Ecclectic tastes...

Eclectic tastes leaves room for a little of this and that.  Here are a few fun pictures taken this summer.  A little sky, a little earth and a few of God's creatures....

 Beautiful swimmers as well as flyers

The night sky brings them alive in the sky

New life can reach through to the sunlight when determined

Ok, come on guys and gals and join in.  I guess I can keep posting my pictures all by myself but it's much more fun when we have a variety of pictures and styles to share.  Think you are too much of a novice?  No way.  Think you are too old or too young?  Again.. not applicable.  Do you like to take pictures of people, places and things?  Well then... let's see what you've got.  We promise to enjoy them.

Throwback to spring/summer...

Before we forget completely what summer was all about...here's a few more recent memories.  Insects busy at their work, being so industrious that I am continually inspired to come back for more of summer's possibilities.  Now that fall is in full swing and winter approaching we might as well reminisce for a few moments.  If you have some seasonal photo's you've taken that you want to share please consider joining us at any time.

All Mine...

Kids, Parents, siblings... come on and join in.  Perhaps you can work as a team to come up with something unique and fun to photograph.  Use lighting and shadows to your advantage.. focus or blurring, color or black and white or sepia tone, shapes and sizes and then of course the subject.  Try some new things. Use your imagination and don't try to follow all the rules, just have fun.

Sunrise in a Misty Dawn

Sunrise or sunset...you just can't beat them. especially when you can get up before dawn and watch the sun peek over the horizon while it sifts it's warm rays over the land and water.  A little mist in the air gives the light a soft and mysterious feel.

 We would really like to open this up to others who enjoy taking pictures but may be a little shy thinking that they can't take good pictures.  Please don't feel like you aren't good enough.  We all started out somewhere and many of us are still there...just experimenting, trying to figure things out, etc.

Don't be shy, just jump right in and join us. 

   Just send in a picture or two to the email address shown on the side bar. Give us a name or handle you would like to be known by on this site and we will put water marks on your pictures to keep them safe on the internet. If you have any questions or concerns just send and email and we will try to respond to you right away!

 

 

The Hobbits vs Martians?

Let your imagination run wild...  What if the Martians landed and entered Middle Earth and Found the Hobbits.  Can they work it out and co-exist?

Fallish........



Take clouds or fog, add moisture, flowers and grasses and you get close-ups of fallish beauty.  The leaves hadn't yet begun to fall but the weather has definitely got a change to it.

Sunset road...

Sunrises are a soft blend of colors as the sun prepares to lighten our world for the day.  After an eventful day the sun can be a little more dramatic as it goes down in a flare of awesome colors.  Enjoy this sunset along a country road and look for some of your own sunsets or sunrises that you just had to think.."Ohhh...ahhhh..fantastic!" When you find some or even one picture just send it in.  We'd love to see what you have seen in your world.
