Project 365 ~ Day 1

I've decided that I'm going to do Project 365 all over again :)

Back in 2007 I took a single photo every day, posting it on my old blog for an entire year and it was a lot of fun. I haven't quite decided if I'm going post a photo every day though or a weekly post sharing a weeks worth of photos in one shot this time around but here is my first one for 2011!

These amazing little shards of ice coming out of the ground are all over today. It is so cold here right now that the ground is eroding and pushing up in places leaving deep crevices around rocks and these beautiful little patches of ice shards. They're thin like little razor sharp needles yet so delicate that the littlest bit of pressure causes them to snap.

If you are participating Project 365 let me know! I would love to see your photos. I've also created a new page link above just under my blog header titled 'project 365' where you can click at anytime to catch up on new photos so that you don't have to search through my blog to find them. I still can't believe that it's 2011! It seems like it was just the other day when there was all that talk about Y2K and now it's already 11 years later. Time must really fly when you are having fun *grin*.

Hugs,

Photos around the farm

It was a lazy day around here today. Just a bunch of housework and I didn't really think that you wanted to see pictures of me buried under the Mount Everest sized pile of laundry so I thought I'd share some recent photos that I took around our property :)

Weathered old fence posts still standing strong despite their outward condition. They've got character now and so much more interesting with their lumps of moss.

The old cattle truck in its final resting place behind the chicken coop. It's becoming one with nature as the moss, vines and trees grow in around it.

The most beautiful red berries along the trail to the bottom field. They were everywhere amongst the fallen maple leaves and ferns.

Random piles of elk droppings throughout the fields from the fence crashing intrusive beasts. Such beautiful animals to see but oh so destructive. They can rip up a wet field in spring with their hooves and graze down all the grass in summer in the blink of an eye.

Have a lovely weekend!

Some Of My Favorite Nature Photos

I am completely crazy about nature and taking photos, but I think I've found a way to do both and share some of it with you as well :) I just finished having a bunch of my recent favorites printed up on acid free & archival safe paper and put them into my Etsy shop ~ RosyUndPosy :) Now they won't be just collecting dust in the photo albums on the book shelf, plus it makes hubby happy to see that all that happy snapping I do every day is bringing a little nature joy to others as well *grin*.
