Springtime hits Our Appalachian Mountains

Below are a few recent photos I took. The first is of a courting pair of robins- the male is brighter than the female on the left. They were in an apple tree.

A deer I saw quite a long way away... I always see at least one every time I go out for a ride in my chair through our rural area.

My little friend...a tufted titmouse who visits my feeders outside my windows every day, many times a day.  His cry is "Peter-Peter-Peter!" And he is one of my favorite birds. 

Lens Flare and Abstracts

I love this lens flare photo taken near my home. Silhouettes ad leafless trees are my favorite. Guess that's why I started this group on Instagram:

Here are some abstracts I created, using a stained glass lamp as my base then distorting it. This area of art is new to me. 

What do you think?

Here is one of my photos to help you get in the mood if you aren't! 

My buddy

I have been working on some old family photos and restoring them. this one is of my Grampa and me when he was in the hospital. It was not long before his death. I was five when he passed in August of 1962.

He was a soldier in both World Wars and then was the ice man for our small town in northeastern Kansas.
