A Walk in the Forest

Posted in nature, photography by Linda on April 18, 2009

The house will be up for sale soon. Thus, there are quite a few preparations to be done; keeping me somewhat busy these days. But today, I decided to treat myself to a little time with my camera after all.. the weather was just too wonderful to stay inside.

img_0403-2Ah! Finally! What brings more happiness than to stroll along a forest path seeking out (more) signs of spring, while the last snow is melting into water and the sun warms my face.. img_0385-3..and everything is just coming to life around me.

img_0448-2The old giving way to the new.

img_0419-2Hey, look who’s coming over to say hello.. or was it more like “miaooo”

img_0434Apparently there’s something up there.

img_0442-1A mysterious shadow..

img_0447-2No need to worry. Just a couple of trees enjoying their moments in the sun.

img_0453-2These are reaching for the warm sunlight as well.

img_0485-2Shine on me

img_0509-2A glimpse of the blue sky. Simply beautiful.

img_0490-2Oh yes. I know. The house. Better go pick up that paintbrush again..

Amazing how time flies when you’re having fun ;)

A friend said it so beautifully; Like a sun that landed on earth.. Soon there will be thousands of little suns everywhere, blessing my day. Welcome spring!

Hey mom (yes, you with the camera) – why don’t you forget about those boring trees over there.. and take a look at me instead!

Ok sure, Mr Funny Face, never mind the trees. I can take those pictures another day. What is this anyway; a little touch of spring fever? Hmm.. probably ;)

The First Signs of Spring

Posted in nature, photography by Linda on March 19, 2009

There has been quite a few days since my last blog post. Among other things, I have spent that time – you guessed it – getting to know my new macro lens a little better. Here are some results.. so far. There will be more to come. I promise.img_9581-3

Melting ice.. almost like diamonds in the sunlight

img_9613The moment of rebirth. When everything is frozen and covered with snow, it can be hard to believe that we’ll ever see this sight again. But every year, no matter how long the winter may seem, life is born anew. That is the miracle of spring. It never fails us.

Ice is a true master of art, creating amazing creatures in miniature. Like this one – a bird ready to spread its wings and fly off into the blue sky?

img_9609This one just wants to say a friendly hello!
