6/20/13 - Erygium and the Space Needle in Seattle Center.  I had seen the erygiium in the garden at the Chihuly exhibit and wanted to get underneath the flowers to take a shot.  I lay down on the ground but still could not get underneath the flowers (really, bracts).  Finally, I just held my camera under the flowers and pointed it up and took the shot.  I was surprised to find that I'd gotten the flowers, as well as the Space Needle, which is next to the Chihuly exhibit.  The composition is a little busy but I rather like it, anyway.  What do you all think?

Thanks so much for making my latest posting from the Chihuly exhibit the #1 shot for the day.  Certainly made my day!

DP171-2013  Posted June 20; processed ditto

I deliberately took this in semi-silhouette, and left it that way in processing, because this is very much as it appeared to the naked eye.  It seemed to fit the contemplative pose of the bike rider.

This photo really shows you how awesome and fun Emily is!  Even though the setting isn’t that pretty, she makes it look good!  Thanks Emily and Sarah Williams for letting me tag along for this session!

I’m sticking with the vintage mood for a lot of Emily’s bridals because she just has such a classic beauty I think it fits well.  I made this one a little grittier to match the setting.

"Blue Herons on Lake Fork"
These incredible birds build their nests in the tops of huge dead trees in the boat lane at Lake Fork. All three birds landed in the nest and we watched as the momma and baby (I assume) pushed dad out.  It was quite comical to watch. 
This was taken handheld with a 18-105mm DX lens with VR on lens and camera, while standing in a boat that is stopped but still moving slightly.  I am struggling to get clear, sharp detailed shots of these amazing creatures from the boat.  
Any suggestions, tricks?  
Thank you all so much for your very kind comments on my "Bessies Keys"  photo.  It means so much to have my shots looked at by such talented photographers. 
Enjoy this day, it will not be repeated

Saw this beautiful honeysuckle plant in a dark corner under some trees while walking the dog last night
Daily Photo for Thursday June 20, 2013
As I was finishing up my little photo outing yesterday, I was almost back to the car when I came across another desert dweller, Mr. Rattlesnake, Diamondback variety, I believe. He was not in an agressive mood, so I tediously went in for the "never-ending" daily shot! (and exited post haste)

Thanks so much for all your comments on my photos, it really does keep me motivated!

"SPECS"
 
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." ~ I Corinthians 13:12, The Bible (King James version)
 
I can see clearly now.......:)!

I am so thankful to God for the tools that help me see clearly. I have been wearing prescription eyeglasses since 7th grade. Hindsight is 20/20; I wish I had kept my initial pair of eyeglasses. These are a few that I've worn in recent years pictured from back, left to right (made by Halo, Gant, Pepsi, Guess, Vera Bradley, and Silhouette) that I still own but do not wear, except for one pair. Can you guess which is  the newest pair that I wear most often? 
 
Hang in there; tomorrow is Friday!

Out of Control - Monster Truck
I think he got his name from the massive Out of Control money spent to make this beast.
6/20/13 - Erygium and the Space Needle in Seattle Center. I had seen the erygiium in the garden at the Chihuly exhibit and wanted to get underneath the flowers to take a shot. I lay down on the ground but still could not get underneath the flowers (really, bracts). Finally, I just held my camera under the flowers and pointed it up and took the shot. I was surprised to find that I'd gotten the flowers, as well as the Space Needle, which is next to the Chihuly exhibit. The composition is a little busy but I rather like it, anyway. What do you all think?

Thanks so much for making my latest posting from the Chihuly exhibit the #1 shot for the day. Certainly made my day!
