Today was supposed to be food. I ate boring things and was so hungry I snarfed them down before I remembered to take pictures of them. Oops. We had a really great thunderstorm this afternoon and I got to the barn to feed the horses just as it stopped and the sun peeked out. I of course forgot my DSLR on the way out of the house AGAIN, so missed about 1000 amazing water droplet and light shots because the point and shoot can't focus. Grrrrr. Gotta put that thing in my bag!!
Did get these which are touched up. I didn't even notice the bug until afterwards. Sheesh. Even when I'm not trying to shoot bugs they get in there. At least it's not a love bug. Those things are THICK today. Eew.

Wow, these are great, even if it wasn't your best camera! darfoster · 2010-05-18: 01:00

i love #2... i am always fascinated with subjects on one corner and have the rest of the image in blur or something like #2. for me, it gives a dramatic aura of an image. ;) so nice, kelly! richellesmile · 2010-05-18: 01:56

these are very pretty,better than food. gonia · 2010-05-18: 02:00

Wonderful shots! wildduck · 2010-05-18: 12:50

If I should combine these excellent images to food, it would be Haggis! I always think of Scotland when I see a thistle. #2 is my favorite, and I added it as so too. Ole365 · 2010-05-18: 15:42

Neat shots. I do like it when there's a surprise thing in a shot that I wasn't aware of. Jarvo · 2010-05-18: 20:19

love this set! and I like the last shot especially! ????? · 2010-05-18: 22:34

I'm glad you didn't post food, because I wouldn't have put a taco in my favorites - but I did save the third one! djnana · 2010-05-18: 23:10

We drove through swarms of "love bugs" on our way to Disney World in 1985, and our BRAND NEW Chrysler New Yorker was washed off often at the rest stops along the way. Messy!!!!! lgnelson · 2010-05-18: 23:23

Wow, gorgeous! jet28 · 2010-05-19: 07:27

nice set josejacob · 2010-05-20: 12:11

Beautiful set. Love the framing of #2 and the look you captured. drohask · 2010-05-20: 15:39

:-) I know how you feel when missing great shots! Love the last one, bug and all..I was bitten too, mosquitoes! Horrible little things. Medicate and itch for a week on my sensitive skin. NellyBly · 2010-05-21: 17:26
