Bleeding Heart

These are my absolute favorite part of spring, and I was glad to have captured this shot of them.

Woven

Looking up at the roof of a small overpass in Lincoln Park, Chicago. An interesting study in texture and pattern.

Bright

The first flowers of spring.

Frame

I love the textures and colors of old frames, and using a Canon EOS 5D and fixed 40mm lens I was able to capture it in a wide angle.

Thank you Mr. Durant for lending me this camera!

Summer

For these few warm days it feels like summer is here!

Wild Weekly Photo Challenge – Birds of a Feather

Lately the weather has been warming up a bit which means there are birds everywhere all the time. I have always had slight fear that someday a bird will come flying out of a bush and impale my head….but I love to photograph them from afar!

I’m participating in LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge. This week’s Challenge is: Birds of a Feather!

Impact

Spring is the prime season for bird migration, which means it is also the prime time for birds hitting windows.

I was turned away when I heard a small thud at the window. When I turned around a finch was sprawled on his back, feet in the air, and eyes flickering. 30 minutes later he was sitting upright, looking around and hopping about. On the window stuck by rain, a small clump of feathers remained as a reminder of his brush with death.
