SNOW ???

This looks like we had a sudden snow storm in our backyard.



Actually it's a blizzard of almond petals this morning.
After some simply gorgeous weather we are back in the wind and rain cycle.
All the pretty blossoms are falling to the ground.



This was the way the almond tree was 2 days ago.
Have a great weekend everyone. Try to stay warm and dry.

ABC WEDNESDAY LETTER " F "

Here we are at the letter " F " in our trip through the alphabet.
While driving Far away From the Freeway we Found this Funny sign.
We never Found the white horse so ... maybe the sign was false ....



I captured these Fancy Feet by some Farm equipment when our Family was visiting the Agricultural Museum.



Here is an amazing Faux truck. Its not Factory made. A class of high school Freshmen and Sophomores
Fashioned the entire truck out of Finely crafted wood. Every piece of the truck was carved and honed to pure perfection.
Even the underside was complete with axels and exact detail. Fascinating, isn't it?



You can see the detail that was Fabricated From Floor to the Fancy steering wheel and dials.
This was a Fantastic Find and I Felt excited to see such craftmenship.

ABC WEDNESDAY LETTER " E "

Today we are celebrating the letter " E " for ABC Wednesday.
What do these bare trees have to do with the letter " E "?
The photos are my way of showing the Evolving of the seasons.
Winter brought naked trees to my backyard.



As February Emerged so did my blossoms.



Yesterday I found the limbs of the Almond tree Elegantly dressed
in soft pinkish buds.



Here and there were Extremely delicate blossoms. The process from Entirely barren to Emerging flowers is like Evolution.
Be sure to Enlarge each photo to see the detail Emerge.

HEAVY CLOUDS

This is the photo I took from our moving car after I discovered and corrected the camera setting.
Look back at my previous post to see the digital difficulties of the wrong setting.

Enlarging the pictures will show the scenery better.



The clouds were so heavy and full of rain. I loved the layers of different shades of gray.
I need to learn photoshop so I can remove the highway marker from the shot.
Enjoy it anyway.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

ABC WEDNESDAY LETTER " D "

Today is ABC Wednesday and the letter is " D ".
" D " is for Digital Difficulities.
I was trying to take some Detailed photographs as we were Driving over hill and Dale the other Day.
I couldn't figure out why my photos looked Different.
I Discovered my Dial had been bumped and my pictures were Definitely blown out.



So I guess you could call me a Digital Dummy.
I'm glad I Didn't Delete them.
Don't you think they make interesting landscapes Devoid of the Dense colors?
Enlarging each one will show the detail.
