Water

I am totally intrigued by the many moods and looks of water. Slightly chilly, blustery morning by the park lake. I am trying to capture the water's restlessness. I am not sure I succeeded.

Looking for Breakfast

Thanksgiving morning our friendly neighborhood osprey checked out the park lake for breakfast. Unfortunately, he found breakfast across the lake and the camera couldn't get a good shot.

Thankful for the year

Gratitude fills my heart on Thanksgiving Eve. I chose 3 pictures from this past year, one about beginnings, one about endings, and one about wonder. This was a spectacular year. I worked so hard all year to finish my degree in Photography. In one month, I will officially graduate. I am so excited.

One in the Show

Woohoo!! One of my pictures made it into the show juried by Joel Meyerowitz. His web page is http://www.joelmeyerowitz.com/ I went to his presentation and found out he was the photographer picked to photographically record the aftermath of 9/11. He also spoke to the ASU photo club about what choices he has made as a photographer. I enjoyed what he shared. The show will be at Northlight Gallery at ASU Feb 2010.

Tree

This is my favorite tree. I have a long history with it. I chuckled, when I saw that they have added supports for the tree. I got up in the tree to take some inside pictures. Fortunately, the branches are low to the ground, so that when I fell out of the tree I didn't have far to go. I protected my camera from the fall, in the process, kept myself from breaking my arm. I am amazed that I have no bruising from the activity. I need to work on paying attention where I am when taking pictures. When standing in a tree, do not lean a little further to the right to get a better picture.

Blending in

I was flipping through the ground squirrel pictures when I realized how the markings on the squirrel matched the colors on the rocks. With his tail flipped over his back, he looks like the rock just behind him and over a little. The dead give-away is the racing strip on the squirrel.
So cool. :)

New view

I pass dropped oranges on a regular basis, by crouching down, and getting a worm's-eye perspective, the orange takes on a new view.
