{Create} May Photo Hunt

Mom and I spent Memorial Day at our favorite spot taking a few pictures of the beautiful spring time bounty at Rancho San Rafael state park in Reno. My challenge to myself was to play with light and composition.  Here are a few pictures I wanted to share.

The covered bridge near the entrance to the arboretum is one of my favorite places to photograph.



These Oriental Poppies were just gorgeous. I loved how the light went through the delicate leaves.



I love taking pictures of roses when the light is shining in through the top like it was here. The shadow play is amazing.
Same rose from a different angle and a bit closer up. I took this one to practice drawing or painting at some point.



Mom and I kept hearing turkeys... I remembered that the park had been raising them in the barn that was a part of the original ranch. Isn't he handsome?

His lady was out in one of the paddocks taking a sun bath... when we walked up she dropped to the ground, stretched out and started chirping.
I couldn't resist getting a few pictures of the ducks...


I hope you enjoyed these pictures.
Love always,
Miss B
