Hi there! I'm so glad you are here! Time for another Wild & Wonderful Wednesday. I so appreciate all of you who stop by and link up or just leave a nice comment. And even you lurkers (you know who you are). :) I was super excited to see so many link up last week! The most since I've started W&WW. So THANK YOU!
One day last week we had some beautiful weather for January. Temps in the mid to upper 40s and gorgeous sunshine. Oh, it was wonderful. So wonderful, in fact, that once I put Alex on the bus for afternoon Kindergarten, I took advantage of the beautiful weather and went to a local bike trail to do some walking/running. I, of course, took my camera along. Here are just a few photos I snapped while out that afternoon ...
A rare self-portrait. I don't know about you, but I have a very hard time with selfies. So for this one, I put my camera on a bench beside the trail, unfocused my camera (yes, you read that right) :), and set the self-timer. The funny thing is that I had to wait until some other walker went past before I could start. I sat there fiddling around with my camera for a few minutes until she was far enough away. I'm sure she would have thought I was very strange running back and forth in front of my camera. :)
I know this is just a drainage ditch along the trail, but the way the sun was shining on it made it look so pretty. Well, as pretty as a pile of rocks can be anyway.
This was just some grassy stuff along the trail that the sun was glimmering off of. I used Kim Klassen's Sweettart texture on it. I'm linking up with her this week for her "open" theme, since I was out on the open trail. Too much of a stretch? I think not. :)

Kimberly, these shots are fantastic! I love them all, but the 2nd is just lovely! :)
Thanks so much for stopping by and linking up. Happy Wordless Wednesday!
your selfie turned out nice and i love the unfocused trees. i think it is wonderful how we can turn simple and ordinary things into beautiful pictures, you did a lovely job on the other two, even if, as you said, it is just a ditch : )
Beautiful shots! I love your selfie! I have a hard time with those as well. Nicely done!!
These photos are stunning! Love the out-of-focus shot... I still have never been successful with those! And that flare is awesome! The third is gorgeous as well!
Beautiful soft shots! I could use a little work in this area. Happy WW!
Beautiful!
Love the out of focus shot, wonderful captures.
Oh great photos, Kim! I love the self-portrait and the rocks! I forgot to take a picture for your link this week (sad), but I wanted to leave some love anyway.
Wonderful collection Kimberly!! I love your selfie... and I'm with you. I have a hard time with them too. In fact, I think I've done like 2 this year.... and I always grab a cute kid to hide behind!! =P LOVE what you did with this one!! AND another awesome sunflare!!!
great shots..the "un"clarity is a different perspective ..
Awesome selfie! Very clever. And I love that grass. Thanks for hosting :)
I'm cracking up at the thought of another jogger seeing you running in front of the camera :) I feel like that when I do my vlogs outside- wondering what the neighbors think of me out there talking to the camera about who knows what. I love your captures along the way- such beauty all around you.
I love your idea for a self portrait. I have that challenge coming up for my Project 52 and I have no idea what to do. Of course, I would have to take up jogging! :)
