12 of 12 - the May edition

It’s that time of the month again… lol. Time for Chad’s 12 of 12. It’s a cool concept and you should go and check it out the other 12 of 12’s if you get a chance.

I warned you yesterday, the pictures were lacking. But I was able to make up for it last night. Honestly, there is nothing like spring in Michigan.

7:30 AM – I was chasing Hunter around the house with the camera… literally. This is the one shot I got that wasn’t so blurry. Even tho’ a couple of the blurry ones were kind cool.

5:46 PM – Flowers from a planter hanging in the back yard. Cool colors together.

5:47 PM – Even dead flowers can make a cool picture.

5:47 PM – I love finding hearts in unusual places. Here is a heart in the freshly tilled dirt of my flower garden. I hope it’s a sign of a garden to be filled with love.

5:52 PM – Kev making dinner… tacos, yummy.

6:40 PM – This is the poppy plant that we bought last weekend to plant in one of my flower gardens. It was frosty out these past couple of nights, so it’s living inside for right now. I love the colors of the flowers.

6:42 PM – Hunter outside… of course. Actually he is playing with the bird feeder.

6:58 PM – Here is a pic of my new highlights. I’m not having the best hair day, but you get the idea. NOTE: of course it looks much better today. Lol

~*~ Yard tour begins here~*~

7:25 PM – This is a close up of the flowers on my Twisted Weeping Lavender. It really is the coolest tree.

7:30 PM – I thought the light looked cool coming thru’ the back of the pear tree.

7:30 PM – Apple blossoms. There are so many this year, it’s great. Last year a late frost killed everything off and we only had one apple on this particular tree.

7:31 PM – My multi-tasking man! Kev is pushing Hunter on the swing and playing catch with Tyler. And yes, Tyler is sticking his tongue out. LOL

There you have it. I hope you enjoyed the backyard tour. Thanks to Chad for hosting this monthly exercise.

Morning sun

All morning I watched the sun’s rays coming through the trees. I was making breakfast and periodically going out and taking some pics. I used my exposure lock to get a better exposure. This was the first time I had used that feature on my camera… I’m sure I will be using it again, now that I seem to have the hang of it.

How’d I do?

I’m really starting to feel better about my photographs.
