Happy Easter!

Anndee's Engagement Round #1

I took some pictures for Anndee about a month ago and am just now getting them posted here.
Enjoy, there are more to come :)

Bruised, not broken!

Tuesday Boyd fell off the stairs from the top level of the old house to the level below.  Now, he claims he could have stopped his fall if only he would have let go of the bucket of sawdust and trash in one hand and the scraps of wood in the other.  But, and I quote, "He didn't want to have to clean up the mess if he dropped the trash".   

Yes, well....

Instead,  he and the trash and the scraps of wood ALL fell to the floor below and ALL of it made a mess.

Then, to make matters worse, I was in a meeting and didn't answer his phone call.   He wanted me to take him to InstaCare to get some X-rays and drugs for the pain.   So, I let him down in a big way because I didn't know I needed fly to his rescue.  

We finally got the X-rays and it isn't broken, but it sure is bruised!!!!

March in Black and White

 All taken with my iPhone in low light, hence the noise.

March in Color

 The morning of March 24th.  SNOW!

 Cold, but no wind.

 Plenty of mice. The dogs are always digging huge holes for mice.  We even have three neighbor dogs who come over and dig up our hay fields.

 Storms!

 And sometimes it is actually dry enough to burn a few weeds.

Another Year

 Another year since my dad has been gone.  The parsnip is a gift from neighbor.   My mom wouldn't take any and told my dad's good friend that Vern was the only one who liked them.  So, my dad got one. :)

 It was cold and snowy and windy the day we went out.

 My Aunt Sybil started the pine cone on the headstone tradition.

 The flag at the cemetery.

The Hat

 This is just a bunch of different ways that I edited the same shot.

 I got light bokeh in the shot, but I added a few different actions to change the overall look.
