It’s Sweet Shot Tuesday again! We took a walk in the park the other day… the weather has been so warm and sunny! Just perfect for being outside! Too bad we’re getting rain and cooler weather the next few days. I was thinking spring might be here to stay but I guess not!
Anyways, on our walk we came across this squirrel. The girls thought it was so neat! I didn’t want to get too close, he was a feisty little thing! But I only have a 50mm lens so I had to get a bit close to get any good pictures! This is one of my favorites.
Head over to Life With My 3 Boybarians and join in the fun!
It’s Tuesday again and time for another Sweet Shot Tuesday hosted by Life with My 3 Boybarians! I absolutely love this weekly blog party! There’s no theme, so you only have to post your favorite shot for the week! Darcy also hosts a giveaway each Sweet Shot Tuesday, and… this week she is giving away a set of my Photo Veils! Go over and check it out. 
Seriously… go there now! You’ll be glad you did!
This is for my sweet mom! Everything about it reminds me of her! The pink, the soft, dreamy fluffiness! She loves anything soft and pink! Our weeping cherry trees are blossoming now and it is the perfect time to capture them close-up! I’ve really been loving my extension tubes this spring. It’s so neat to be able to take a peek into the beginnings of spring!
For this shot, I used two of my extension tubes attached to my 50mm lens: the 36mm and the 20mm tubes. I set my aperture to f/4.5, shutter speed to 1/100 second and ISO to 100. I always set my ISO at 100 unless the shutter speed can’t be fast enough, then I’ll set it to 200 or 400.
I wanted a tiny bit of the frame to be in focus, with the petals becoming soft and fluffy, so I decided to put the focus on the stamen of the flower. I love how it turned out!
Saturday we took our boat out for the first time this year. I’m so happy it’s getting be warm, I love being out on the boat! We went up to one of the reservoirs and had a barbecue. I shot some pictures in the gorgeous sunset light. I love how it throws a dreamy haze over everything!
