Macro Monday

She never fails me Thanksgiving week.

I wish you all a very happy and delicious Thanksgiving.

Sunday Stills Challenge – Horses

I know that this weeks challenge will be a breeze for most of our members, and I thought it would be for me as well. And, it would have been had it not been for Mother Nature. The beginning of last week was very rainy and that’s when I had the time to go out and run up and down our country roads looking for horses. I knew where a couple of patures were and I thought this would be a breeze for me as well, but I guess not, and they all seemed to be in hiding..probably didn’t like the rain either. I was able to fulfill my challenge, but these poor guys wouldn’t win any beauty contest. I felt sorry for them all.

And finally these guys who were in a different spot, and high and dry, but I felt Mama needed a bit of weight on her.

I hope you all have a nice week ahead and a very Happy Thanksgiving.

Macro Monday

We picked this broccoli yesterday. There just isn’t anything like “fresh” vegetables.


The only way I could Ed to eat this was to put cheese sauce all over it!

Sunday Stills Challenge – Fins, Feathers & Fur

Well I didn’t know whether I’d be able to join everyone this weekend since my computer crashed last week, but I was lucky to be able to catch a few shots, and I was able to find a couple of shots I took that were in my husband’s archieves (I tooks the pictures) that I could use. I learned a really hard lesson this past week… backup your pictures!! I can’t explain the terrible feeling of losing all my family photographs.
Here are my challenge pics for this weekend.

And, finally my fur selections. Can anyone tell us the difference between fur and hair?
I hope you all are having as beautiful a weekend as we are. I’m planting tulip bulbs today.

Macro Monday

We took a lovely drive through Cades Cove in the Snokies yesterday and most of my photography was of beautiful vistas and primitive churchs, and the most exciting, deer. But I did find a couple of nature shots to use to todays Macro Monday. Enjoy.

Sunday Stills – Currency

After some scraping around for some money I was able to come up with a few coins, but little currency. My currency is a 2 dollar bill, a $1 silver certificate and a $20 gold certificate. Lots of different coins, both U.S. and foreign. Ed this was a tough one!

And, What happened to that Chinese cabbage……

Well friends I thought you might like to see what happened to that beautiful Chinese cabbage that I posted on Wordless Wednesday. After stripping all the huge outer leaves it looked exactly like the Napa cabbage you get in the grocery store! Hurray. Needless to say this was our first attempt at growing these beauties. She got chopped, rinsed and drained, and then this is what I did……

She became Stir-fried chinese cabbage with garlic and ginger, and some nice jumbo shrimp thrown in for color and taste. This turned out to be a very yummy dinner I must say.
