Wind farm

First of all, you might want to click on these to get just a hint of how it feels to drive by all these wind turbines.

We pass them every time we go to Willow Slough or Jasper Pulaski.  Every time I take pictures.  Every time I am somewhat disappointed.  I just never quite get the photo I want.  Of course we are driving 60 mph, so probably good that I can get these.  They have all had different filters used to try to bring them to life.

I always try to capture this one that is right beside the road...and love to snap one when a vehicle is right beside it.  The last time we went, it was so foggy, I could not see any of the wind turbines, not even this one that is just across the road.

Awakening...

Another day of rambling around...and during that time, I managed a few photographs.    Everything is waking up.  Dandelions caught my eye...I did not notice the ants till I was looking through my lens.  (Click photo to expand the view.)

We saw several of these Six-spotted Tiger Beetles.  This photo is cropped...

Not sure what this plant/weed is...but it is here every spring.  When you look close, those little flowers are quite beautiful.

We are seeing daffodils almost anywhere we go.  I did get more photos, but feel this is enough for one post.

We did fish a little bit today, but they are letting water out of the Cecil M. Harden Lake, also called Raccoon Lake.  Anyway, we were fishing in Big Raccoon Creek and it was almost full to the brim.  I caught one Largemouth Bass.

I was texting with my daughter last night..Lorelei's aunt.  She now has two cats, Delilah and Daphne.  I ask her what they were doing.  She said that Delilah was killing a toy mouse, and that Daphne was taking out her dry catfood, and dropping it one piece at a time, then stalking it, catching it, and eating it.  I almost started giggling out loud when she told me.

It's coming along

I am making some progress....I have not worked on the blocks every day.  It is more like every other day.  I have 6 blocks that I don't have up.  The design wall is not big enough.

I just had to show close ups of some of the beautiful batiks...in case you don't know, batiks don't have a wrong side and a right side.  They are dyed fabrics, not printed. 

I wish I had thought to photogragh the blocks that are not on the wall.

My daughter bought some of the batiks, some came from my fabric stash.

We are watching The Voice...my favorites from last week has made it till next week.  I know at least one other person watches the show.  That made me wonder do you watch The Voice?
