LILIES

 

Beauty blooms, even during hard times.  Take comfort.

A SURPRISE

I saw this beautiful ruffled grouse by the roadside and pulled over to watch and take pictures.  She stood there motionless until her side feathers began to quiver.  Out popped four little chicks who’d  been hiding under her wings.  Mom immediately headed into the woods.  The babies sat there a a bit, then followed.  Ahhh, nature.

FARMLAND SCENES

Fields of golden wheat swaying in the breeze are one of my favorite summer scenes.  After farmers harvest the crop, the vistas change to hay bales, another scene I enjoy photographing.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY

 I was out shooting in farm country and spotted a bald eagle perched on this metal barn.  It was the second time I’d seen an eagle there.  I watched for about twenty minutes hoping to catch it in flight but all it did was swivel its head and watch out over the land.  Thought today was the perfect time to post pictures of America’s bird, plus a few other holiday doodads.

ALONG THE ROADWAYS

 

There’s always something to see.
