When Lightning Strikes Twice

Two bolts of lightning connect the heavens and earth as an electrically charged storm moves towards Winfield from the north.

Over The Fence

So I ended up finding one more shot from yesterday that I liked, and thought I'd share it. This one is a little busy, but something about it has a certain charm, or at least to me it does.

Flowery 'V'

Pink flowers forming the shape of the letter 'V'.

Dreamscape in Pink

A light and airy, dreamy look at a tree flowering in spring.

Lightfall

Light cast down on the fallen leaves, highlighting some and casting others into darkness.

Red

Layers of leaves, turned red and fallen away.

Shifting Seasons

Seasons shifting from autumn to winter. Green, to orange, to white.

Dreams of Autumn - Standing Out

Fall brings many changes. North winds that bring cooler temperatures, the days get shorter, and the leaves begin to change. The latter is something I often fail to photograph, so this year I'm making at least a little bit of an effort to go out and capture some of those lovely Autumn hues.

Blue and Gold

Went for a short photowalk around sunset and happened to really like the colors that were coming out here.

Sprig

A bit of pine growing through the dead pine needles.

Life and Shadows

Shadows cast through the back of a small white flower.

Last Light on the Ground

Little rays of golden sunlight slip through the cracks of a fence, dotting and dashing the smallest of highlights across the foliage on the (what can sometimes look like, but definitely isn't a) forest floor.

Spotlight

The sun catching and illuminating a leaf out of the many around it, highlighting it in the golden glow of the last direct light of the evening.

White and Yellow

The smallest splash of yellow amid a sea of white.

Spring in Bloom

A quick photo of (what I assume are) redbuds in bloom. Sure sign of spring.

Yellow Tendrils

I wasn't aware before taking this shot, but dandelions can be kinda creepy. Those little yellow tendrils look like they're flailing around.

Blue and Yellow

Another photowalk flower shot. In this case I loved the virbant colors, and the way the clouds in the background just disappeared into a blur.

Black and Blue

A shot I took on the East Lansing Worldwide photowalk. I love the way the flowers just blend into the blown-out sky, creating a sense of motion.
