Silhouettes come in all shapes and sizes. A sunset is a perfect place for a silhouette. This one was taken from the steps of my back yard as a lark. Which one looks better to you? Or do they all look crappy? 🙂

Comments are welcome.

There are a number of types of current, all related to the flow of something. For instance, there are river currents, electric currents, the flow of time (the number one definition in dictionary.com) and air currents.

Below are two examples of air currents as related to chemtrails. (Contrails disperse after a very short distance and fade away, as they consist of water vapor.)

In the first photograph, we have quite an anomaly. The chemtrail shows an impossible shift in direction, or it may be that the plane suddenly changed directions, however unlikely. In the second photograph, we have more regular air current dispersals.

But back to the first photograph. This chemtrail, in both of its directions, is quite straight. It show very little air current deviation.

It’s hard for me to imagine any kind of air current that could accomplish such a feat. It’s also hard for me to imagine any kind of aircraft that could accomplish such a feat, except, perhaps, a UFO. However, UFOs, at least from the purported photographs I have seen, do not leave chemtrails.

If you have any ideas what could have caused such a course deviation, I’ve love to hear from you. And, no, I did not doctor up the photographs, except to darken it just enough to make the chemtrails a little more clear. I’m not that good.

Thursday I went about the farm with my camera, determined to find something to take a photograph of. There wasn’t much of a photographic nature, everything wearing a coat of brown, left over from fall.

But I was determined and just started shooting away at everything that looked just a bit different. I walked around a farm pond and started taking photographs of reflections in the water, as it wasn’t otherwise very photogenic.

Imagine my surprise, when the next day the new photo challenge was Reflections. So, I uploaded my photographs to the computer and started looking through them and came across a number of these reflection ones.

And here they are. I hope you enjoy them.

Finally, looking down upon a stream that borders the property.

The perspective of light and dark. They both have their place. Light gives more meaning to the subject, in terms of data, information. Darkness brings a certain spookiness to a subject, depending on the subject.

That is my intent here. Did I succeed? Comments are welcome.

This week’s theme was a little disconcerting until I actually read The Daily Post’s invite. So, I guess what it boils down to is that everything in life is a matter of perspective—our own!

That being said, I decided to do the two-photos challenge: up close and perhaps unfamiliar and back aways to get a more accurate rendering of the entire scene. I hope you enjoy.

One of my favorite times of the year is when communities of beautiful wildflowers pop up from their winter prisons, like these bloodroot blossoms in a nearby forest bottoms from last Spring.

With Spring comes new life, and with new life comes new beauty, and with new beauty comes new youth and energy.

No matter how old one is, Spring brings with it a youthful energy that has us perking up, smiling more, and doing things . . . like Spring cleaning. What other time of year does one have the energy for that?

And within every community exists sub-communities that feed off from one other. And isn’t this what makes the world go ’round?

Every once in awhile I like to take photographs of spacial things, if that’s the right word—things with lines, angles, that sort of thing.

I pass by this fence every day at least once. It’s always been intriguing to me. One day I brought my camera with me to see what I could do.

What I wound up with seems to fit this week’s photo challenge, so here it is. I hope you like it.

I didn’t think much when I took this photograph until later when I went through the batch of which it was part. I had to smile. It was certainly a surprise to see that head floating there with no body. I hope you enjoy it.

Here’s the last bit of color before the fall storms came in, blowing much of the leaves off the trees.

In the past thirty-eight years I’ve lived in Utah, SW Iowa and NW Missouri, this is the first time all the fall colors came together. It was awesome.

Spring is still my favorite season for two reasons:
1. Winter has ended; and
2. New life is evident everywhere, and not only in nature. I think people tend to come out of hibernation as well.
