Whatcha Doin?

I almost forgot I had these pics, waiting to get posted.  I shot them about a month ago.  I was outside taking macro shots of the water droplets on the cedar bushes in front of our big picture window, when I realized I was being watched.  I looked up and saw two of my “furry children” peeking at me from between the blinds.  These are our cats Jack and Earl, and I managed to snap a few “reflection”  shots of them before they got bored with me and went to find something else to do; most likely another nap.

Wednesday Morning

I woke up early this morning and couldn’t fall back to sleep.  It worked out ok though because I went out and got some nice shots of the sunrise.

 

Kitty Rule #1

“If I fits in it, I sits in it”.  This is a universal rule of all cats.  Any box, basket, bowl, etc., regardless of size, is a potential kitty bed.  This is my cat, Earl, and as you can clearly see, she is way too big for the box, but that doesn’t stop her from squeezing herself into it.

 

Highway 101

I had to take a different route to work the other day and I got a few nice pics along the way.  This is Highway 101 between Fence and Florence.

 

Monarch

I had time this weekend to play around with my Corel software and I tried a bunch of different stuff on one of my pics.  I just happen to really like this monarch picture, that’s why I chose it.  This is the first butterfly that I raised from a caterpillar in my house.  As soon as it emerged from it’s chrysalis, I brought it outside and got some pictures.  When  it’s wings were dry enough to fly, it was free to go.

Friday Evening

Just a few shots of the sky at sunset during my break at work.

 

 

Wednesday’s Ride

We finally got to see the sun again this week, but only briefly.  It started out sunny on Wednesday and I took these shots on my way in to work, but as you can see from the pics, by the time I got to Iron Mountain, it was quite cloudy again.  Actually, it has been ever since.  We had rain on Thursday and part of Friday and we had snow a little while ago this morning.

 

Dewdrops

Tamaracks

I shot these pics on my way to work the other day.  The tamaracks here are just gorgeous.  I love the way they look against the evergreens.

Monday Night Sunset

I took this shot yesterday on my break.  The sunset got mucher prettier after this, but I was unable to get another shot as I was back on the job by then.  I could see it through the windows though.
