Sunday Stills Challenge – silhouettes
I think this week’s Sunday Stills challenge was one of my favorites so far. All we had to do was have a sunny day and something to get a silhouette of! I got quite a few, plus a couple from the archives.
Took this in the in one of the fields left for hay. Had a gorgeous sunset that night, too. With this picture I was trying to duplicate a picture I took last July in the same field. 
This is the one I took last July. It actually happened by accident. I didn’t know as much about the camera and had it on the wrong setting and got this amazing silhouette of the grass instead of the sunset.
Blue Jay on the house roof. I can’t believe he actually stayed there long enough for me to go get the camera. They’re so flighty that you usually only run to get the camera, come back, only to discover that he’s gone.
This one’s from the archives. Took this back at the end of April. He just had to come over and investigate!
In the hayfield again. Trace is just waiting patiently for me to stop clicking away so he can go back to the house.
Out for an evening ride….
And now my absolute favorite out of all my silhouette shots. The colors just come together so well.

They are all really nice. If I had to choose I think I might pick the dog, but it would be hard to decide!

Great shots, the dog and cow are my faves..:-)

Great job! Though I love the ones with the grasses the shot with your dog is my favorite.

Perfect submission. Loved them all!

I agree, the bottom one I like best too.

Oh, I’m so envious of your field of hay shots! I always get up to the hay fields in the early morning, but not that early! Beautiful shots!

These are all wonderful!

Great luck with the jay!
Nice assortment of silhouettes.

Love them all! The grasses were a “happy accident” as I like to call them.

The animals shots are my favorites, but it would be hard to choose between them! Great job!

These are all wonderful, it is not easy to re create a good shot..patience! The cow made me smile..very cool!! I love the last shot too..but that first one is great!

I think yours are my favorites so far.

You got a lot of great shots! If I HAD to pick, I love the pooch and the last one the best.

Wow, these are all great shots!

Oh, these are lovely! So hard to pick a favorite. Hmm … they are all so good, and each presents its own feeling. Animal shots are always great, too. I think my favorite one, if I absolutely had to pick one, would be the second picture. Sunsets are special to me, and this one has a wonderful “aaaah” factor!

Oh my. The blue jay is freaking picture perfect. My second fave is the cow. Then Nick. Then Trace. <33

Hi Aussie Oklahoma,
I couldn’t find the reply click on your book list page. Thanks for including two of my novels.
My newest is called “Imperfections” and it’s about the Shakers.
Your photos are great! I especially like the silhouette of your dog, he looks so pensive and yet grateful to be alive.
