Birds of a feather...

I am addicted, I admit, to Angry Birds. There I said it. I feel relieved to get that off my chest. Apparently this bird isn’t as appreciative. He looks angry enough for all of us. Plus, he is not a good sharer. Another bird comes along looking for a dining buddy and off he flies. Really, so unsocial! June 2nd

 

Thirst quencher...

Not a soda, that doesn’t quench my thirst at all. That is iced tea in that glass, but I thought the light shining through the glass brought out some beautiful colors. The condensation, making interesting patterns on the side of the glass, just made it all the more interesting. I love the distorted ice peeking through. All in all, a cool look. June 1st

Reborn...

Mountain laurel! Our mountain laurel! Yes, I am excited, it hasn’t looked this good in years. I never thought it would again and yet, here it is in all its glory. I guess something, besides the bugs, liked all the rain. May 31st

Random scenes from a weekend, part 3... The Finale

It had rained the night before and when we woke up the fog had rolled back in again. That wasn’t going to stop the diehard fisher-people. They were out in their ghost boats looking like they were sailing on clouds instead of water.

The long weekend was ending and the day was beautiful. It is always sad to have to head home. A few more images of all the little things that made me smile and then that long car ride. We passed the Chatterbox! Yeah! And the show car was purple! They must have known I was coming. May 30th

Random scenes from a weekend, part 2...

It was the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, it only seemed fitting to include a flag and this was such a beautiful setting. It watched over us as we offered prayers of thanks and safety for the men and women who give so much so that we can be free.

Nature is pretty amazing. I know the flowers again but even the weeds are lovely. Poor gnome, somebody knocked his block off. May 29th

Random scenes from a weekend, part 1...

The quandary: focus on one thing and record it at all angles from all vantage points throughout the day or have fun and point my camera at whatever made me happy. The former sounded like a grand plan but the later sounded like a grand time! PS… I thought it was one bug! Now I feel like I intruded on Mother Nature but that iridescent green color was so gorgeous! May 28th

Altered art...

OK, they can’t all be prizewinners! It was late and I was tired and we were on our way out of town. I saw this pot of flowers and loved how the night lights were dancing off the petals. Did I tell you it was late? Did I mention I was tired? Oh, and the ‘good’ camera was in the car… which I could see but if I walked to it, I wasn’t walking back. So I used the point and shoot camera in my handbag, sure it wouldn’t be that bad… It isn’t horrible… It also isn’t what I saw. The focus is off and the lighting is all wrong but the colors are nice.  If you can't say something nice... Since I can’t show you my vision I thought I would play a little. I am posting the original (blah) and the fun version. I kinda like the finished product. What do you think? A little 'sketchy', right?  :-)  May 27th
