Week 12 (March 19th - 25th) | Pictures 21 & 22

Ahhh, Spring! Okay, not quite. But it's a nice 60 degree day here and my family is recovering nicely from our illness, so I got outside during nap time to take some pictures.

There isn't much blooming in the yard yet. So I took a picture of a dead bud casing and a weed - but tried to get a little different perspective than I normally do. I'm a pretty boring flower photographer. I want to shoot flowers straight on and that would explain why my flower pictures are usually so blah. Today, I tried shooting at several different angles and found (surprise!) that straight on is a pretty uninteresting way to shoot.

The dead bud casing:

The dandelion:

I did an OCF project this weekend too - but I'm not loving how it came out. Maybe I'll share later this week if I revisit the pictures and change my mind.
