The First Signs of Spring

Hello friends!

I have a lush little photoshoot to share with you today. I know it’s only the beginning of February, but I’m already excited for spring. I’ve spotted a bunch of daffodil spears poking up around my yard as well as lots of weed flowers sprinkling the grass.

At this point in the year, most of the signs of spring are tiny and easily missed, so I decided to capture them with my favorite macro extension tubes (aff. link). Enjoy this macro nature photography!

Woodland Treasures {A Forest Photoshoot}

Hello friends!

One of my favorite places to take my camera is into the woods. Even in winter there are so many beautiful things to discover, from the tiniest moss florets to the tallest tangled trees. I had so much fun photographing bits of beauty a few weeks ago and wanted to share some with you today.

Enjoy a pretty dose of natural wonders. ❤

A Collection of Spring Raindrops

Hello friends!

I have a lush, springy photoshoot for you today. I was going to go out and take pictures of a sunny spring day when… it rained. So I got out my macro lens kit instead and took some close-up pictures of the water drops! I love how they turned out.

Enjoy this peaceful little photo collection. 🙂

Explore with Me 005 | Nature Collecting

Hello, my friends!

It’s been so long since I’ve done an “explore with me” post. Remember those? I started this series to motivate myself (and you!) to get outside, even when it’s not super appealing, like in winter. I take you guys with me on a walk around our farm, adding in a little twist or art/photography prompt that you can try where you live as well.

Today’s prompt is to bring a bag, tote, or other container along on your walk and collect things you find interesting. If you live in the city, it could be man-made bits and pieces – coins, old papers, a lost toy, etc. – but since I live in the country and have plenty of woods to roam through, I decided to collect some nature.

(Please note, of course, to take only what is allowed where you live! A park is not the best place to collect specimens of live plants, for instance. 😉 If you have a decent-sized yard, you can find interesting things just outside your house, on your own land.)

So, want to see what I found in the woods? Let’s go!
