Photo of the Day

I am so so excited!!

This morning, I checked my email and I found that I have been awarded the Photo of the Day by the website:  Capture Wisconsin.  I get nothing except a cool little virtual badge and my photo featured on one of the home pages for this website.  It is a real honor, as the level of skill and artistic ability on that website is superb!  There are a bunch of fine Photographers who submit to capturewisconsin.  It is a great site if you enjoy seeing scenes of all different sorts from our gorgeous state!

Anyway, I am very excited.  There was a lot of silent yelling and fist pumping going on at 5 am!!  :)  I didn't want to wake the Mad-Accountant up after all!

I took the Photo on Sunday morning during my walk.  I decided to go back the same route as Saturday, because there was actually some sun and I wanted a nice snow picture of the stone house and also my favorite tree.  The sun does add a lot to everything!  I climbed the hill next to the house and I was actually squatting right down in the weeds to get this shot.  Good thing I have quads of steel now!!  HA!!!

Have a great day everyone, and bask in the joys that are presented with you today!!!  I don't know about you, but I will be counting my blessings today!

Capture Wisconsin is an awesome website that is for Wisconsin photographers, for Wisconsin scenes, but anyone can look at the site and vote!  Capturewisconsin.com has a lot for you to see.

Find your joy in unexpected places!  :)

Sunday Photos - 5/29 Graduation day and spring flowers are kicking in!

Sunday photos for this week are made up of a lot of flower pictures, some cloud photos and a miscellaneous graduation photo or two.  We sort of had sun, definitely rain and it has been somewhat warm.  Kind of.  Here are some of my favorite photos of the week.

I post regularly to a website called capturewisconsin.com which is a photo site that features the photographers and scenes from  Wisconsin.  It is a really great website and I highly recommend browsing through the pictures there.  And VOTE by clicking the "dig" button above each pix.  There is a contest that is finishing up tonight for macro-photography of flowers.  This is partly why there are so many flowers- and because it is finally sort of spring-like and they are coming right along!!  Yay for spring!
