Some Photos

A few shots from my photo walk with friends on Saturday.

I can't wait to go back to that location!

 

Scavenger Hunt Sunday

My husband was updating the computer, then my blogs disappeared completely for 10 minutes...no access and gone from the internet, so then we finished out the evening by backing up my blogs.  Now I have a few minutes to work on my Hunt.  These were fun prompts, and I didn't get too creative, but I felt like I had several choices for each prompt.  I look forward to visiting the other hunts this evening.

Strike a Pose:

Yeah, this is what you get when you ask for cooperation.  Much better when she doesn't "know" the camera is there.

Footwear:

My little girl really does rock the cowboy boots passed down from a dear friend.  Love these boots!

Hobby:

Yesterday I spent the morning indulging in my second favorite hobby--photographing nature on a walk with 17 people from my photo club.  Then the afternoon was spent indulging in my absolute favorite hobby--taking pictures of my kids while they played.  Sunflower was on a little trike and Huckleberry also rode his bike to the little store down the street.

Shiny:

The lake was so shiny it reflected the geese as they flew by.

Color Me Green:

In our area we have green all year, but the sun coming out after the rain makes the green even more beautiful.

Have the most blessed of Sundays!

Solitude

Today is the start of a new winter challenge -- Poetic Winter.  Today's topic is Solitude.  Personally I love solitude.  Nothing appeals more than the idea of a day completely to myself, okay, not nothing, but it is in the top ten.  But representing solitude in a photo really takes me out of my comfort zone in a great and challenging way.  I hope we aren't supposed to be poetic, too.  I can only work towards mastering one art at a time ever.

This photo I took at a night photography workshop where we took pictures of posed models and practiced using our flash.  It was quite a departure from my usual candid children shots, but she really looks alone (surrounded by 20 photographers with flashes).

When I took the next one, my mind might have decided that the prompt was isolation and not solitude.

All the snow is gone now.

This child is the main reason, for now, that I don't get solitude very often.  Totally worth the sacrifice.
