The Great Outdoors

in The Saturn Sky,You Capture

For this week’s You Capture challenge, we had to go outside and get creative.

So, instead of the ceremonial pictures of my sweet boys, I thought I’d change things up a bit.

This little feller poked his head out of the grass and I snuck up on him from behind. IF he would have decided to jump while I was all “National Geographic Photographer” on him, you probably would have heard me squeal no matter where you’re located.

Because. I. hate. frogs.

Actually, I’m not a fan of anything that makes its home out of doors, but frogs are way up there near the top of my list.

Just under birds.

I snapped about 14 pictures of this booger trying to get all creative with the macro setting, but I never got it to come out just the way I wanted.

Oh Nikon.

You are calling my name.

I’d love to take credit for these beauties, but alas, they are not mine.

Because beautiful flowers require watering, and well, that’s something I neglect to do when I have flowers.

Lazy, much?

While I have no earthly idea what my child is doing, I couldn’t resist this picture of the sun shining betweeen the trees.

And no picture of the great outdoors is complete without a picture of the sky.

You knew that was coming, didn’t you.

If you are by chance the owner of this car, can you call me, please? Mkay. Thanks.

Head over to I Should Be Folding Laundry to see some more of the great outdoors.

I love your shots! And your humor. :) The only flowers that have managed to stay alive around my home for more than a year are African violets. I figure it’s because a) they are in my kitchen window sill so their presence *will* register in my mind at least every few days and b) African violets do a little better with watering at night since water burns their leaves if it’s in sunlight at the time…and the evening is about the only time I don’t hear “MomMomMomMom” long enough to think about watering plants. I’ve actually had these for about 5 years now. It’s a record.

Oh, and I like the way you worded that…”Next week’s challenge: Mornings.” Because mornings are a challenge. ;)
