Living in a rural area is nothing if not fantastic for capturing wonderful moments in the life cycle of nature. As evidenced by my deep and abiding love for skyscapes, I’ve got no shortage of inspiration for nature-based images. And since it’s hard for me to choose just one, here are several!
Beautiful…and treacherous.
Our yard is littered with pine cones.
“Come into my chamber,” said the spider to the fly.
Just another beautiful summer day.
Tasty harvest. 🙂
This is completely unacceptable at this point in the year.
These are only a handful of the nearly two thousand pictures I’ve taken of the world around me this year alone. I feel blessed to live in such a beautiful place.

Suddenly they all died. The end. 
Oh dear, have you got frost already out there? And yes, I agree that this was an easy prompt for us who live in the midst of nature (and corn fields).

Sadly, yes. I woke up yesterday to a bit of snow, and this morning there was more. We’ve been getting flurries off and on all day, which I find completely unacceptable. But then, I’d be happy if it snowed on December 24 and then melted away on December 26, never to bother us again (till the next year, anyway).

These are great. I can’t even decide which one I like best! The detail is perfectly captured. 😀

Thank you! Incidentally, I have the same problem. And I had a REALLY hard time narrowing it down to just these six – I have so many amazing pictures of where I live. 🙂

But last year it was completely freezing and there were five foot snowdrifts and ting! Surely a year off snow is better….

I don’t miss it, but it’s awful ick-looking out there at the moment. I could do with a bit of snow to cover up the ugly, but no more.
On the other hand, I’m really enjoying the lovely warm temperatures, and they’re not conducive to snow.

I hear you. My view of snow is that there should be lots or none at all. Here in Bury we tend to get about half an inch sprinklings while people as close as three miles out of town get four inches. I reckon it’s the sugar beet factory and there’s a big brewery in town, too. All that hot smoke must have some effect. 😉

Agreed. We usually get a ton of snow, but this winter has been lacking in that department. What we got a couple of weeks ago is all but gone now, though it’s been flurrying off and on all day today. Our weather was just plain screwy last year, a trend which seems to be continuing this year.
