Happy Photo Friday to you!

I had some fun with a new lens filter for close up pictures.  It is going to be so much fun this summer with all of my flower pictures.   It was a cloudy week, so some views of clouds, freshly snow covered mountains and a big friend out back.  And a surprise feathered friend that is a little early on annual arrival.

My new close up filter with a flower.
I need a lot more practice, still fun.

Snow clouds moving through creating some pretty layers of clouds, then clearing to blue sky backdrop.

Our big fury friend moving through out back.
There were two of them moving through this day.
They were behind the bushes, so only able to get this clear shot.

A feathered friend may be a little early.
Although I am ready for Spring in January.  We still have snow on the way.

Snow blowing in over the city at night.
It made for a pretty cool effect with the snow falling and the wind blowing it around.
