Sunday Stills "Commercial Vehichles"

This week's challenge is something dear to me. Delivering goods, so this weeks challenge is to get some pics of Semis, delivery trucks and any vehicle that delivers goods to stores or people. Bonus for anyone who can find an Ice Cream truck..;-)

Looks real, but they are my grandson's toys.

Sunday Stills "Favorite"

I'm not sure if I ever posted these photos, but they are favorites of ours.  These are from last summer, of our 2 grandchildren, 2 year olds Makenzie and Caden, on a very hot August afternoon, helping me to finish chores. They were walking together down the sidewalk to the house, holding hands.

I can't pick a favorite. Can you?

Sunday Stills "Birdstalking"

This past Sunday Still's challenge was "Birdstalking".

I have a hard time getting close-ups of any birds, except Robins.  I'm proobably not patient enough to sit and watch!

This robin seems to be enjoying his bath, or the sun! I like the reflection in the water.

I had lots of geese fly overhead this spring!

One day, they were everywhere in the sky, for about a 1/2 hour.  Some were going one direction, some the other.

Sunday Stills "Weather"

This week's Sunday Stills challenge is "Weather or Not".  "I should have saved Transitions for this week when winter ends and spring begins but in keeping with the seasons lets find us some weather…..naughty or nice. Let’s show everyone what it’s doing in your neck of the woods." 

This weekend, we had beautiful blue skies with 80 degrees!

Mid-week, the sky was blue with puffy white clouds.

Early in the week, we had dark clouds and 3 rainy days.  I didn't get a shot of that rainy sky, just some darkness in these clouds.

Sunday Stills "Transitions"

This week's Sunday Stills Challenge is "Transitions".  "For this next weeks challenge I want you to photograph your interpretation of a transition……what comes to my mind is one that goes from the end of winter to the beginning of spring but you might want to do something uniquely different."

With a warm week here, with the days in the high 60's to the 80's, we have green grass and buds starting.  Last week, there was not even green here.

These little blue flowers are my favorite.

The trees had no leaves last weekend, and now yesterday, some of the trees are just starting.

Some new green growth on the roses,

Another tree, with just buds on the ends.  This is probably my favorite photo this week, the bud against the bright blue sky.

More flowers started coming through this week, first one,

then a few more,

then one flowered yesterday!

Sunday Stills "

For this Sunday Stills challenge of "A Small Part of a Whole", we are to "take two picture, one of “the big picture” and the second of just a part of it. If we can do Macro photography, we might want to take a photo of a whole flower and then one of the centre for example. Maybe a tree and a birds nest in the tree itself…….you get the picture ".

Our Penn State Parking Sign,

and a close-up of Nittany Lion.

A night light display,

and a single receptacle,

and some of the wood grain.

Sunday Stills "Through an Opening"

This week's Sundy Still's challenge is "Through an Opening"

I love this one.  Looking at Shaggy through the tire.

Looking through my stirrup at the saddle,

Looking through the open barn door,

Looking through the barn door another direction,

Looking through the gate at the pine trees,

Looking through the trees,

Looking through my fingers at the grain bin,

And finally, looking through a V in the tree, and watching my Hubby add brush to the fire.
