Here is my first entry for this month’s Photo Blogging Challenge with the theme of Look Up. I spend a lot of time looking up at trees even without my camera just appreciating the fact that I can see so much detail in them now that I have glasses, and with my love of nature photography, I spend a lot of time photographing trees and flowers! Hope you enjoy these photos!

Here’s my entry for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Hot and/or Cold. I chose two photos for this challenge that, in my eyes, combine the concepts of hot and cold. This is Lake Ontario in late spring, when the last of the snow banks are finally melting and SUNY Oswego students are rejoicing because [for the most part] they don’t have to worry about snow or whiteouts anymore until next winter, and the temperatures are a generous amount above zero for the first time since November. So, maybe think of Katy Perry’s, “Hot N Cold” when you think of Oswego. 😀

Here is my entry for the 52 Weeks Photo Challenge: Week 36 – Simple Things. I decided to focus my entry on the beauty I have been discovering recently in things that a lot of people never think about (or look at.) Weeds! They are often right beneath our feet when we are walking on grass, and even though [some] might be pesky to gardeners, they really are quite gorgeous.

Here is my flower of the day for today! Lilacs blooming in my neighbor’s yard! Unfortunately these lilacs had wilted within a few days of this picture, but they were still beautiful to look at!
