County Fair Parade

Last month was our annual county fair. As always, there was a parade to kick things off, and I used it as an opportunity to practice my photography skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oak Ridge Habitat Area

Not too far from where we live, there is a nature reserve. Today I decided to go there and take some pictures. These are my best ones. I may go back again later in the season. I’m hoping there will be some flowers blooming I can take some pictures of.

This is the sign posted at the entrance.

I tried a few interesting shots of my car. This was the only one worth keeping.

 

I found some interesting rocks on the driveway.

 

 

 

I got so many of this tree. It was hard to decide which ones to keep and which ones to get rid of.

The textures were so interesting to look at.

This one turned out much better than I had hoped. I’m really happy with it.

I love my zoom lens. This would not be possible with the regular kit lens.

 

 

 

Yes, the shadow is in there on purpose.

 

I love this one.

I hope I didn’t fry my eyeballs too badly getting these pictures with the sun in them.

This one was so hard to get. This was my best one of this little bug, and it’s still a little blurry.

 

Last picture of the day.
