Umbrella

This is a stretch for the theme of weather this week! Here is ds #2 girlfriend holding a vintage umbrella. She spends a lot of time at our house (she's very sweet and we enjoy having her), so I asked her to be my subject. I am working on the assignment using flash for my photography class and wanted something interesting as background. Is it too distracting?

Prairie Sun

The theme for this week is weather. We have had a lot of rain around here the past week and this is a late afternoon shot of the clouds finally breaking up! I love how the sun rays are shining through the clouds and the prairie grasses are beginning to green up. We should have a mostly sunny day today!
