Home Sweet Home

Aaaahhh. :) I can smell the wood fire from here. *sigh* ;)

Dark Day

Yesterday, up at the school, the sky looked pretty ominous... quite cool. ;)

Time Exposure

Looking at some of Will's awesome photos made me decide to try some stuff of my own. ;) This one is a 15-second exposure of a car coming up 2nd Street (and another driving in the cemetery).

Out of the Archives...

I've posted a couple of sunset pictures recently, but looking back through my photo archives ;) I found some pictures of this spectacular sunrise!!!!! (Nothing has been done to this picture. I promise!!) .......can you say "breath-taking"?!?!?

Hard at Work :P

Doing one of the things I love best... an appropriate picture for this blog. ;) Thanks to Mom for the photo! (Recognize that sunset?? :D)

So Fiery

What a fantastic, smoldering sunset this evening!! (Thanks to Rose and my camera for the picture. ;))

Copper Wheat

The sunset this evening was beautiful - and we made a special trip out just to photograph it. :) The wheat was so pretty, catching the sunlight, and the headstones in the Jesuit cemetery were all reflecting the evening sun so warmly. (Click on it to see it larger... note the road in the right of the picture... I like the way it seems to lead to the horizon... and beyond.)

Spooky! :P

Actually, I think it looks rather cozy. :)

RR Crossing

I don't know exactly what to caption this series of pictures... How about....
A peanut sat on a railroad track,
His heart was all a-flutter!
Down came a train and...

Toot! Toot! --
Peanut butter.
:D

Reflections

Looking eastward while the sun was setting yesterday.

Another "Skyscape"

Kansas River

Definitely a Kansas-sort of beauty (if it qualifies for beauty!!), but I like the amount of blue that's in the picture.

Sweet Gum Color

The sweet gum tree in our back yard...

More Fun with Pictures

I don't know if I actually 'ruined' this picture by messing with it or not, but here 'tis anyhow! :)

After:

Another Enhanced Sky

A tad bit more realistic-looking this time. ;)

And the original...

A Bug's Eye View ;)

Brilliance in the Evening Sky

It completely looks like a painting, doesn't it?!?! Some kind of Impressionistic something, eh? (I'm not too great at art - can't you tell? :P - but that's what it reminds me of.) The only thing I did to this picture which I just snapped this evening was click "enhance" in iPhoto. That's it!
....November sundown.

......Here's the "before" picture: Rather pathetic, huh? (At least, after the above!) *embarrassed* ...and ALL I did was click one little button. Nothing fancy like Photoshop...

Makers of Music

Can you tell what it's a picture of? (The title of the post oughta be a hint, in case it's not obvious.)
