Two Princesses

This is the first of probably what will be several posts since today was a pretty good day for photo ops. Tia was married to Scott today and for a birthday present last year to our granddaughter Tia gave McKensie a wedding dress. So we just had to take pictures of both princesses. The last image is of Tia and one of her special friends, Tia and Scott are not crazy as you can tell from the photo.

Stairs

Well I did bridges and now I will show some of steps. The fun in this group is that some stairs are very obvious but some are very hard to see and the only way that you will know they are there is by the railing that is to the side of them.

Fading Sun

So tonight as I left work the sun was being partially hidden by a storm of dust that was being blown in from the west. So I just couldn't resist but to take a series of pictures as I drove away. Of course I had to stop and park the car each time but I think it was worth it.

Bridges

I am trying to learn to be able to photograph anything and am still learning the skills that I need to be able to do it. Here are some bridges that I shot while in Oregon last year . The variety that can be found in bridges is really a lot of fun to photograph. They are so different that I try to look for different views and better ways to take each picture but like I said I am trying to learn even more and having fun doing it.

Animal lover

I was just going through some of my images from my trip to Oregon in June of 2008. It reminded me of a number of images that I had forgotten about. The first set of these images are of some of my bird and animal images. Here they are and I hope you enjoy them. I love to photograph these birds and animals and know that they can be easy or hard depending of course on the animal.

Wheels

Just a little topic photography about wheels. An interesting things to do with photography is to pick a topic and take a bunch of photo's. This one for me was just to take photo's of some of the wheels I saw as I walked around the neighborhood. Of course there were more but this was just the ones I did first.



Now you might ask what this next image has to do with wheels and my answer is; when this is in the middle of the road it could quickly change the shape of your cars wheel. And it would most likely change your mood very quickly. At least in the olden days it couldn't make those wheel flat.

Look Closely

OK so Baden Powell, the founder of scouting , said that if you are to be a good scout you have to be the first in the group to notice something new or different. Well I have been in scouting practicing that little thing for many years but must admit that sometimes things do just flat out get past me. I mean here I am out for a walk on Saturday on a street where I have walked at least 30 times before and I notice for the first time these three manhole covers, well I have actually noticed them but never really looked at them. They were no more than 12 feet from each other and this is the first time that I read their titles. Now I am going to be reading manhole covers every time I go over one, provided I can see them quick enough.
