Photos

All righty, here comes the next batch.  After going through all my photos from the past week, I decided on pictures from only two days... but there's still quite a few.
     August 12th.  I was going on a photography "expedition", and Tikka came with me.  Then, when I got to the east end of the wheat field and looked up at the sun, I thought it was lined up perfectly with the wheat heads.

Then on my way back to the house, I went to a patch of yellow toadflax and took a couple shots of those.

Yesterday morning I wanted to get a bouquet of flowers for Mom, so I wandered around the property a bit and came back with this handful.  There are so many pretty wildflowers around at all times of the year!  This bouquet had daisies, clover, yellow toadflax, and alfalfa in it.

And yesterday evening's photos have a bit of a story behind them.  Just as we were finishing supper, somebody looked out the window and remarked on how neat the sky looked.  I took a couple of pictures and put my camera away.
     A short while after that, my brother came inside and asked if I wanted to take his place mowing the backyard.  I'll take any chance I get to mow - it's one of my favourite jobs - so I said yes and went outside.
     I'd done a few passes and was watching the sky every time I swung around the face the northwest.  The sky kept changing and the sun rays were shining in every direction, and the colours were so pretty.  Every time I turned to face that direction, the sky had changed a bit more and was even prettier than before.
     (A side-note to anyone who likes to mow straight lines across the yard - don't try watching a sunset and mowing at the same time.  Either stop the mower or forget having straight lines :D)
     I finally shut the mower off and went tearing up to the house to get my camera.  I came back, took a bunch of pictures, and then turned the mower back on and kept mowing.
     Except . . . the sky kept changing and I kept wanting to take more pictures, so I kept stopping the mower and picking my camera up again.
     I don't know how long this went on for before I just stopped the mower where I could see the whole sky, shut the machine off, and sat there watching the sunset.  I took a lot more pictures before the sun finally disappeared completely behind some storm clouds off in the distance, and then I finally was able to finish mowing.
     That story told, here are some of the best pictures I got of that gorgeous sky last night!  God's handiwork is so amazing!
