You Capture - Sky

So Beth is just throwing challenges at us lately that I love.  We have had magnificent clouds and skies lately.  So much so that I think in the past week that sky pictures probably make up 90% of the pictures I've taken.  So, without further ado...my beautiful Nevada skies.





I love the angle of this next one. 


And last but not least (and I'm cheating a little bit here - this was taken last week)


Looking forward to what everyone else captured, as usual!

    LOVE that black and white shot. Great job. I think everyone thinks sky shots should be in color, but I like your take on it with the B&W.

    Wow! Your Nevada sky really is beautiful or is it just that you're such a good photographer? I'm thinking it's both. And that last shot of the low low clouds rolling in? Stunning!

    Such neat shots! Our open sky here is surrounded by corn fields rather than neato mountains :)

    I know this is about skies... But I cannot get over those mountains in the second to last shot... They're beautiful! :)
    Your pictures are amazing.

    Wow! The sky is so giant in that third one that the mountains look teeny-tiny. Gorgeous!

You Capture - DOF

I loved this challenge.  I've been striving to find "the" depth of field picture that just speaks to me.  Luckily I had lots of opportunity this past weekend to find the pictures I wanted to.  On Saturday I boarded a bus to California's Amador County wine country and visited 4 different wineries with a friend. These were so bright and beautiful and simple. The colors!! Perfection! I took about 20 pictures of this door trying to get this perspective.  I love this one.  This was another one that was may favorite of about 20.   I think it's the burst of orange.   I can't wait to see all the beautiful pictures everyone else is going to post over at Beth's.

You Capture - Best Shot

Image
I suppose after two weeks of getting assignments and pictures that I *really* liked, it was time for me to struggle.  I wasn't taking any pictures that just spoke  to me.  But then again, it took me a long time to start taking pictures that I really liked. But I do have a couple that I think were my best for the week.  Hey, I've got an idea! Let me share them with you! This was taken on a hike the two older girls and I took last week.   And then we had our first harvest. One lone strawberry.  There are many more growing.  We are trying to keep the birds from nibbling on them before we get a chance to pick them.  Check out what other's thought was their best shot over at Beth's.

You Capture - Faces

Image
Beth? Are you out there?  Because I loved this challenge.so.much.   I think I captured a lot of love here too.  Oh, how I love her sweet face! And check out the eyelashes!! I thought only boys had eyelashes like that! (Do you like the bedhead too?) He is one of my most favorite people!  This is my honey, my rock, my money-maker, the love of my life! (Yes, sappy. But after more than 15 years together I still like him!) This is the other "man" in my life.  This is Bear.   He is sweet and stubborn and very jealous when it comes to sharing me with T.   This is "my" girl (the middle child).  She is the only one who looks enough like me for it to be obvious that she's my kid. She is so sweet and full of generosity and love.  Did you see the letter she wrote me the other day? No?  Go here and see.   And last, but certainly not least.  Me.  A sweaty mess after running 5+ miles wearing my awesome Team In Training training T-shirt.  This is the face a happy runner.   (F
