Backyard Big Sky Photos

I'm hoping to take a trip out west this year and do some landscape photography so I thought I would try my hand at some backyard photos and get some practice. After a short walk I got to the highest point that didn't require getting into an automobile to see what I could do working with midday sunlight. On a day like this the light is ever changing so I learned you must be patient and wait for the sun and clouds to do their work. As a bonus I threw in a couple of shots I took earlier this month later in the day at a local wetlands preserve because they fit the theme.
