Spring?

Minnesota has been in Winter's death grip for so long, I was beginning to think Spring would never get here.  The baby goslings in my back yard today dispel all doubt: Spring has finally arrived.

Spring.  New beginnings.  Renewal.  Those thoughts could apply to me this Spring also.  I'm hoping this year will be the best year I've had in a long time.  And what better way to start these new beginnings than to fire up the blog and get it humming again?

I hope to have many new photo ops available to me this year in the comfort of my own back yard.  I've heard rumor of deer, fox, and beaver, oh my!  We shall see what my camera finds.

These images were shot through a window, hand-held; so they are a little blurry.  

Mooned

It's a full moon tonight.

I took a few shots and loaded them into Lightroom. To my amazement, if you crank clarity up to 100%, you see STARS.  I'm going to have to experiment with this further...

Waning days of Fall

There are still a few beautiful bits of Fall out there.  Walking into church today, I had no choice but to stop and take a picture.  (Not bad for a camera phone.)

Fall eye candy

Happy Fall!!!!

Fair babies

When the opportunity presented itself to head to the Minnesota State Fair today, I made sure my camera came along.  I didn't visit all the animals this year, but I did see some of the babies.  This floppy-eared piglet had only one thing on its mind: FOOD. 

I think this Oreo calf was daydreaming of milk.  Oreos and milk just go together.

This baby woolie was just dreaming.  Period.

And this baby was fighting the need for a nap.
