I Need Color

I got my new lens for my camera in the mail yesterday. THANK YOU SO MUCH HUBS! I got a 70-300mm Sigma. I was so excited to go outside and play with it. I hate that there is no color outside right now and not a lot to take pictures of. I did find a few things to take pictures of though.
 This is on the back of hubs Jeep...yeah he loves that thing. Some times I wonder if he loves it more than me.

This is the bottom part of one of my wind chimes.

So berries outside. They are there all year, so nothing special but I'm learning to use the macro on my new lens.

Hope everyone is having a great week!!!

Catching The Sun

I woke up this morning to actually see the sun rise. That is not normal for me! 
Which was beautiful by the way, plus I wanted to see what my new camera could do for me!

A Little Editing...

I had taken these pictures when we had all that snow, so I thought I'd do a little editing on them.
These were all edited on Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Short Story

A little boy was walking down a path and he came across a rattlesnake. The rattlesnake was getting old. He asked, "Please little boy, can you take me to the top of the mountain? I hope to see the sunset one last time before I die." The little boy answered "No Mr. Rattlesnake. If I pick you up, you'll bite me and I'll die." The rattlesnake said, "No, I promise. I won't bite you. Just please take me up to the mountain." The little boy thought about it and finally picked up that rattlesnake and took it close to his chest and carried it up to the top of the mountain.

They sat there and watched the sunset together. It was so beautiful. Then after sunset the rattlesnake turned to the little boy and asked, "Can I go home now? I am tired, and I am old." The little boy picked up the rattlesnake and again took it to his chest and held it tightly and safely. He came all the way down the mountain holding the snake carefully and took it to his home to give him some food and a place to sleep. The next day the rattlesnake turned to the boy and asked, "Please little boy, will you take me back to my home now? It is time for me to leave this world, and I would like to be at my home now." The little boy felt he had been safe all this time and the snake had kept his word, so he would take it home as asked.

He carefully picked up the snake, took it close to his chest, and carried him back to the woods, to his home to die. Just before he laid the rattlesnake down, the rattlesnake turned and bit him in the chest. The little boy cried out and threw the snake upon the ground. "Mr. Snake, why did you do that? Now I will surely die!" The rattlesnake looked up at him and grinned, "You knew what I was when you picked me up."
