How nice to be able to look out of the windows of this home and watch the snow geese. What a perfect view!

This wreath and the row of trees caught my eye one day last week when I was driving on the road alongside the cemetery. I forgot about it until the snow came over the weekend and then I decided to take a ride and see if my vision was what I expected when I was in the cemetery and closer to the subject. Seeing all of the Christmas wreaths with bright red bows decorating the graves reminds of those I am missing this holiday season … and every day of the year.

Leading lines are those elements that ‘lead’ your eye to a particular part of an image. In this case, the path and fence draw my eye toward the buildings. The first building that I notice is the lighter stone building as the eye naturally goes to the brightest area of a photo first. For me, however, there are enough bright areas in this image (building, white picket fence, clouds, frames of windows) for my eye to scan the whole scene and not focus on just one area. This was a beautiful spot for photography!

…May flowers, of course! Even a rainy day in May is epic at the local garden center! There are so many wonderful plants and flowers that I want to bring home for my garden! I saw Mr. Groundhog in the front yard the other evening and so I don’t know how many flowers would survive once he finds out that the garden buffet is open for dinner!
