On a Crisp and Cloudless Day

Temperature yesterday morning at 10 am was only 46F and the wind was blowing constantly at speeds of 20 to 40 miles per hour. I wore a wool pea coat.
-----
At the John James Audubon Center and Wildlife refuge, our Meetup group had a fine day despite the wind causing artistic flower shots to be near impossible.
----
Notably, this blooming-late April, there were daffodils and bluebell naturalized throughout the acres of woodland hills. This was near the park entrance; the old farm house.
-----
Note: One of my friends was lucky enough to see and photograph a pileated woodpecker, and we all saw a large herd of dear at a distance.

Perfect perspective - a beautiful place! #11030705Laura E. Swan April 26, 2014
I'd say you did a fine job under such windy conditions!This is a refreshing angle and frame job, too, Michelle.
Very beautiful and if this was the house I'd grown up in, this likely would be the angle of it that would burn in my memory the most :).
Great job!
