Only For Daddy

My youngest granddaughter wasn't too interested in the parade taking place behind her, she had eyes only for her daddy.

It was so sweet and all I could think was how happy I am to see that he is enjoying this time while he can. Give it a few years and he will wish she had eyes only for him... LOL

On The Move

Just like this cyclist I'm on the move again.

For the time being I will be attempting to post from my phone and tablet, as my computer is in storage until we are able to get into our new home.

Walking with the shadows

Walking with the shadows, both physically and metaphysically.

While in Sturgis, South Dakota for this, I was drawn to this engraved pathway. At first I thought it was some type of memorial then I realized some of the blocks held the names of businesses and not individuals. I did not find any information on Sturgis' city website so I am only assuming that this pathway was created as a way to raise funds for the revitalization of the main street by offering blocks for sale. Personally I think it is a really great idea. I don't much care for the advertising blocks but really found the memorial blocks to be touching and historically interesting. 

What do you think about this method of funding?

Ocean View Beach Park

A quiet afternoon walk on the beach

I was not the only one enjoying a quiet walk. This little guy just rambled on past me without a care in the world.

Smile Your On Candid Camera

Here are a few candid street photography shots from last week.

This last shot is my favorite. It was one of three shots taken while we were driving down the street. I could hear the motorcycle but could not see it at first. I took the first shot with just the lens outside the car pointing backwards. Then as they pulled up I snapped this one just as the driver was raising his hand to give me a peace sign. Then as they sped away I snapped a third shot.

Weekend Reflection: Life in a Bubble

Photographing the kids playing with bubbles is always fun, especially when you capture some good reflections. In this series of shots I was able to capture glimpses of our new life.

Our home, and I am on the left side of the reflection.

 a few more of our home.

I love this one, it caught our home from behind and a reflection of Sissy.

At first I thought these were just cool looking, but then I realized that is a reflection of our wiener dog Max in the center of the bubbles.

 Now for a few shots of Sissy and Bubba having fun with the bubbles.

I hope you have enjoyed my weekend reflection shots. For more great reflections be sure to visit Jame's Weekend Reflections.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday: It's A Wild Life

Time for the fun Scavenger Hunt Sunday. This weeks prompts were so much fun.
Enjoy!

Sunset
I did attempt to get out at sunset this week but with the freezing cold and the wind I chickened out so my sunset submission is from my archives.

Black and White
Generally I shoot full color and then switch only a few shots to b/w during processing. However, I did set my camera to monochrome for a series of photographs this week. This was my favorite.

A Day in My Life
After a great deal of thought I chose to capture an abstract photo that depicts my rather wild, crazy and colorful daily life. Focusing on my rather wild bedroom curtains I used a slow shutter speed and manual movement of the camera to capture a number of really cool abstracts. This is the one that I feel most depicts my daily life.

Four 
When I read the suggestion for this prompt I was pretty excited because this is a prompt where I can share my passion for photographic art.  My submission is a composite multiplicity photo created this week using four different photographs taken specifically for this purpose early last fall.

Colorful

I just loved the look of so many of the shots I took trying to capture my wild life I decided to share another one as my shot for colorful. I call this one Wild Child.

Next weeks prompts:

Smile (Saun's suggestion)
Stand Alone (Saun's suggestion)
Rusty or Something Old (Saun's suggestion)
Artificial (Terrie's suggestion)
Repeating Pattern (Terrie's suggestion)
