I think that is why I love doing this challenge. It gives me a week to find something interesting to photograph, and hopefully it will be pleasing to the eye.
This is part of the rock rim that runs 1/2 mile along our
property. Birds and vegetation enjoy it equally.
I see a few of "Mother Nature's" lines in there.
Do you?

A birds eye view from our hilltop.
You can see property lines, edges of fields,
roads, and swather lines
in the hay fields.

Another view from the hill includes a pivot, the
circle in the center left. Our neighbors are
replanting it this year and the ground is in the
process of being worked.

This photo almost looks like it's in B & W, but it's not.
Sagebrush isn't out of dormancy yet.
It has a twisted, harsh look to it; similar to
the winters here.

I was looking at the slightly frozen edges for this photo, and
then realized how the reflection of the wood post
and the sheep fencing in the water made interesting lines too.

It's so drab here still; green is just starting to happen.
But, you can see the swather lines from last summer,
along with the irrigation wheel line...and
of course the obnoxious power lines!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of lines! I especially liked the view from your hilltop..excellent early spring view, I bet it is beautiful in the summer! :)
ReplyDeleteThose are some great lines!! You have some of the nicest country out there. It's so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI had missed a bunch of posts, so I had to do some back reading.....I loved your Christmas present. It was VERY nice!
Wow, you live out there don't you. Nice shots, looks like you get your share of exercise getting these shots.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the nice straight lines of the shot from the top of your hill is the one that draws me in.
ReplyDeleteWow! So many straight lines are located around you. And they say in nature there are no straight lines. Well I suppose the farm lines aren't very natural, but many of your other photos have natural lines.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with your assignment!
