"Lineman's Sunset"

Driving down the road at sunset, I just had to stop and grab this shot. The sky was so pretty, and the telephone poles all in a row made a nice addition. The old Glenn Campbell song "Wichita Lineman" came to my mind at that time, and each time I look at it this image!

"Come Fly with Me"

I was doing a little experimenting with some flower images last night and wanted to try out some different looks. I loved the shape of this beautiful tulip to begin with. It seemed to have wings ready to fly.
 I usually do my images in color, or sometimes black and white, but this time I went with more of a vintage look, and I really like the way it turned out. See how you like it!

"Calming Charm"

This is a wider take on a lovely courtyard in an area that I've done quite a bit of photography. The combination of the old historic structure, the details with the architecture and the materials used like the brick, stone, and of course the gorgeous wooden door are wonderful. Add in the spring blossoms on the Dogwood tree, the tulips and greenery and you get a total picture of calming, lovely, and charming history! Enjoy!

"Spring of the Lone Tree"

   So far this is my favorite lone tree. I came back to it several days ago to see how it looks so far in spring. Well as you can see there's not too much happening with the sprouting forth of leaves yet.
   There are just barely visible changes on the tree itself, but the trees in the background have a little more going on with their tiny leaf shoots, plus the ground is starting to show signs of spring in the form of the dandelion!
I'll make a trip back here again in a few weeks to see how things have changed. Since this was a cornfield last year I'm wondering if there will be more corn planted this year, a crop rotation, or maybe even giving the soil a rest. Time will tell!
