Rooster

Every farm needs a Rooster!

Down on the Farm

For this picture we had to take a little road trip. "We" meaning Jim, Tori, me, and Alexandra, who was behind the wheel. We headed out to Minonk, which is about 1 1/2 hours away, to take some pictures of the hay bales in the field that had caught my eye when I was out and about on Friday. Why so far away just for a picture? Well...because I have been looking at that field for the last couple of months thinking what a cool picture that would make and because it also gave Alexandra some drive time, which she truly enjoyed. And that made it all worthwhile.

Rule of Thirds

2nd Flickr Group-52 Weeks: The 2012 Edition
Topic: Rule of Thirds


At my favorite little lunch spot today and what do I spy?! What a beautiful creature. It appears he was having some lunch too, though I'm not sure what it is that he is snacking on. (Ewww)

Rule of Thirds:The basic idea behind Rule of Thirds is to think of a photo divided evenly into thirds.The Rule of Thirds tells us to place main elements where these lines intersect.  The concept is that by placing main elements and subjects at the power points it would create a more balanced photograph and engage the viewer more readily. The photograph would be more aesthetically pleasing and easy on the eye.

Gracie took Alexandra and Liz and me out to the "Rock". She wasn't absolutely sure where it was and had to get directions from her friend, so it was a bit interesting. Our first time in,we ended up back at the beginning of the trail. 2nd time in, she was determined we were going to find this place and we did! And a  large rock is exactly what it was. Cool place Gracie, thanks for the adventure!

In the Morning

On my desk at work sits this little smiley guy. When the sun shines in and hits the little solar panel, his head moves back and forth. Good Morning Sunshine!

Two-To-To-Tootsie Roll

Topic: 2

What better kind of two then a Tootsie Roll! 
I am still learning my new camera and took this picture on the Toy Camera setting. That just means that the edges are darkened. Works well for this picture I believe. As far as the Tootsie Rolls, I snatched them out of the candy jar at work. But I didn't eat them! Nope, they go back in the jar. I not fibbing, really I'm not... :)


Not sure why there is a white background around my picture. Click on the Flickr picture to see it the right way.
