The theme for the week is spring and it sure doesn’t feel like spring around here. I think we may have had one day above freezing all week. The birds are starting to make their appearance in the area. We even saw snow geese by Devils Lake, ND. The snow is still leaving us with the intense rays from the sun, believe it or not! Here are my pics from the week…
It turns out our granddaughter, Mollie-Jayne is like the rest of the girls in the family. She loves eating at the Japanese steak house too! I think she had 3 plates of noodles!
Sadie Sadie Sadie. She fell asleep with her head in my purse.
The boys had a haircut day. This is the shortest time they’ve gone in between cuts – only 3 months!
Saturday we headed north to Canada for parts. I love the signs they use. We don’t have cool signs like this to get the point across.
Sunday afternoon we went for an airplane ride. Below is Frost Fire Mountain Ski Area in the Pembina Gorge.
Yet another one of my sunrise pictures as it was about to emerge from the horizon.
The view from our mailbox. I’ve been trying to capture the snow melting by taking a picture from the same spot every few days. The snow is not melting in our yard – we have one big sheet of ice! I thought it was neat the way this one turned out with the sun similar to Sarah’s last week. I also found that 1/60 shutter speed seems to be the right setting on my 18-55mm lens for the sun-rays. The little specs in the sky are from my pitted windshield and a lens flare. I dug out my 18-55mm lens this week, it had been neglected and not used for quite a few months. Sometimes we all need a new perspective!
Mindi posted a video about Challenge 2 – Shutter Speed last week. This is my capture for the shutter speed challenge. I hope to play with motion blur more in the future. It didn’t come out quite as I had hoped, but it was still a great learning opportunity!
Hope you’re having a great week!
