Project 365....day 104

Ok, so this is the biggest game of catch-up I've ever had to play since I started this project! For the last 3-4 days I've had my pictures all ready to upload, only to make it here to my blog and find out I was missing my pictures for the 104th day! (doh!) So, FINALLY, here are my 365's for April 14th!

Cows are grazing...


Lakes have melted...


Farm fields are back in use!


Flowers are blooming!


Happy Spring!

Project 365....day 58

Ok, so as is becoming the usual for me on the weekends, I'm playing catch-up. This post is for yesterday's pictures, and today's will follow in it's own post. So yesterday I was cruisin' around with my camera, and happened across these cows outside enjoying the beautiful afternoon. (I know, I know, I have a thing for cows. That has already been established. Moving on...) Anyway, I could not resist these cows or these captures, I hope you love them also! ♥

Project 365....day 10

Another day, another 365 post from me. Today was the last day of my work week(end) and I was there all day long....literally, I went in about an hour after I got up, and got out about 30 minutes before it was completely dark out. Blegh. What a way to spend a Sunday, huh? Anyway...I took my camera to work with me today, hoping to catch at least a few interesting things....

This first shot is the picture I set out to get when I decided to take my camera to work...this is the Fireside Mascot, all covered in snow.



This second picture is of the funky cow outside the front door of the resturant I work at. He's pretty cool, and you can't see it, he's holding up a chalk board that says "Thank you, Come Again Soon!" or something of that nature...

Some bonus shots...

That did not make it into the 365 post today. I got 4 up, and called that plenty, but then my poor sick husband and recovering-from-the-virus kids went to bed, and little old me had nothing to do but edit pictures! I know, so exciting, huh? Anywhere, here are a few extra from today's shoot. <3 Enjoy!

This is one of two pictures that I edited of my friends the cows after the fact. Love the contrasts between the blacks and whites with the snow.



Cow #2 is ready for her close-up!

Project 365....day 4

So, yesterday turned out to be an eventful day for me! I posted here, then yesterday afternoon went out to try to get some pictures in the snow....not only did I not get any *great* pictures, but I also slid off the road and got stuck in a snowbank! (doh!) I am fine, and so, thank God, is my car, and I am so lucky that 2 amazingly kind guys stopped to help me, since I had no cell service. (stupid living in the mountains!) Anyway....needless to say, yesterday afternoon's shoot wasn't so great, but today's was a totally different story! I got out for a couple of hours today, and even though it was freezing, it was a pretty sunny day, and I got some awesome shots...or at least I think so. hahaha. Anyway...on with the photo(s) of the day!

This is a shot from my second location today...I started off here shooting the barn and the fields, and then found myself some furry cow friends to capture...



This is another from my second location today. I am such a sucker for the wide open fields that come along with dairy farms. Not to mention the beautiful, exposed branches on the trees. They give it such a nice contrast.



Here is a landscape view of across the road from the last shot. In the distance is the Sacandaga lake.



This shot is from the third location I visited today. I love the way the cattails look with the snow built up around them.
