These days I am not venturing very far for photographs. In fact, I have barely gone beyond my house and yard. Sometimes, this is because I don't have the time, but often, I am being a tad lazy and not motivated enough to get out of bed early on the weekends to seek something out or go somewhere too far away from my coffee pot.
Even though I must admit to being a bit in a rut, I still find shots in my yard with bits of nature--luckily I don't get bored with flowers, leaves and plants. These are all typical photographs for me--all taken at home.
Frosty, dried hydrangea in my backyard (I like hydrangeas the best in the winter so I don't cut them back until Spring).
And these old crab apples from the tree in my front yard.
Abstract frost patterns on my old, single-paned bedroom window (we really need to replace that):

Snowflakes on fallen, brown leaves still left in my back yard:
And a few shots that I set up using clippings from my yard:
Thanks for viewing my post.
Please follow around our circle of women photographers, starting with my beautiful and talented friend Kim Bajorek. I am so grateful that she invited me to join this group of talented photographers in the monthly collaborative blog circle.
Bonnie, I cannot express how beautiful all of these are. If I had the wall space, I would buy each one as a print. You are such an artist and I'm grateful that you further point out the beauty of nature. Your abstracts are brilliant! So glad to have you in the circle!!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing Bonnie! The hydrangeas are my favorite, so beautiful with the frost. I look forward to joining in next month!
ReplyDeleteThanks. One of the perks of winter for me is the frost!
DeleteBonnie, these are fabulous! I love your nature images...and I only wish my hydrangeas looked that good in winter. I am so glad you joined the group. I feel like I can get to know you a bit more (it was hard at Oasis...so many gals and so much to do). FYI: my screen name is Lola on Google...but it's me Laura B. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Laura . . . I am happy I joined the group as well. Winter hydrangeas are one of my favorite things. They dry out so nicely and I've been known to keep dried ones for years :)
DeleteWelcome to our circle. Your photos are fabulous. I LOVE the frosty hydrangeas and the snow on the leaves is amazing. The first leaf has a perfect flake that looks unreal. :) Oh and the abstract window...that looks like a painting....so, so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristina. I am so happy to be a part of this circle. It's very fun and inspiring :)
DeleteHi Bonnie! So happy to have you join our 10 on 10 circle! Your images are stunning! The lines, composition, and beauty in each shot makes me linger and take it all in! I look forward to getting to know you!
