few trees with leaves on. They are hanging on pretty well. I’m adding more fall shots to my collection. Some trees are bare now. What a difference. More sky shots. Maybe the time of year but the skies have been spectacular. Josie was keeping track of the fencing crew one afternoon. I’d did a shot on black of Chase this week. He always looks so pensive. Went on a road trip to a library this week. Book sale. They had a display of Lego creations. Very creative. They also had a 3d printing machine. Didn’t see it in action but the dragon is one that was printed. Would loved to have seen it work, but ….. A couple flowers this week. That’s it for another week.

PWP week of Oct 8 – Oct 14 23
Frost on the pumpkin this morning. We’ve had a few mornings with frost. A fungi, I’m not familiar with the names of mushroom, but one decided to grow on the edge of our gravel road. It lasted for a number of days until someone ran over it. We’ve had some colorful skies this week. A lot of pink/red in the clouds. I was out with my dish soap and water combating the maple bugs and created some huge bubblies. They lasted a while too. As I drove down the road one morning, this beautiful cat was in the field. There were a couple of farms in the area so I hope it made it back home. Houses are starting to decorate for Halloween. I stopped to get a shot of one, I will see if I can capture more of the spooky creativity. Finally I was able to get a decent shot of the moon and a star thanks to a Udemy Night Photography course. Now I’m just waiting for a full moon. Of course there are dog pictures. Josie and her favorite ball and the pair of them posing. We’ve had some strong winds but the leaves are holding on so I keeping capturing them as one day they will be gone. Our resident fox and been traveling through the barn yard as this shot shows. I managed to shot a bit of variety hope you enjoy the shots. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.

PWP Week of July 30 – August 5 23
Wow — the weeks are flying by. Summer is half over. Sad to say but I’m starting to see signs of fall in my area. Golden rod is blooming; bull rushes in full glory, leaves are changing colors. Our two hummingbirds, which you’ll see, seem to be fueling up. All way to early. This week includes shots of — dogs, Josie and Sassy, the moon, lentils – does anyone make lentil soup. This is what they look like before they reach the pot! I’ve included a few shots from a Mid Summer festival I attended. Great day. A couple tracks to see if I have any trackers following me. Pretty easy to figure out. I don’t know if is the time of year but the skies lately have been gorgeous. One lone horse photo and this would be of my boy Quill. Hope you enjoy this weeks selection.

PWP Week of July 23 – July 29 23
Another fun filled week. This week we have an eagle that is king of the sand hill. Barrel racers coming off the first barrel. Some rain drops on hanging baskets and just falling. Looks like snow but is rain. Josie and her love of water. Chase laying and waiting at the door. Mr. Rabbit a plush friend. Portrait of two awesome dogs. More flowers and sky. This week you get to meet the Sunshine Sisters. Enjoy.

PWP Week of July 9 – July 15 23
July is half gone. Hard to believe. Some mornings here felt like October. Wouldn’t want to be waking up in a tent or under the stars. This week I went to the exhibit – Van Gogh and Beyond. It was wonderful. I could have spent all day at it. Highly recommend it. Along with the Scandinavian festival and the foxes, I’m doing to dedicate a page to the exhibit. I’m posting a few shots here as a tease. Along with them you will see dogs, skies, a shiny red Harley Davidson, sunflowers, my kitchen window and lived in living room. Most of the shots were taken with the 8mm fish-eye lens. It is a fun lens to pay with. Enjoy.

PWP Week of June 25 – July 1 23
This week we have an assortment of shots. I went to a farmer’s market and what a display of treasure to be seen. Not many veggies for sale but I wasn’t there when gates opened so maybe missed them. Did score some new potatoes and little cucumbers. Politely asked a man if I could take a picture of this dog. His is the little gray one with lots of hair. I cringle thinking about looking for ticks on it. The black and white dog belongs to a friend. A wonderfully smart border collie Australian shepherd. I stopped by the Hansen Ross House -Artists in Residence as the artists had displays out side. Wonderful work. I bought a couple items from C. Ingrid Deringer. Here is a link to her website https://www.ingridderinger.com/ Look under Ging Ging designs if you like whimsical. I had my fish-eye lens out for awhile. It takes awesome sky shots. It can make my dogs look kind’ve goofy. The roses I bought for an event. They sure didn’t last long. How long can you sit watching a gopher hole? Chase sat quite awhile. I have more fox pics but have decided to do a post of just foxes. I’m sure one of these days Mom will move them. I am downsizing my prop collection and taking shots of them be fore they leave. Hence the doll. You may be seeing more of such shots. That’s it for this week. Wonder what next week will bring. Enjoy.

PWP week of June 11 – June 17 23
I’m sorry this post is late.
Another great week. I could take 6 months of weather like we are having. Minus the mosquitoes. A little bad with a lot of good is ok. The highlight of my week was a trip to a Scandinavian festival. No airplane tickets involved. A friend and I drove to the site of the festival. Coming home was a bit dicey. The highway was being worked on and the signs weren’t put back up so I missed our turn. Figured it out before we went to far and thanks to Google maps found the right road. I have included a few teaser shots of what we saw. Will post a blog of all later in the week. Besides a bit of culture we have rain drops on clover, a high stepping robin, clouds, some late blooming lilacs. My Grandmother lived in a small town which had big lots. One side of hers was filled with a hedge of yellow roses. I am lucky enough to have a yellow rose bush, which reminds me of her, so this week we have some yellow roses. A barn swallow rests from driving Josie nuts. Remember to watch for the Scandinavian blog. For those of you who follow my posts, I try and have the content posted by 9:00 (CST) Sunday AM.

PWP week of Apr 16 – Apr 22 23
We have another good old storm the end of this week but no pictures will be posted. That season is over. I did get some shots of the spring run off before the storm. Josie loves the water. I did get a shot of angel wings and wonder if they belonged to my Guardian Angel. The one I keep pretty busy! And the same evening a jet flew over. I always wonder where they are off to when they pass over. This week you meet Scruffy. He is a mixed terrier breed. He had just escaped from the toy box and we stopped at the Conservatory. The Conservatory is always a great time. Having a new friend along made it extra special. Hope you enjoy this weeks offering.
