Rocky Mountain

Not only is this a rocky mountain, but it is in the Rocky Mountain Mountain Range. This mountain is very similar to other mountains. There is not much snow on the mountain and its rocks are showing. During this theme, some pictures might have better quality than others. Since I don't want to take my big camera up on the mountain, I will be using a much smaller camera. Once I get off of the mountain, I will be using my big camera.

Full Bloom

Another flower that bloomed was this one. Like the rose, the colors go from light pink to dark pink. These bright pinks make the flower standout against the other flowers. They are bright and contrast the dark branches they are on.

Rose

As I continue to take pictures of the mountain and the surrounding terrain, I am going to post a few more pictures of the spring bloom in Texas. This rose is fully bloomed and in its prime and it is only the second week in March. It has been a hot winter. There were only two days with freezing precipitation. There was not any snow, but any water that was on the ground, froze several times.

Perfect Pink

This is another one of the blooming flowers that are in full bloom and in full color. The flower has a perfect pink color. The bottom is a dark pink then as you move your eyes upon the flower the pink turns to a lighter pink. You can sort of see the light pink inside of the flower. While I might be posting today, this was a scheduled post. I am driving to Colorado to enjoy the snow and the mountains. This coming week, except the beginning, because I might not have pictures yet, will be filled the snow and mountains. The snow conditions should be more than last year. The temperatures are around 40 with periodic snow days. I hope to post as many awesome snow pictures as I can.

Pink Flowers

This was another one of the trees that has bloomed. Shooting from underneath the pink flower and into the gray cloudy sky, made the flower turn to a very dark pink. You can just barely differentiate the color between the flower and the branch. It is clear to see what the different parts are because they have different shapes, but besides that, they look very similar.

Full Bloom

Some trees are started to bloom earlier this year. The temperatures have been around or over 60℉ for the past two weeks. There has also been lots of rain. Both of these things seem to be helping the flowers and tree grow. That means more colorful pictures of flowers and trees as they bloom and show themselves to the world.

Color

This small bush has lots of colors all on it. From the purple stock out, there is more purple of the leaves than green on the tips of the leaves. At the very top and in the middle are some small yellow-green buds. Thue bush is definitely not lacking in color.

Bush Lettuce

This small bush looks very much like a head of lettuce. The only difference I can viable see is the leaves on this head are white and green. On a head of lettuce, the head is mostly green with a few white spots. Maybe I found a wild lettuce. I doubt it, it is probably just a wild small bush that looks like lettuce.

Small Bird, Big World

I wonder how these small birds see the world. Are we giants to them? If we are, then trees must be humongous. If you click the picture, you can see all of the smalle details on the bird. This includes the grass, the feathers on the bird, and the beak. It is a very sharp and focused picture. The only thing that is blurry is the front grass and the concrete behind the bird.

Looking Back

As I crept closer to try and get a close picture of this squirrel, the squirrel ran up a tree. I shot from far away but I was close enough to be able to see the tiny details on it. Then I was taking the pictures, the squirrel turned around and stared at me. Afterward, he ran up the tree and out of sight.

Early Bird

This early crow was able to get his worm. In his beak is a tiny worm. The crow was resting on the porch when he swooped down and grabbed this worm. He flew back to the fence then started to eat. Unlike yesterday's picture of the all black crow, this crow has several colors on him. The blue/black wings, the black body, and the gray beak.

American Crow

During the middle of the day, I looked on the powerline and saw this crow. When I was taking the pictures, you could see the different colors on the crow. When I downloaded the picture, all of the colors on the bird turned black. You can still see the lighter black beak and same of the yellow eye but everything else is pitch black.

Red Bird

This red bird has everything a photographer and bird watcher would want. The bright red body, the perfect black ring around the light red mouth and the long tall. I was first taking pictures through a tree then I relocated and moved to this location. The red bird was pecking at the nuts before flying away.

Birds

As I was biking just off of the trail, I heard several bird sounds. I turned my bike around to the sound of the birds. I saw two crows chasing a hawk. They chased the hawk. When the hawk landed, the birds sat next to the hawk. When the hawk took flight, the crows would attack it then this process would repeat.

Multi Sunset

I like the other sunset pictures, but this picture has deeper colors. That is what I like the most about this picture. The deep and rich colors draw your eyes around the colorful clouds. Today I am moving to another house. I will not have the access to the trail I use to bike to far places, but I will still be able to take great pictures.

Single Ear Stud for Athena

I know I don't normally post on Sunday's, but I am going to ask you for a favor today. I participated in a Latin contest yesterday and I won fifth place with this photo. I am proud of that but I feel I can do better. Could you take a minute and add a comment about what would make this a better image? I can change almost anything about this image. One of the obvious fixes is centring the ear stud. Anything else?

Layered Sunset

I turned my camera to the left and found this layered section of the sunset. There are three layers in this picture. The bottom is the red sunset, then there is blue sky, then the semi-colored clouds. This pattern seems to repeat itself as you move from the bottom of the picture up.

Deep Red

As the sunset continued, the colors changed again. The dark red moved behind the trees. I like how the trees just grow on the picture with the sunset behind. If I could retake this picture, I would zoom in closer on the branches and have the branches divide the picture.

Red Sunset

This is the same sunset that has been in the previous days of pictures. The only difference is, I moved to a different spot. As I raced from one spot to another to photograph, the sunset changed dramatically. The once light yellow sunset turned into a deep red. It was like the sunset waited for me to arrive at the new location before showing its full effects.

Sharp Sunset

When the sunset occurs, all other objects go into silhouettes. I focussed on the once brown branch, that had now turned black. We can see every tiny detail on the branch and we can see some of the details on the trees in the background. Above the background trees is the cloudy sunset. This picture is basically split into four parts, the foucssed tree branch, the background blurred trees, the lower sunset, and the cloudy sunset.
