So, I'm finally implementing more of Candace's photography advice from a long, long time ago. I have read my camera manual & pulled my camera and tripod out today to try a few things. Oh, it seems like there is so much to learn!
I took these photos in a shady area of my yard. I thought a higher exposure would do me well, but it turns out I liked the ones with less exposure, especially on the white flowers--it gave them much more texture. I mainly just messed with exposure today. I would have loved to get closer shots, but I'm still working on getting it to stay in focus when I get really close.
Of course, I would love to become as good as my new amateur idol, Pioneer Woman. You know, she and I are quickly becoming best friends...even if it is a bit one-sided. :)

beautiful shots! What kind of camera do you have?
I LOVE that second picture...aren't flowers beautiful?!?!?
I would love to be able to take pictures like that.. i guess i need a decent camera first though. Your pictures inspire me though to start trying!
Keri, I saw your blog link on Diantha Walling's blog and had to check it out. Your kids are adorable! I am impressed with your photography skills and your gardening skills. Hope to hear from you!

how pretty- i need to get some planted- i'm sure your sick of looking at my beautiful weeds
Ooh! Those are all beautiful...I'm jealous!
Rach & anyone else interested--our camera is a Kodak EasyShare Z7590. It's a really nice camera, but nothing professional.
That makes me miss Utah. I love Crocuses.
You're good! I need some help with gardening (flowers and vegetable). I want you to come over and give me a bit of your knowledge :)
Oh, how I love spring flowers! They are so beautiful!
Yeah! Spring! What pretty flowers! I haven't done much yard work, it has always overwhelmed me but this year I'm determained to plant flowers and a tree or so. I also am going to start a LITTLE garden. I did do a garden three years ago and the weeds pretty much one. I had a baby that summer and the garden was too big for me to keep up with. I'm excited about working out in the yard this year.
We were just told to expect snow clear until May. Haven't seen a single spring flower yet.....sigh....I think that we might have to live out our summer vicariously this year!
Wow! I can't believe how beautiful those are already! Did you plant those from seeds? If you did, bravo!
Wow, those are beautiful. The colors are so intense!
