Taking A Day Off

     Few days ago, I asked my hubby to go with me driving around the country of West Monroe, Louisiana to shoot some interesting sceneries, it wasn't a good day to shoot because it was sprinkling on and off. But sometimes, as a photographer I do take risk and look what we  found, It's a crane in the field.

     when I saw this one, I already love it. The crane and the field as the backdrop is beautiful! With a little bit of color adjustments to make the color popped, I got what the result I was really looking for.

      Still looking forward to shoot more out in the country in a few days in times like this-golden hour.

Squirrel At The Backyard

 

 

                  Such have a beautiful weather today, it's so pretty outside  so me and my husband with our two little boys went oustide and have fun. A few moments later, this squirrel showed up and my husband got the camera  as fast as he could and start shooting.

                   My husband took these photos, and I just enhanced them a little bit.

              These photos were taken at the West Monroe Recreational Park, West Monroe, Louisiana.

Rain Splash

          Finally, here comes the rain, it's time to get the camera out and start capturing the rain splashing on the ground. I wish the rain last a little longer, but it only last probably 30 minutes and it's not really hard. It was just a light rain. But I'm still happy I have these two shots posted here out of many.

Close Up Photos Of A Stink Bug

           This might be stinky as it looks but when I took these shots I really didn't smell anything. I used  macro both of these shots.

           Other name of stink bug is brown marmorated stink bug. This insect belong to the family of Pentatomidae. This bug is native to China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan. This brown marmorated stink bug is considered  to be an agricultural pest because they can create large populations, which feed on crops (damaging production) and they are resistant to many pesticides. 

            They are a threat to soybeans, native and ornamental trees, cotton, corn,  vines, shrubs, weeds, and many cultivated crops.

 OTHER NAMES:

• Green stink bug - Acrosternum hilare
• Brown marmorated stink bug - Halyomorpha halys
• Southern green stink bug - Nezara viridula
• Rice stink bug - Oebalus pugnax
• Forest bug - Pentatoma rufipes

           

Crepe Myrtle Blossom Photos

Add caption

           I took this beautiful crepe myrtle blossom pictures in my mother inlaw's house yesterday. This is located in her front yard which is so perfect for her house.

Louisiana Swamp

                These was taken in Cheniere Lake Area 4 in West Monroe, Louisiana.  It's beautiful out there, and I hope I can go back there when I'm not busy. There's so much more amazing views to capture there. 

                There's so much beauty in Louisiana, and taking pictures of them makes me feel so proud.... proud to share them to the world.
                I'm a nature lover, and I do take pictures not based on what I see with my eyes but based on what I feel.

Southern Turtle

   Just another photos of the turtle that me and my husband actually saved from being run over by any vehicle on the road. 

  The first photo on top was when we found him crawling on road trying to cross on the other side of the road while a big dog keeps barking on him.

  When I stepped out from the car to pick up this turtle, a big white dog from a house not too far from us was ready to attack me, so I went back to the car and my husband stepped out and picked up this turtle.

   We brought him home with us. We put him out in my inlaws backyard where he is safe. Maybe he will find the other turtles that's in there already.

Wild Berries

       My husband surprised me by taking me to one of my favorite park in West Monroe, Louisiana right after watching "Snow White and the Huntsman". We were just walking around, sightseeing, talking, shooting pictures.
       When I saw these berries I can't wait to take some pictures. It's not because I love berries, but because I love nature. I like taking pictures of anything but the number one thing on my list is taking pictures of nature. I'm a nature lover!

Orange Creature

           I don't know what's the name of this creature. It looks like an Aphid but not sure if it is one. The last time I saw an Aphid it was  a green one.

           Let me say today, I'm a little lazy to do a little search about this creature.

Cucumber Swirls In My Garden

               I challenged  myself today to take some photos of this tiny cucumber swirls and see what's gonna be like. Honestly, I had hard time while doing it because these swirls are so tiny that my eyes crossed many times and it's breezy. Well, the results weren't that bad at all, I guess. If you think these photos below are not that good or any comment from you would be great. Any comment will help mold my skills in the world of photography.

SUNRISE In Mississippi

             I took these shots last January this year when me and my family went to Jackson Mississippi. I thought I lost these images, so last night I checked all my files and I found them and I'm so happy that I found them. I love these photos.

            These images reminds me when I was in the Philippines. I always watch the sunrise every morning. It's a great feeling thinking how lucky I am to live another day of my life and to see the beauty of nature that God created.

Behind The Clouds

               Don't under estimate the beauty of the clouds and what's behind it. Gonna be taking more clouds shots. I love the beauty that the clouds bring and most of all the amazing beauty of what's behind it. It's amazing!

               God is so amazing! His design is unmeasurable! We are so lucky that we have given an opportunity to live and enjoy His creations. We are part of His wonderful creations afterall.

Beautiful Purple Flowers

                While being outside enjoying the beautiful weather, I decided to go look around the house see if I could find something interesting, of course, with my camera with me. While walking around the front yard this purple flowers caught my attention. They were along the gate and they are so tiny. 

                No matter how tiny they are, they caught my attention plus this tiny bee sucking the nectar makes it more attractive.

                             

Roses Collage Frame

               I was playing on my computer with all these photos I took to create something out from them.

               After an hour thinking what to, this is what I decided to make. To make a collage of roses photos. On the top, the roses are blooming, and the bottom the roses have bloomed.

               I love flowers, specially roses. If only the weather won't change, I really want a big garden full of roses.

LET'S STICK TOGETHER

               Want to be in quiet place once again. Driving around somewhere quiet, looking for the best spot to spend time and relax a little bit. It's a great feeling being in a distance from all the noises around is a wonderful experience.
           

Cows in the field

               While being in the quiet place, me and my husband saw these beautiful cows and they reminds me of my father who love cows. He always clean them, check their skin, feed them, and give them water to drink, or sometimes take them to the rivers so they can drink water anytime

Louisiana Cypress Swamps

               Cypress swamps are found in the southern United States. The wood from cypress is resistant to rot, resistant to insects and was a popular wood for building.

Cypress swamp in Cheniere Lake, Louisiana spring time.

                There are some other trees and shrubs that can be found in cypress swamps like wax myrtle, buttonwood, blackgum, pond cypress, and red maple.

                Cypress trees are very impressive objects and they have a very graceful structure. Cypress wood is beautiful, and it's a good thing in the humid Louisiana environment.

WEB MAKER

               I was outside watering my little garden when my husband saw a spider, he called me and showed me the spider. It was kind of funny because at first I couldn't find the spider that's because I expect a big one not a little bitty one. I keep asking him where? And you know what, it's just right in front of me.
             

Spider

               When I saw the spider and to know how little it is, it's quiet a challenge to take a picture of this little buddy. This is my favorite one.

FISHING BOAT

Fishing Boat

           This photography was taken during the last week of winter this year ,and I can't wait to go outside and take photos of anything that looks good to me. It's Sunday, and me and my family have to go to church first. So, I just put my tripod at the back of my car and do take photos after church. One of my friend and her husband invited us to have lunch at their place which was so perfect and we had great time. After we ate our lunch I went outside with my wonderful friend and found this boat, and I really love how it looks like and the place where it was. Using my tripod I decided to take a picture of this boat.
