Hello and welcome!
It's been a while since I managed to join in Lysha's I Spy Photo challenge! In February we got got hit by the coldest temperatures of the year which seemed to last forever and I was just uninspired to take pictures. I did snap a few around the house and outside the door for some of the prompts given but they weren't enough and I just never got around to completing them all!
By the way, if you're here to view my latest card for Allsorts challenge which I shared earlier today you can view it here or simply scroll down.
And then of course my favorite way of taking photos is with my DSLR camera but as you can imagine I don't carry that with me on a regular basis when out and about, and I rarely think to snap photos with my phone...
But I'm happy to have managed to snap enough pictures for this week's prompts. I'm also sharing a few photos I've taken for previous prompts at the end of the post :-)
This week's prompts are:
- Texture
- fun
- tall
- shoes
- your choice
Last weekend we had some beautiful spring like weather and I decided that it was the perfect time to go on a late winter hike to Iowa's Wildcat Den State Park. Well, it turned out to be not so perfect after all as there still was so much snow on the trails and if not snow then mud which made it all very slippery even though we had somewhat decent trail shoes. So we only hiked one trail and then turned around and went to a nearby shopping mall instead. 3 out of 5 of today's pictures are from our hike.
I Spy -Texture
The Texture on a cliff inside the "Devil's Punch Bowl" at Wildcat Den State Park.
I Spy - Fun
My husband having fun hiking on a late winter day (last weekend). (Although in this photo he was trying not to slip on the muddy grounds.)
I Spy -Tall
A look up at the tall trees.
I just love this photo so much, the way the sun hits the tree tops!
I Spy - Shoes
One of my daughter's old pairs of Pointe shoes.
I Spy - My Choice
My beautiful snowdrops in my backyard just started to bloom this past week!
A few bonus photos I've taken for some February challenges which I never shared!
I Spy - Weather:
I love the sparkles in the snow and the blue shadows! It's easy to tell it was freezing outside!
I Spy - Writing:
I'm in the process of re-writing favorite recipes into a new cookbook.
I Spy - Corners:
Corners made up by the tulip's petals.
I Spy - Alive
This little guy was so thankful for the old bread I had given him. He just sat her on the bannister and allowed me to take his picture.
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by my blog today! By the way, anyone can join in this fun photo challenge, you can find all the details on Lysha's blog!
All photos were taken with a Canon DSLR camera.
