I’m taken in by the “little” wonders

Brandi posted about finding beauty this week. That got my photo loving side kickin’ in.
I’m *always* up for a fun photo adventure!
So I went on a mini walkabout after a rain & while it was still cool enough outside.
Journey with me (you can click on the photo to see the full-size version):
-
- little cluster of pebbles
-
- don’t touch, they will poke you!
-
- my magic feet (plus a reflection!)
-
- bring on the yellow!
-
- first take on a shot I was trying. *wink* ended up diggin’ it though
-
- little boy marching (see the teddy?)
-
- burst of color
-
- link love
-
- don’t let them fool you. they are prickly.
-
- not a great idea to lay in your neighbors yard to get what you think is a “cool shot”! *snort*
-
- i can’t describe just how vibrant these pretty blooms are. awesome.
-
- hey, don’t run me over~
A funny thing happened while I was strolling around looking for neat things to capture. I saw these 2 pine cones in one of my neighbors’ yard (she lives down the block a bit). Being me, I wanted to make the shot more dynamic. So I scooched down on my knees at the corner edge of the yard.
This particular neighbor is an older woman who I don’t know all that well. I’m framing the shot & the next thing I know there is yelling from the house that I better get out of her yard or she’ll call the police.
At this point, I am trying to get up without falling in the muddy bit of yard beside me. I’m kinda nervous because I didn’t know if she already called them or not. When she came outside, I apologized and told her she had some pretty pine cones in her yard, and I was trying to get a cool shot for Brandi’s Beauty Mission.
I hoped to make her laugh but I think she just thought I was nuts! Off I walked, a little embarrassed but I got my shot! 
Moral of the Story: Ask before you lay down in some one’s yard to get a cool shot of a couple of pine cones!
