The Wonderful Thing About . . .

Who can resist Tigger, not me, especially when he comes with this wild orange tiger strip reflection. If you would like to see what created this fun reflection I posted a different shot earlier this week that shows more on Hot Nights N Hot Corvettes.

Yesterday I went for a long photo drive, 274 miles long. It was a terrific day and I captured a lot of great photos that I will be sharing eventually. But here is one from the end of the day. Storm clouds and sunsets make for such beautiful skies.

 

Have a Tiggerific Weekend!

Winters Twilight

A golden warmth bathes the land,

as the sun sets on winters twilight.

 This photo was taken early in April. 

In the Midwest April is more of a winters twilight,

 because it is not quite winter but it isn't really spring either.

Chasing the Setting Sun

Here is one of my favorite reflection shots. It was taken during a road trip back in July. I love sunset photos, but this reflection of the sunset actually captivates me more than the photos of the actual sunset.

Here are a couple shots I took of the actual sunset.

 

Have a Great Weekend!

Sky Watchin

I have been pretty much in hibernation for a while now but I wanted to let everyone know I haven't forsaken this blog. After the New Year I hope to be back to my click happy self, but in the meantime here are a few sky shots.

Wishing all a very happy holiday season!

Summer Sun

Back in July I had the opportunity to meet with some other members of a photography group I belong to and capture the sun setting off the Virginia coast. When I uploaded the files to my computer I put them in a folder for the photography group and then forgot where I had saved them. Backing up my files for last month I came across them and decided I would share them before I forgot again.

Because the weather had been so hot I played with one of the shots to see if I could get an altered image that would speak to the heat we were experiencing. Although the result is unrealistic I like it expresses the heat of the summer.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday: Family & Friends

This weeks prompts for the hunt lended themselves very well to the a theme of family and friends. Most of these photos were taken this week.

Sunset 

The beach is a great place for families to cool down on a hot evening.

Sweet 

This is from my archives. I really miss this sweet little boy.

Hanging Around 

Taken last Saturday night while the family was hanging around playing card games.

Funny Face 

Last Sunday my niece became rather animated when we came across this giant crab head.

Space 

My dog is such a gentleman he gives the cat plenty of space at least for a little while.

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)
