Leftovers of Last Year by laurentye

Leftovers of Last Year

All the snow is pretty much gone now, and so I think I have some yard work to do. My back yard is full of old dead leaves, and leftovers of plants. So, I think it's time to do some cleaning to make room for the lovely plants that I hope will grow!

Nice feeling! Out with the old....in with the new! :)

I'll let you have our wind so it can blow all the leaves away. LOL This picture reminds me of what I need to do too. :D

I think the watering can is sniffing the bench for signs of life :)

Nice focus and DoF. This reminds me of what I should have done this weekend. Instead, I watch the Rockies game and make comments on 365.

Fantastic shot Lauren I like the green watering can adding a splash of colour & the textures of the wood, leaves etc.
May 1st, 2011  
Very interesting treatment of a bunch of dead stuff! ;)
May 1st, 2011  
I cleaned up a WHOLE BUNCH of those leaves myself today. Very nice picture.

We have these all around as well :p I like this though with the watring can in the background :]
Re: that's the incredibly annoying thing xD I don't think I'd be good enough to do anything photography related, at least not full time. Hmmm. I was thinking about becoming an SEN teacher in vocational subject for kids who've been kicked out of school but I don't know xD

@spthorne thanks Simon! I'm going to try to clean this mess this week!
May 2nd, 2011  
@jgoldrup hahaha :D on second thought, instead of cleaning and getting rid of my bunch of dead stuff i should keep it and consider it art lol

@jenilaub2011 thank you Jen!
May 2nd, 2011  
Nice capture! I like the focus and the watering can in the background!

Such an interesting perspective.. great photo Lauren
May 2nd, 2011  
Great focus and nice composition!
May 2nd, 2011  
Nice shot!
May 2nd, 2011  
Great shot! Winter clean up is so hard to start. But once you are out there it will be a nice reminder of all the good weather to look forward to!

Re: I'm sure I'll continue with photography but probably not professionally, I have had no training at all and it's incredibly difficult to break into! SEN teacher is a special educational needs teacher. So I'd be working with smaller groups of children. But I don't know if I'd rather work with special needs kids or kids kicked out of mainstream school, either way, they both fall under the title of SEN teacher!

Can relate!
