This next one - the deer silhouetted in the shot below - is being entered in the Favorite Photo of the Week Contest. Wish me luck!
I'm also sharing it at SOCC Saturday.
The original photo was taken in color, but I think I like it better in B&W. How about you? I've shared this edit at Before and After.
This week, I've learned a bit about patience and persistence. I've taken to driving "aimlessly" around the countryside with "new eyes"... eyes that are ready to see something "photogenic" in the midst of the ordinary. What have you learned this week? Share it at Click It Up A Notch!!!
These photos are being shared at some wonderful photo challenges - such as the Fabulous Friday Challenge - that I hope you'll visit. Links to them can be found on a page devoted solely to hops, memes, and challenges for every day of the week. Check under my header for the link to that page! And please let me know if I'm missing any!

I love your pictures. I am now following you from the Wednesday blog hop.

I love your image of the deer, dreamlike.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photo's. My nickname is Doe so I love the deer. I hope you win the contest.
ReplyDeleteYour deer shot is wonderful! There's something wrong with the link on Favorite photo of the week. It said it went to a page that doesn't exist. Glad I found you though - you pictures are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love the sunflowers!!
ReplyDeleteThey are ALL exquisite captures, but I have a special fondness for deer ... so I pray you win with that fabulous shot!
ReplyDeleteHappy PS weekend ~

ReplyDeleteHello Dahlink, what a fabulous blog you have here. I found you through the 'Just Winging It' Blog Hop.
ReplyDeleteYou have got some cracking photographs there. I love the pine-cone, and I prefer the last photo of the flower in colour rather than black and white. For some reason, it has more depth in colour.
Anyway, I am now following you.
Hope you can stop by and vist me too ;-)
