This is why I do not delete images in camera. This was an impulsive grab of my camera after two ducks came flying by a pier I was sitting on. I grabbed my camera and snapped - knowing it was a mess. When I saw it a little bigger though, I loved it! This is a picture that I could seen blown up and put on canvas and made into a piece of art, which may be just what I do with it!
This is a fallen tree that was lying in pasture. I loved the drama of it and I can only imagine what it may have looked like when it was standing. I took this picture standing on the side of a busy road after U-turning to get back to it after it captured my attention.
I know some people can photography flying insects. This big bumble bee took several several snaps to try to get a clean photo of him (or her). It was much harder than I thought it would be to take a picture of a bee.
Dogwoods seem to come and go so quickly so I always try to capture their delicate blooms while they are out and pure white. Now, the tree this was taken of is solid green without a touch of white. But that is why I love photographs, they let you save moments.
When I need to de-stress and relax, I like to go on long photo drives. This was a quick during lunch drive and I found an obscure road with a nice bridge over this scene. All the green is a bit much, but that is why I like it.
Here is Chimney Rock at Lake Martin on an oddly quiet day. This summer it will very busy here and I may be able to get a picture of someone taking a dive off the rocks.
I love this picture of my parent's dog Punch. His brother and long time companion had passed away before I grabbed this picture of him. His eyes were so expressive, I just love how he looks.
Not a great picture, but I can not post one dog and not the other! These are my parent-in-law's children.
Getting doggies to pay you attention can be challenging, but that is the best part of using digital cameras - you can snap so many that would should get a good picture!
This is a simple fairly monochromatic photo, but I love the simplicity of it.
I don't know why, but I almost always have to pull my camera out when I am sitting in a car wash. It does not seem to make a great pic, so I do not know why I always do it. Hopefully this will be the only time I use one of these photos. Lesson to self - stop taking pictures of car washes and fire ;)
The best part about a detour is that sometimes you come across things you other wise would not. This 'train' is one such example. While on a trip back from North Carolina, on a long interstate detour, my parents and I came across this old building that has been 'done up' to look like a train. Very creative!
