I have to say I was a little estatic when this beautiful horse decided he had something to say…..
and he seemed to be a smart butt tooooo….
Must say everyone thought it was quite humorous.
Was blessed to be able to spend the day on Cumberland Island, Florida this past week and capture some awesome shots. BUTTTT…I will share those later because sometimes it is just being able to capture that just right shot with being in the right place at the right time with the finger ready to snap..
NO!!! Or at least I don’t think so. Oh, it would be wonderful to go to Africa, Austrailia or London to take some awesome photographs. BUT…how many of us that just love photography for the fun of it can afford that.
For one, not me.
SO, why not take a look around the
which I have captured several heart shapes that has almost become an obsession now.
and don’t forget the
with all the walking trails and of course you don’t always have to have a color photograph……I love black and white.
What a bummer!!!!!! Guess I should have done my home work before I sent out all of those request to my friends to come over and sign up under the google friend connect. Oh well, maybe they will get wordpress.com to where it is up to date…I must say I am disappointed but will keep trucking a long with what gadgets I do have here. It took me a while just to figure out how to even start blogging. It is an adventure that I am glad I decided to tackle.
SO how about a picture for the day OR maybe one or 2…
Eye Level
He is still out there..wonder if he misses this tooth..lolol… A story about the tooth is that I had found one on my previous visit to Jacksonville Beach. The lady that we are parked next to at the RV camp told me that she had been looking for one for her grandson….I told her jokingly that if I found one I would give it to her…GUESS what (almost) the first thing I found on the beach…yeap you guessed it..the sharks tooth above….I laughed and said well Lord thank you…the lady was so happy and said her grandson would be exstatic…..
All washed up until tomorrow!
Reflection of 2009
u can almost see the arctic air coming for 2010….burrr.
Setting on 2009
Rising on 2010!!!!!!!
This is how I feel when I find a way to express myself through some type of art. Some say, art is what one has painted on a canvas BUT to me art comes in many forms. It is in what the eye of the beholder sees and experiences.
Being a professional faux finisher, you have to be artistic when you have to create that one of a kind finish for your client whether it be for a wall finish
or canvas art.
Then there are
architects, like the ones that designed this bridge…AWESOME!!!
(a shot I captured going to Jacksonville, Florida)
art journaling,
jewelry makers,
….the list goes on.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…for me that is why you see all types of post on my blog…I have to stay busy with some form of art whether it be faux, art journaling,
scrapbooking,
or playing
photographer. What can I say!!!!!!!!
When I need to shut out the noise of the world, let go of my fears, to be able to dream and refresh my soul, it can be
the beach,
a hill,
a sunset,
sitting under a tree
or going for a
walk in the woods.

It is just a place where you can walk away with a feeling of renewed hope.
Even better is be fulfilled with that same refreshment all over again when I begin to see the shots as they download on the computer. They may only be an inspiration to me but that is what it is all about….finding that renewed feeling within ones self.
I love the way some people can come up with ways to turn other peoples trash into art….trash to treasure is what I call it. Wouldn’t your kids love these to play in, that is if we can get the computer, phone, wii ect away from them long enough.
I have a ton of vinyl records stored…wonder if anyone would like a new bowl? Although it might leak through the little hole in the center. I would like to have one for myself, I love it and what a great conversation piece.
After the rain!
(That could be the name of a song)
The softness you can get is awesome to express how you feel on certain days!
I think this is one of my all time favorites….
Please don’t steal my photos..why would you? It is more fun taking them yourself….
Talk about fun and not ever knowing what you are going to get is taking night photography. These are my first. It has been raining here and tired of being inside, so once it stopped, out the door we went and of course I grabbed my camera. We took a drive up the coast and on the way back it got dark and I thought HUM……
SO I put the camera on the dash board, something I learned from Joshua. I took a 2 day class with him and it was awesome. Plan on doing a day photo shoot with him, hopefully before we leave Pensacola. Check out some of his work. Joshua is very enthusiastic about his photography and teaching.
This was fun, whether they are good or not…
Car lights
WOW…these look like something from a science fiction movie, a scary one….
Exxon as we went by, can’t you tell???
This is a truck that I got as he passed.
This one I have no idea BUT I really do like it.
So coolllll….
OK!! only one more…I do tend to get carried away..but why not have some fun with what your camera can do….
Please don’t steal my photos..why would you? It is more fun taking them yourself….
I try not to leave the house without my camera hoping for that perfect opportunity…BUT when I go for a walk or drive for the sole purpose of shooting through my 3rd eye, it is no time to be in a hurry. This is time for me, my camera and the next object, person, thing to be photographed.
While in the Pensacola area I have had the opportunity to meet and make new friends. Judy is one of those, who also loves shooting with her camera. We spent almost the whole day at one of the parks in the area and were able to capture some fantastic shots. What was awesome is that she, like myself, didn’t want to be in a hurry.
It was a very eventful day with our cameras poised and ready while we enjoyed the beauty of nature around us.
Was pretty happy with my first 2 shots of the day. Nothing to complain about with these.
What a lovely place to take your family for the weekend
OR a good book
OR just you.
This fellow had been watching us for sometime and it was like he wanted to have his picture taken…it was like look at ME!!!!! Strange thing is this happened several times in one day but all different areas and birds…but hey if they want their picture taken I will oblige.
Stop…take time….
Going back and reopening a chapter in my life, my third eye, the camera lens has brought back an excitement and energy to each day. I am learning to not leave home with out it because if you do, as I have already proved, you could miss the best photo of all time.
While located at NAS Pensacola, I had the opportunity to meet Gerald Burieigh, a professional photographer of small critters to wild game. I was in total awe of his photography and even more so with the wealth of information that he was willing to share.
You have got to take a look at his critters and creations…

I was honored that he took the time to give me pointers about my camera and to look at my photos…hope you enjoy.
I have not mastered photoshop as of yet, but that is on my to do list and those of you that know me it is a never ending list. I would like for most of my photos to be natural without any editing, although I am using Photoshop for the watermarking.
These were taken with my Nikon D80.
Through the eye of my camera I see visions of beauty that other wise I wouldn’t see. It gives me so much joy and peace within.
Although I don’t know much about shutter speed and apeture, I am learning and thinking of taking some on line courses.
