"Backyard" - Ironwood and dh photography's Choice

Backyard! Everyone has one and if you don't pretend the photo of your front yard is you backyard. Of course we won't know if it is a photo of your neighbor's backyard either. In other words, your photo of your backyard will show us how you define your backyard. Let's see how creative you can be! Color, B&W, HDR...anything goes!

DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY June 15
This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and submitted between 00:00 UTC of the start date and 00:00 UTC of the end date.



The Rules

1. Photos must be captured with a Nikon and appear in the thread with EXIF info in order to be considered for the challenge. If the forum EXIF viewer does not show for any reason, listing the camera and capture date/time below the photo is acceptable. Listing exposure info, lens & focal length is encouraged so others can learn.

2. Any photo submitted for a weekly challenge must be taken during the dates specified in the challenge thread.

3. Only one photo entry per member for each week, unless otherwise noted.

4. All regularly active members of Nikonites are allowed to participate, including moderators and administrators.

Voting

During the submission & like periods, please click the Thanks/Like button to vote for your favorite images. You can vote for as many as you want! At the end of the week, you will have the opportunity to vote again for the top 3 photos for this challenge!

There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Photo Challenges, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the challenge. Edited or straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of the challenge subject.

This is my first challenge. I always take a look here and think about it but I'm never able to make myself get out and do it. I live on the shore of a small lake. My house is about 15 feet from the water and half of that is patio, so the lake is my backyard (see here). I needed to get a picture anyway to share at the lake association party next week. So I had no excuse not to put something out here this week. This is taken from my dock.

This view is what sold me on our old farm house. We bought the house as a fixer upper and I ended up needing more than the house... But that is ok I love it out here. God is good.

I live in an apartment, and don't really have a back yard.

So, I wandered around the complex, in areas that come as close as I get to constituting a “yard”.

So here's a tiny plant, one of many like it, in my “yard”. These flowers are very tiny, less than a millimeter in diameter.
