Currently using this one as my desktop pic/Screensaver - which even when stretched and cropped to half the photo, still comes out decent enough. ...but when my mates all ask me the place that I adore, I tell them right away. Give me a home among the gum trees, with lots of plum trees, a sheep or...
The view from my hill is rather nice I think. Granted, I left the interstate below us (I985) out (it's really just a highway) on purpose because it wouldn't have made a nice photo for what I wanted to capture today. The sky was so blue and pristine today that I had to snap it! SNAP!
There isn't very much color in the trees yet, but you can tell that fall is on it's way. When I got home tonight, my hubby and a friend were out fishing, so I picked up the camera and walked down to the lake. I played mostly with zooming in on stuff. I didn't want to get off the road to take any...
I haven't taken any photos since last Monday! Here is another one of my foggy morning shots. I didn't have to work on Wednesday, but I had a lot of errands to run, and I got my hair cut and colored. I did do some work on the table runner I'm trying to finish. On Thursday, I went to work, then picked...
Show us your favorite walking path This is actually where I work. The college campus I work on has beautiful grounds and we walk our dogs out there. This is my mother and Angel, walking to the bridge.
a few shots of some cypress knees along the shore of the lake this is how this tree evolved to live along the shore the cypress tree evolved a tripod like root that steadies it in a waterlogged environment like a swamp
Author Teri Thackston has a nice idea for promoting her ebooks. For every one purchased between now and September 30, she will donate a $1 to the Arbor Day Foundation. With her permission, here's her announcement: I'd like to remind everyone about my September fundraiser for the Arbor Day...
From the Fall 2006 Spacing magazine, "What the Trees Give Back", page 40: What Trees Give Back The value of our urban forest far exceeds what we afford it Todd Irvine By best guess there are around six million trees in our city, half on private property, half on public. Together these trees make a...
We purchased a Nikon Circular polarizing C-PL2 a few days ago and put some tests on it. We are very happy with the results. The polarizer is very light and slim. I think this new model just released a few weeks ago. Thanks Lavender for your advice and recommendation. :-) Actually I have many more...
Yesterday, I went for a walk by the river, and across the bridge. The fall colours are beautiful, and the sky was perfectly clear; such an amazing contrast. l(a by E.E. Cummings l(a le af fa ll s) one l iness
Even though I know I shouldn't go outside, I did sneak out for a few minutes yesterday afternoon. It was so nice! This shot was taken from my front yard. I zoomed in using the landscape setting. I like the way the clouds, trees, and calves form a V shape. I was off yesterday and I'm off again today....
My new apartment couldn't be perfecter for me. Two things I just love in life are watching sunsets behind trees and my macintosh computertron. In this place where I now live, my windows face West-ish and there are some big ol' oaks right out there, and I've got my computer desk set up right in front...
...and I'm OK! There's an impressive tree in our front yard, 80 feet tall and straight as a telephone pole. It's also every bit as alive as a telephone pole, so my dad brought out his chainsaw and we set to work enticing the giant relic to lay down. Being so well balanced we were pretty confident we...
I didn't make it to Mass today, so I hope this fine fellow was praying for me! He was crawling all over my hummingbird feeder, so it was easy to take his picture. I went back inside to cut up a couple of cantaloupe from our garden, then noticed that the sun was setting. So I grabbed my camera and...
The Grace of a Tree It's the largest tallest tree on the block, tho' I don't know what kind it is; its upper limbs lean to the east from the wind, it's home to one mockingbird that has learned to imitate the car alarms it hears along the street below, and its trunk is thick with ivy pausing to catch...
Sao so algumas fotografias... neste dia, para compensar o outro, tirei imensas fotografias! :) hei-de flickaralas!! :)
Como ja anunciei antes, no outro dia fomos visitar parques naturais: o Sequoia, que pelo nome da para perceber o que e' que se admira mais nessa area, e o Kings Canyon, que basicamente e' so landscape de granito, mas muros de 2000 m a 4421 m! Como tambem ja disse anteriormente, no primeiro dia tive...
