Week 6 - April 8 - 14

This was a week of windy conditions.  I didn't get out to shoot any macros until Wednesday as it was just too windy!  Even on the days I was out (Wednesday-Friday), I had to time my shots in between gusts of wind.  I actually did some shooting one morning before breakfast when it was much calmer.  I took my cup of tea outside with me, grabbed my stool and mini tri-pod to try some yard shots.  I think knee pads may be in order.  Every time I get down, I can hardly get back up!!  

I looked for some different things this week along the walking path near my house.  Found some interesting things that I will post outside of this blog.   The weather has not been that warm lately so the buds are taking their time to form.  A few buds are forming here and there.  Many others have not even started to bud yet.  Some new ground growth is starting to show itself.  It may just take a little longer until we get a bit of heat!  

Also this week, I decided to focus on things right in my own yard.  Finally a few little flowers are starting to poke up through the soil!  We have some tiny white crocuses and the flower above that I am using for this week's photo.  I don't know what this is.  If you know, please drop me a message.  Each flower measures no more than 1/2 inch across.  They grow in a long string, if that makes sense.  I love flowers, especially ones that are purple/dark blue. 

The forecast for the upcoming week is calling for some snow on Monday (possibly 15 cm).  Who knows, I might be posting more snow photos...just when you think the snow is gone for good!  Time will tell!!
