portrait of an afternoon in may
I was on the front porch earlier, enjoying the horses snorting and the sunshine. As I turned to come in the house, this caught my eye. A magical painting of the same scene I'd just been viewing.
Thank you, Mamie. I have gotten a lot of mileage out of my digital camera, even though I still prefer my old Nikon FM and film. One day I'm going to get my huge case of old negatives out and go down to the rent-a-darkroom space and make one big portfolio of all my prints. A retrospective. :)
(why oh why did I give my darkroom equipment away when I moved back from California???)
That is a nice view. Whew, glad you are okay in regards to the twister! I am glad we don't have those. For some reason I have always had a strong fear of them! That movie was really good.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment - I love reading them and respond as often as I can. I also love comments that add to the original post, so feel free to share your own experiences, insights, and thoughts.
That's a really neat picture in the octagon window. Glad you caught it.
ReplyDeleteThank you - it was very much like capturing a piece of the day.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you see things, Billie. Thanks for taking the time to capture it for us.

ReplyDeletePony Girl, I remember the flying cow from the movie and had images of flying horses and donkeys in my head when the wind became strong.
ReplyDeleteFortunately it did not last long!
Beautiful. I love seeing what you see through your camera. . .
ReplyDeleteThanks, Matthew. This one is like your landscapes, in miniature.
