We don’t get things that look soft and dreamy, so I had ignored this assignment until the day before yesterday. When we get rain, we often get lots of rain. I was in the hay barn and got this shot before we got the emergency backhoe working and did some ditch digging to protect the… Continue reading

This is a lovely Colorado sky, bright blue and full of fluffy clouds. Summer is here. We didn’t have any spring – we went straight from winter to summer. Prompt: Using contrast in your photography can give you very artistic shots. Make a color photo with high contrast today. Continue reading
