Tree Line

Also on 17 Mile Dr.  I wish I knew what kind of trees these were.  This forest was so homogeneous and so linear, I just couldn't help myself!

Lavender Field

Another photo from yesterday's trip to Eatwell Farms.  This is my impressionist version.  I tried lots of this type of panning shot; I struggled with were to put the dark patches, and which direction to move the camera.  I think this one has the best balance of light and dark, plus it still looks like a field.

Yellow lichen growing on a fence along my dog-walking route.  This lichen adds color to a lot of my photos.  The blue is coming from the other side of the fence.  It's some trim on a house, which I lined up with a hole in the fence.

I really love this color combination, and have been trying to figure out how to photograph it all week.  Our red bud trees are blossoming, and around here, the red bud branches attract this yellow lichen.  I decided to try for a more impressionistic take on this beautiful spring palette.  I tried to pan vertically, and maybe it doesn't quite work since the branches curve a little, I don't know.  I think it helped that we've got a rainy day.
