Nebraska Photoblog!
I've really missed being able to take photos since the ocean-fumble accident with my camera about a month ago. But a friend was nice enough to lend me her camera before my trip home to Nebraska for Easter weekend. (Thank You Esther! ) : )
Here's a little photoblog of my weekend!
| Spring is only half-sprung in Nebraska. Certain views look as if nothing is alive at all, and may never even be alive again. | ![]() |
| For instance, this has been one of my favorite trees for years. It's been dead since before I met it, but every time I go home lately it seems to have gracefully lost another limb. It's like an ever-evolving sculpture. | ![]() |
| Even though the weather's been warm enough to wake the grass from its winter dormancy, there are still a few stubborn drifts of hard-packed snow in shady spots and cold corners. | ![]() |
| But every day, the green spreads out a little but more. The first blooms of spring are always tiny ones. | ![]() |
| I just love sedum at this stage - stout little rosettes poking up through last year's growth. | ![]() |
| My family was kinda proud of how our speckled Easter eggs turned out - they almost look like real bird eggs! Except that dark black and blue- ish one in the upper right. I think that one looks less like a bird egg and more like an explosion in space. | ![]() |
| If something looks familiar here, it's because the horse is striking a pose you've seen the models do on "America's Next Top Model." | ![]() |
| A stone toad with a Mona Lisa smile posed with the lily sprouts. | ![]() |
| Solomon posed with an assortment of festive spring fabrics. | ![]() |
| And ten-year-old Petunia the chicken posed with me. Next week, we'll get back to Quotation Tuesday! -Brigitte | ![]() |

Awesome pictures Brigitte, thanks for sharing! My favourite one are the eggs, especially the space egg. :)

Just a few thoughts. The tree resembles the tiny tree in "Merry Christmas Charlie Brown."
And you are so right abut the horse! He's totally one-upping Tyra by "smiling with his eyes."

Hello,Brigitte.
You certainly captured the essence of Spring in Nebraska. I wonder when, and how graceful the final passing of the tree may be?

Great pictures! These make me want to visit Nebraska.

I hope Petunia wasn't part of Easter dinner.

Hey Brigitte,
You are such a good photographer!
The last one with the chicken reminded me so much of our household! (I know that sounds weird) We live on a little bit of land and I'm going to miss our chickens, and our dogs, and the cat...

Any time I have ever been involved in dying eggs I typically do just a few, but I have to do the most important one, the most perfect orange egg. I have never achieved it. There is always a flaw. A line or a slight discoloring. Somehow, it appears your family has come closer than I. I'm just curious if this is a normal Easter obcession?

Glad you got to take some more pictures. Great shots. I really like the one of the old tree. The egg one is nice too.
Esther Wednesday, April 07, 2010
You always take such beautiful pictures Brigitte!

Your "Spring comes slowly to Nebraska" pictures brought a Mona Lisa smile to my face. Cutie Petunia is ten years old? I'd no idea a chicken could live that long. Does she cuddle? Remember you?

A recent NY Times article discusses people who photograph their food:

Maybe you could photograph everything you eat for a few days.

Who died the nonspeckled egg, BD? Looks like something a brother might do.
james Knauff Thursday, April 08, 2010
Oops...dyed not died. I hope nobody or critter died.

I love the picture of the dead-looking tree, it's actually a perfect picture! You're a well good photographer!
