I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Tonight is family movie night for us, yippee! And we didn’t have to gather eggs today… yippee again! XD Anyway, today I wanted to show you a collection of photos from around our farm. It’s so beautiful here, even in winter. โฅ ๐ Enjoy!
We call this the Island because it’s an island of trees in the middle of the field. XD
Golden hour. โฅ
Mini nature study/farm lesson: all the green stuff in these fields is triticale (pronounced trit-ih-KAY-lee).So pretty! โฅ
There’s a cute little picturesque white church just over the hill from us. I wish it was our church – we could just walk right over on Sundays! ๐ But sadly, it isn’t.The rest of these pictures are from a hidden, rather muddyย pond in one of the fields. ๐It is quite hard to get into because it’s surrounded by brush and thorns and cedar trees. But it’s so secluded and neat once you get in.
I have no idea what these are, but they’re so cute!
I also found this weird gall on a cedar tree. Mini nature study lesson again: galls are made by certain insects that secrete a sort of chemical or irritant that makes the branch or leaf puff up into a gall. This protects the larva or insect inside. Doesn’t this one look kind of likeย a brain? XD
Ahhh, I love moss so much!
The boys were throwing rocks in the pond, and I had fun getting pictures of the splashes. XD
And thus we come to the end. ๐ Which picture was your favorite? I hope you enjoyed them! ๐

P. S. The girls and I over at The Art Lab decided to put on a little contest for you guys. ๐ Your goal is to create an imaginary creature named the “Wuzzing,” and whoever’s Wuzzing gets the most votes becomes Art Lab’s official mascot! ๐ Click here for more details. I can’t wait to see all your wonderful Wuzzings, and show you mine too. XD
Me toooo! Isn’t Chip hilarious!
But… oops! I forgot that Mom and Dad were going out to eat with some friends, so the kids are just having movie night by themselves, and I don’t know what we’ll watch… hmm.
Ah, Allison, you always inspire me to get out my camera and take nature shots! Your photos are so beautiful – you have such a wonderful talent! Never stop being amazing, please! XD
Your photography is top-notch as usual!! ๐ ๐ ๐ I โค โค โค it!! My favorite was the one of the moss, but I loved them all! That gall looked really creepily like a brain! Ew! ;P
Really pretty! My sister, who blogs at https://iryschicksblog.wordpress.com/ just did a post about winter where we are. She is really into photography too.
Ooh, pretty photos! It’s nice and sunny here, too, although I’m too lazy to go outside and photograph anything. XD
(What movie are you watching?)
