Daffodils in our yard are starting to bloom about two weeks behind this year compared to last. We have hundreds growing all over so I suspect I’ll soon be overloaded with photo opportunities.
I wish there was a way to learn about the history of this tree, roots exposed to an eroded dirt slope. It appears more dead than alive, with Virginia Creeper vines growing upward and adding a small bit of color.
As a strong weather front passed overhead a few day ago, I saw an unusual cloud formation sharply separated from clear blue skies. Composing a scene with bare trees in the foreground made an interesting image.
It’s common in areas of rural America where I see how reluctant people are to discard their possessions (junk?) once they are no longer needed. When asked, many owners will respond by saying they want to keep what they have, never knowing if such might be needed later on. As a photo enthusiast this situation makes my life enjoyable, seeking such compositions.
By luck I had my 55-200mm lens attached when I glanced up and spotted this female Cardinal sitting on a tree limb overhead. Winter is not a good time in SW Virginia for bird photography. Thus, “luck” rules.
