Retired

We saw this sitting in a field on the way to Cloud Mountain Farm.  I didn't get close enough to tell for sure but it looks it might have been an old hay bailer.

Skywatch Friday: Something's Brewing

When she's done with the swings we head for our car. The trail is long and her hands are cold so we stop several times while I convince her to keep moving before the rain comes.  During one of these stops a ray of light falls across the field before the clouds settle in.

Caught!

Last month I posted this photo of teasel heads in a field:

In order to tell this story properly, I have to give credit to Lizzi for taking this picture while our youngest daughter was in gymnastics class. While  browsing through last week's pictures for something to post, I stumbled across a folder of pictures our oldest daughter had taken with her new "grown-up" camera.  I had to laugh when I saw this picture of her holding a dried flower with Mom in the background snapping the teasel photo:

Bokeh II

They say you need to repeat things in order to remember them, so this is the second sequel in

what is turning into knowledge week at Bellingham Daily Photo. Yesterday's post introduced me to the word "Bokeh".

Thanks Tracy for bringing a little more knowledge to Bellingham Daily Photo!

Teasel II

Last year I posted a similar picture of what I thought was thistle.  MB of Small City Scenes correctly pointed out that this is actually Teasel.  It's considered an invasive species and it seems to like disrupted areas like this empty lot in an industrial area of town.

Thanks MB for bringing a little knowledge to Bellingham Daily Photo!

Mommy, Where are Ewe?

What did we do before the internet?

I thought this would be a good place to post a cute sheep joke so I did a search to find one. Who knew there would be sites devoted to sheep jokes? It turns out none of the jokes were cute, but several had me laughing out loud and needless to say none were fit to print on Bellingham Daily Photo!
