Lesson From a Lens Ball

Time keeps on slipping by quickly and I can't seem to get blog posts made.

Trust me it's not that I don't want to or that I don't have any pictures to share.Lots of pictures but too many other things that need my attention.

Well,here I am, with a blog post at long last. I hope that at least a few folks have not forgotten about me.

While driving through a marsh area, this male Yellow-headed Blackbird,was kind enough to pose for me.I find these birds to be very attractive.I can't say the same for their voice,but they are using the talent God has given them.

I have so many sunset pictures, but am always ready to get a few more.Each sunset is beautiful and different from all the others.This is actually not directly into the sunset, but rather the setting sun is painting the clouds a beautiful color to the south and to the east.

I mentioned in a previous post about using a Lens Ball to get some shots.Here are a couple more like that.I did find out, though,that you have to be careful when using it in direct sunlight.While holding this ball and trying to get a shot with the other hand,I noticed a stinging in my finger.At first I thought it was a cramp, but it came back just as soon as I held that ball up again.I finally realized that this ball was acting like a very strong magnifying glass and I was feeling the effects of the sun on my finger.  I realized that I could easily burn myself or start a fire with this ball, if I were not careful.

I do wish I could figure out a way to use the ball without my hand being in the shot.

I love the Irises and used to have a lot of them. Due to cutting back drastically on my gardens,I am down to two Iris plants. I do like this flower a lot.

Something To Think About:

Be contagious with your joy,your positivity and your goodness.

It would be wasteful to not share it with those who need it.
