Exploring the World – One Image at a Time

Crocuses 2022

For 20+ years I’ve hunted crocuses just south of where I live. Thru the years I’ve had different 4 legged companions. This year I had a new companion. Chase accompanied me on my journery. My heart ached for the ones that were there but only in memory. Life goes on. Another change is I decided to take artistic shots. I carried my lensbaby lens with various optics. I hope you enjoy the images I was able to create. Click on the image and it will enlarge, then arrow thru the gallerymusing on the arrows on either side.

PWP Week of July 26 2020

Happy August 1.  Happy long weekend to my Canadian friends.  And a good friend is celebrating a birthday.  Birthday wishes coming your way.

This week’s collection is mixture of images.  There was no travelling, spent some time in Studio 13.  Practicing with my Lensbaby Composer.  Our flowers are starting to bloom so I have lots to practice on.   I’ve included a few barrel racing and rodeo ones taken the weekend of July 18.  The one of the steer wrestle did quite well on Instagram. My assistant the Trail Camera caught an encounter between the resident fox and our visiting raccoon.

I’m thinking of creating a “Western Images” page of rodeo, barrel racing, western accessories and horses.  And a “Treasures and Keepsake” page.  I’ve included a few of these shots in this week’s collection.

PWP Week of June 14 2020

Happy Sunday.  We hope you had a good week.  The Boy and I did.  For a while I’ve been planning putting a photo studio in the barn.  It’s not very elaborate but I am having fun with it. The Boy lays and watching as I change background, bring out more props, make adjustments, probably thinking going for a walk taking pictures would be more fun!  It stays cool in the barn, so it is a good place for both of us to hang out when it gets hot out or windy!  On Tuesday a friend/ photographer came over and we practiced with props and backgrounds.  She has a very creative mind and wonderful props. I hope she visits again!  We used old calendars for backgrounds and they worked wonderful. If  you have old calendars lying around needing a home, please contact me.  Prairiewindphotography3@gmail.com    I promise they will be treated well.  My iris plant is providing blooms now.  I spent some time trying different background with one of the blossoms.  Scrapbooking pages work great for these backgrounds.  A while ago I acquired a Lensbaby Composer with various optics.  I did some practicing with it once I assembled the studio. I am looking forward to doing more.  I already have some favourite optics.  The Boy and I went on a road trip.  Came across the goose and duck family.  Imagine a family of nine. The wild roses are in full bloom.  Each morning as we walk I find more to photography. Soon they will be gone and something will take their place.  My assistant – the trail camera caught the curious young buck.   We have three bucks and a doe that visit often. The only credit I can take for this one is positioning the camera!

I hope you enjoy this week’s collection.  See you next week!
