30 Photo Journey XXI: Silhouette

At first glance it might look like a real horse. It is in fact Stormageddon's stunt double. I had tried to get her for the shoot but her agent said she was unavailable due to concerns about traveling right now. I'm very pleased with the results I got from her stunt double and will be recommending her for a raise. 

30 Photo Journey XX: Sunrise

Being at the mercy of nature for a decent sunrise I was tickled to snap this one morning just before running out the door to work. I was a bit miffed that a bird came a by and spoiled my photo until I took a second look. I think the bird added something to it since we were lacking some clouds for character that morning. 

A good sunrise is hard to come by but I managed to get another one.

30 Photo Journey XIX: Faceless Self Portrait

Since you can't see my beautiful face I gave you lots of color to see.

So I'm curious as to how one is expected to take a faceless self portrait. Isn't a portrait by definition of one's face? I may have cheated here since you can still see my eyes but they are my best feature so here's my version of a faceless self portrait.

The beautiful colors you see here were curtesy of someone very special many years ago. Every time I see these colors it takes me back to some of my favorite memories. 

30 Photo Journey XVIII: A Good Habit

Enough said.

I couldn't decide which one I liked better so you get them both.

30 Photo Journey XVII: Changes To Come

Ah, Spring on the mountain. Where its just wet and muddy for a month as the snow melts making rivulets everywhere and crocuses and daffodils don't emerge until a month or two after the rest of the world.

You know Spring is in the wings when the Robins return. (Pun intended) These poor birds were all set for warm weather but it keeps snowing. They seem to be finding enough worms and grubs today amid the snow on the ground and you can't see it in the photo but it was actually flurrying when I took this picture.

30 Photo Journey XVI: Animals

This is my pony Stormageddon. She loves the camera, she'd love it more if she could eat it. 

A girl after my own heart.

Since Animals are so unpredictable and uncooperative I will admit to cheating a little bit and reusing two photos I took of Trigger last year. These photos were rather wonderful and since I just spent an hour trying to get a photo of Trigger doing ANYTHING other than hiding under the desk, I feel okay about reusing these photos I managed to get on a day he was being slightly more cooperative.

This is Triggers typical pose. I pulled out my camera and this is what 

he did for the next hour. 

                           Our station dog.

He's really not very adventurous. He mostly sits around looking pretty.

30 Photo Journey XV: Clouds

I love clouds. I could watch them all day long.

A day without clouds always makes me sad. 

Thankfully this wasn't one of those days.

I also love a little color in my clouds.
