The Fields of Summer

These are just some of the pictures I took out my car window the end of July this year. I wish I had taken the pictures of the just cut wheat field on another day previous to this one because the way the sun was shining on it made it look like pure gold. These are not the best pictures but they are the most recent I have of my landscapes. This hasn't been the best time for picture taking this summer. Hopefully next year will be better. I also have film in my other camera that needs to be finished up so I can take it to be developed along with some other rolls that are ready to develope. Those have some interesting blizzard pictures on them (I hope). I actually don't know what all might be on those rolls so I am anxious to get them developed. In the meantime, if you enjoy the farm life, I hope you enjoy these pics.

Wordle Art Fun

Here is something just found online while browsing through some other blogs. Check out http://wordle.net and see what you can do with your words. The link below was created on wordle.net from just giving the URL to this blog. It is a word art created from the words on this blog. It took just seconds to do.

Fourth of July Fireworks

Starting out with still photography, I changed to video after these photos were taken. I am still working on the videos. Maybe I will be able to get them on here once I figure out how it works--that is once I am done editing them.

After The Storm Is Over...

We had a tornado warning tonight that actually ended up with some tree damage, and maybe more. I haven't heard the news yet. Because I live in a mobile home, I had to leave quickly and go to a friend's house where there is a basement. Driving over was not pleasant. I think I ended up driving through the worst part of it. Thankfully, I made it and we didn't get hit as badly as it could have been.
After the storm was over my friend and I and her son decided to go check out my place and some other areas just out of curiousity. What we actually really got a good look at was the sky. I am sorry about the clarity of these pictures not being so good. They were taken through the car windows. But you can get the idea.

Just heard the news. Our area was hit worse than it seemed like in my particular area. The county apparently had at least 5 touchdowns of tornados and has been declared a disaster area. I know when I was driving to my friends, I was dodging big tree branches already across the road and still falling around me. But where we drove around afterwards, there was little more than that. We had a very bad tornado several years ago and I really hate to find out what this storm did.

Enjoy the pictures. Sorry about all the reflections from the flash in the glass.

Landscapes

These are NOT my pictures, but I wanted to put them in here because they are just pretty.

Flowers, Flowers, and More Flowers

All these pretty posies were in one flower garden at a client's house where I used to do private duty home health care. Definitely a green thumb in that family. I think one of the pictures might be sideways. Can you pick out the right one?

Venice Beach and High In The Sky

These pictures were scenes from Venice Beach, California. I spent six days in North Hollywood between Christmas and New Years Day and didn't get to do very much the entire time. Finally we got to go to the beach. These are some of the better pictures I took. All pictures were taken with my Canon AE1 and the zoom lens.

The following photos were taken from my airplane window as I was leaving LAX in Los Angeles after the one and only "vacation" I ever went on. I don't really consider it a vacation, because it wasn't that kind of trip. Anyway, I had never flown before this trip. Going out to Los Angeles I traveled overnight so I couldn't take any pictures. Plus I was pretty airsick. I didn't get airsick after that initial trip. These pictures are all either of the California coastline and the Pacific Ocean, or they are of flying above the clouds. I thought that the clouds when seen from above instead of from below like we are all used to, were fascinating. Sometimes they looked like you could actually walk on them. I hope you enjoy these pictures.
