Boyishly Girly

The first picture was taken by my younger brother and the second picture I took. I like these pictures because it both what guy/boys like toads (and some girls) and flowers which is usually what ladies/girls like, the contrasting combination stood out to me as unique. :)  What do you think?

Female American Toad (Mother?) and Roses

American Toad (child?) and Lily

Note: these pictures where not taken on the same day but both toads where sighted in the same area (the flower bed in our front yard).

I was blessed earlier this week to take pictures of these elegantly beautiful creations of God!  The first picture I took months ago but yesterday I was able to capture the last three pictures and was enough to complete my gallery for this post. :)

Summer is here, what do most people think of when they hear the word Summer? Sunshine! 

So since yesterday was the first day of Summer in the USA I thought I'd post something yellow. :)

Forsythia Flower

Storm Clouds

Which is your favorite?

Full Color

Black and White

And just for fun I had the colors inverted :)
 (to me it almost looks this could have been taken from above the clouds)

Another Sunset (from last Wednesday)

A much more traditional sunset but still beautiful non the less. :)

Which version of this sunrise photo do you like better?

Sunrise take about a year ago during a church men's retreat. :)

Edited version (I think it gives it more of a heavenly glow. :)

     Thought I'd post something a little different, sunrises and sunsets are some of my favorite things to photograph as it displays the beautiful "sky art" painted by God's hand everyday!

Sunset during the rain taken last night. :)

Here is the same picture after editing. :)
