i went on a walk today...

... and found some things to take pictures of! With the sun out today, i was almost fooled into thinking that spring is just around the corner! I know, i know... it's only January.
Anyhow- here are some of the pictures i came up with today :)

I really like the 2nd, 4th and 6th ones! Very cool shots! I really need to get out there and just capture nature. You did such a fantastic job doing so!

lol the Red things are balloons that were advertising an open house. i found it on my way home and stood behind them while waiting to cross the street so they would block the sun... then realized it was a cool photo op!

I really love the 5th one down. :) You're really good at the non-human stuff. . . that's definitely my weakest area!

You got some great macro shots today!

I really love the one with the TV. Great pictures.

Pussywillows??!!! You found PUSSYWILLOWS??!!! I am SO jealous--spring must come much earlier down there in the flatlands ;-). Love all your shots; the textures on the barbed wire are very nice. Great lighting here, Shannon. Way to take advantage of a dry day!

Tasha said...

I love those! good job! I totally know what you mean about posting late! You'd think since it was the day before. . .

Melissa said...

Wow I love that first one! I think the barbed wire one would be great in B&W!

I really like the photo with the tv, but they're all good. At scrapbookgraphics.com someone once did a challenge on 'photowalking', and you're getting wonderful finds in your walking about.

Tori said...

Wow, those are so neat, who would have thought barbed wire could look so cool? I love how you just found everyday things and made them beautiful. Great job. You sure had me beat on the posting time; hope you get lots of comments.

Becky said...

Very cool. Thanks for the explanation on the second one. I was just about to ask. :-)

Shawna said...

Wow, great shots!! I love the balloons!

I was trying pick a favorite, but I couldn't. They all look great!

Travis said...

Nice shots, it looks like you have lots of comments, right now you have 10 more than me. I really like the dof in the first shot, I think that one is by far my favorite. These are some interesting subjects, nicely done.

Love them all and around here pussywillows totally mean spring is just around the corner, unfortunately we won't see them for at least 2 or 3 more months.
Your macros are just wonderful, thanks for sharing.

Lauren Hartman said...

Wasn't yesterday amazing?!? Glad you were able to get out, shoot, and enjoy! According to the weather, once we get through today's gloom it's supposed to be nice the rest of the week, yay!

Val said...

These are so awesome! i want to know what the red things are!

Val said...

Oh, also wanted to say, the shot of the TV and the fence is so cool. Way to find beauty and a cool shot in something weird and garbagy.

Love these images, they are so abstract.
