Pictures Of My Back Yard

Some photographs of my backyard during spring as all the blossoms are in full bloom. My Dog Shadow was with me while I was taking these photographs. I couldn't resist taking a few photos of shadow as well. I was using my Nikon D200 camera with my new 24 - 70mm F2.8 which I purchased in March of 2010.



My dog shadow playing and exploring the backyard. I took this photo with while shadow was taking a quick break from exploring his territory. The blue in the background is my neighbours pool which provides some beautiful colour to the entire photo.



The common lilac plant in full bloom. The photo looks a bit out of focus as I had to have a low aperture to take the photo



The garlic mustard plant has now invaded the yard from several years of neglect.
This is an interesting photo as this single weed was grown amongst the perennials fighting for space.



Shadow having a nice roll in the grass. He is a bit blurry in the photo as he never sits still. It was tough photographing him in a low light situation without a flash.



Shadow chewing on a stick on the back lawn. Shadow is 11 months old and is a terribly active rough collie, a tough subject to photograph in low light.



The trees in my yard are very old and magnificent. The canopy of the maple tree attracts a lot of birds which I plan on photographing.



Shadow finally sitting down for a second. But as was taking this photo he decides to move.



I had to lie low with him to get this photo of him looking right into the camera.



A garlic mustard plant flower in a sea of green. The plant looks like its fighting for some space in a crowd.



Shadow loves running through the flower beds or whats left of a once thriving flower bed. I am hoping to have these flower beds redone and fully functional by the end of the summer.



Close up view of these beautiful flowers that seem to appear on the back fence of the yard.



Another photo of these beautiful flowers. I would love know the name of this plant. I took this photo to display the large amounts of flowers this plant produces.



Shadow sniffing around the yard hoping to find some tasty morsel or a stick to chew on.



Every time I look all I see is the stunning tree line which I am always tempted to photograph.



The view of the house from the end of the back yard. we had to build the deck around a large maple tree which I estimate to be at least 60 years old.



View of the backyard and Lawn. I had just finished cutting the lawn and realized that the flow of green from the lawn to the fence line looked impressive and hence I had to take a photo.



A close up of shadow. He was seated long enough for me to take the next two photos before the sun went down and it was to dark .



Close up of shadow resting.
