Sunrise through the trees

If you've followed me for awhile you probably know that I am not an early bird.  But I had another sleep study and they wake you up bright and early and send you home.  So on the way home I got a few photos of the sunrise.  Here is one with the sun shining through the trees onto an old silo.  I will share more later.

Thanks for stopping.  Have a great Sunday and I'll see you next time.

More from Lake Shetek State Park

Today I'm showing a few more photos from my visit to Lake Shetek State Park. These are all reflections of trees in the lake.







This next one is just the reflection in the one above.  It almost makes me dizzy looking at ti.








There's still enough green here so I'm linking to:
 Green Day at Rainbows and Daisies.

Thanks for stopping and have a great weekend!
Happy Thanksgiving to my friends in Canada

Signs of Spring

It's finally looking like spring around here.  I went out yesterday  to take some pictures in my  yard.
The Maple trees are beginning to bud. This Maple is in my front yard. The leaves are a burgundy in the spring, then  turn green and finally yellow in the fall. I had to call the local nursery to find out what kind of Maple it is and was told it is a Schwedler Maple.




 I have put out my bird bath and the birds have really been  enjoying it.  But of course I can never capture any of them using it.



 The daylilies are beginning to grow around the birdbath.



The sun was shining through this Japanese Maple that will turn red in the fall.



I played around with these photos in PicMonkey.  It is really easy to use, much like Picknik.  I used the resize, sharpen, soften, and rounded corners features.  I didn't use the cross process.  I'll save that for another time.  I used Olive's instructions to use PicMonkey.  You can see her photos here at Olive Out.


Blessing to you at Easter and Passover
