Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge: stump of a tree

This weekend we spent most of our time clearing the woods behind our house, this stump of a tree once again shows natures own art,  if you look closely.

Oddly beautiful detail don’t you think?

In these the difference is significant and worth the trouble  – the detail are much more clear. Also I did add a little contrast too 🙂

Weekly Photo Challenge: Spring II

Spring surprises us, yesterday and today we have had showers of hail, and rain and sleet. Sun has also come out between all these variations of weather.
I took these photos 15 min ago, and now the sun is shining. The wonders of spring weather.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Spring

I have been doing nothing else than documenting spring past week, so I will continue to do so here also 🙂  Kids playing outside, not having to dress them in three layers, cats running free, nature blooming. All fresh and new!
