Friday shoot my town.


Experimenting with shallow depth of field.


Yes these are from the archives and I must admit I have no idea how I did them.
But I do have them to help me compare what I am trying now.
Trying to learn.



Peeling bark from a riverbirch tree.









Ornamental grass around the pond.









Riverbirch tree in the winter.




Tomato vines.






Go here for more Friday Shoot Out.

Nicely done. I'm planting some ornamental grasses today. I hope they look as nice as yours when they mature.

The week will be gone before I get to visit everyone this week. Love the peeling bark shot, Peggy. So simple yet so effective. Or maybe so effective because of the simplicity? Either way, it's lovely.
