Photography

Before it got all cold and snowy here, my fiancé and I made one last trip up to the mountains. I convinced him to stop and let me take photos of a graveyard on our way back down the mountain. Maybe it's weird - I don't know - but I think the shapes and colors of the older gravestones are interesting. Plus, sometimes one finds interesting things on the stones.

I thought this design was beautiful - especially with the varying shades of gray. :)

I like the curving lines in this photo. And the stones in the background.

This next photo I did not take for its aesthetic interest, because it is not interesting at all in that sense. It was a plain headstone, a different color from all the others - light tan instead of gray. The only thing written on it were the initials S.L. I am very intrigued by this stone. Who is S.L.? Why are there no dates, and only initials on the stone? Why is it a different material than all the others? I'm so intrigued, I may just write a story about it.

Sunset Before Fireworks

I went to watch fireworks last night, but before the show starting, we got to see a different kind of light show.







I love sunsets... especially when there is water involved. :)

Pear Blossoms

I love new flowers in spring. I walked through campus the other day, only to have my sprits lifted by the sweet alluring smell of lilacs. Lilac, after mango, is probably my favorite sent. These pear blossoms are blooming on trees here on the farm. I really need photoshop; I'd love to make a few of the pictures I took black and white.




I love this setting sun behind these delicate white flowers.












This photo is a little too dark, again, I'd fix that if I had photoshop. I love the flower with the pink center.












Finally, I just liked this photo. :)
