Unopened Bloom... Magnolia Tree 1

Unopened Bloom... Magnolia Tree 1, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This is a Magnolia Tree bloom that has not opened yet. I have been waiting for it to bloom for about 2 weeks. It is in a house in our neighborhood. The blooms are very pretty and smell wonderful. I love how the sun's light is surrounding the bloom and glistening on the leafs.

B/W Wheat Field and Clouds

This was also taken off of 481 West on Sunday. I took this in B/W to get a neat contrast of the wheat, trees, and sky all at the same time and I shot it in 16:9 Aspect to get more of the surroundings in the photo. I took this around the same time that I took the close up photo of the wheat.

Citronella Fire

I took this while in North Carolina at the KOA. It is burning Citronella to help keep the bugs away. We filled it up during that afternoon and it burnt for over 8 hours. We have these at our house and brought them with us for the weekend.

Rust...

Rust..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

This was on the side of an old barn on 481 East that i rode by and on my mountain bike and then the next day, i drove to and took this photo. I think that the metal is galvanized metal. I liked the colors that are in the photo. I think that the wood grain is a nice touch to the metal(LOL)
