I am having trouble deciding on a favorite.

Just Playing
Allan and I were able to explore Colorado National Monument a little. I wish we had more time, there were so many neat things to see!
Since I have a little free time, I am experimenting with different filters and editing tools. This one used sepia with a mono mixer.
What do you think?
Praying Mantis
One of the hundreds newly emerged praying mantis from the oothecae Audrey found and brought in to overwinter.
Klaus with Moth
Megan discovered this beautiful moth while we were walking. We are hoping that Klaus learns to love butterflies and moths and much as Audrey does.
Spring Flowers
I finally have some time to catch up on pictures I took earlier this spring. The white flowers are Star of Bethlehem (I think). The blues are Forget Me Nots and the red ones Columbine.
Scenery
Some of the views from Colorado National Monument. I am ready to go visit again!
Destination: Wedding
A year ago, I started a 1000 portrait challenge. I asked a new friend if I could take her picture. When she received the picture, she commented that it was the first picture in a long time that she liked of herself.
A few months later she wrote me, saying her daughter was getting married and would I do the wedding photographs. Last month, Allan (my very handsome assistant) and I went to Fruita, Colorado to take photos of Leigh and Cody’s May 4th wedding.
The small wedding was at Colorado National Monument which is beautiful! The couple enjoy Star Wars, so we also threw in some Star Wars type pictures for fun.
“Tea Party”
I have seen a few pictures in this style. It was a challenging way to show off my Modra ceramics and end up with a unique picture of Klaus.
“Prairie Tree”
I wanted to experiment and try some pictures with this dead tree by Grandma’s house. We learned a few important things during our trials. Number one, get close. Secondly, make sure the ball is up high. Third, be careful, the sun burns extremely quickly!
“Mouse Ears”
I was so excited to find forget me nots while hiking near Fruita, Colorado this last week.
