Don’t start freaking out on me… I know this is the third time I’ve posted in as many days, but now that both of the houses are taking care of I’ve found I have a little more time on my hands to play on the computer… Don’t get use to it because this won’t last for long… 
I was feeling a little board today so I decided to venture outside with my camera and take some outdoor shots. The photos below are ones I took while practicing my metering skills. I think I got some nice shots, but I still have a lot to learn.
I was really proud to finally be able to get a (sorta) clear shot of a butterfly… I’ve been trying for days and the little pests wouldn’t set still long enough for me to even pull out my camera.
And here I was able to get two butterflies… I love how the red wheelbarrow just adds contrast in the background. I’m really happy with the shot.
I think this is probably my favorite photo… I was so happy (ecstatic really) to get it.
This is just a different view of the dragonfly… I was chasing it around the yard like a mad woman … it’s a wonder I didn’t run it off.
I love the delicate color of the flowers and I wanted to test my ability to spot meter in the direct sunlight. I think I did okay.. nothing to write home about.
FRIED GREEN TOMATOES! That’s all I gotta say about that…
This was my first encounter with a hummingbird moth. I don’t like how blurry the photo is, but it was almost as hard to get a photo of him as it was the butterfly. I had to shot fast and review later.
The color of the flowers is amazing… University of Tennessee orange… GO VOLS!
Well that’s it for me…
Our little family currently consists of Darryl, me, along with our pups Lucas & Lily. We've been together for 14 years now, and we love every minute of it. I enjoy all types of crafty things such as knitting, crocheting, photography, sewing, and making cards. Darryl enjoys gaming (both PC and PS3), playing guitar, cooking, and just veggin out. Lucas and Lily just love to sleep, eat, and pets.
Love the butterfly and dragonfly pics! I have tried endlessly to get good pics like that and have not had any luck…
These pics are great. I love the dragon fly..such detail.
