Wheat, one of the main ingredients in bread.  This field is next to ours and almost ready for harvest.  I applied the Topaz 4 Adjust HDR Sketch filter.

This photo is a celebration for me!  I have been wanting to get a good moose shot for 2 years but to no avail.  On saturday we went for a drive out onto our field and found this beautiful cow moose with her healthy calf.  I was so excited that alot of the pictures were out of focus from my shaking!  lol.  So I hope you enjoy!  My favourite wild animal!!

Fear Theme #102

Posted in Photography on October 3, 2011 by paintedmeadows

I know, just looking at this picture it doesn’t say fear but let me tell you the story behind it.  First, I have always been afraid of birds, silly but I have been.  Until we got our chickens I couldn’t go near them.  So on friday when this little bird flew into our big picture window I felt horrible.  He/she was still breathing but flopped on his/her side and breathing hard.  We have an outside cat plus our little terrier so I just couldn’t leave that little bird there for them to kill.  So I went outside and picked it up gently and put it on the railing so I could keep an eye on him/her.  I couldn’t believe I did it when it was done.  I was so proud of myself, lol.  The second part of fear was for this little bird.  He/she was being picked up by a human, a dog and cat were playing around on the grass and he/she couldn’t move.  Poor little thing.  But after about 45 minutes he/she got up onto it’s feet so I went out to take some pictures.  He/she actually let me pet her/him and then he/she flew away.  (Boy I wish I knew which it was, lol)  So that is why I chose fear.
