Weekly Photo Challenge: Through


The photo challenge for this week, through, provided me with the opportunity to post this picture of my hubby, taken last week while he was pruning the trees in our yard. I was just playing around at the time, but it worked to my advantage. You can see him through the branches…hard at work while I played with the camera. Thanks for the photo opp, honey!

Meanwhile right on the lot next to us these vultures, were watching us. Ugh, what a creepy feeling I got.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Unusual


This week’s photo challenge, calls for an image that represents something unusual to me. So, I picked this photo, taken during this past holiday season. A replica of the Pinta and the Nina, (Columbus ships) sailed into town for an exhibit, and promptly anchored at Fisherman’s Village Marina in Punta Gorda, FL.

I just had to go see if I could take a picture; after all, this is not the usual type of vessel that is normally found at the marina. I am so glad I was able to take this shot! The ship looks so magnificently out-of-place in this environment; but hey, it served my purpose!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Contrast


This week’s photo challenge? Contrast, got me thinking and set me off on a digital search through my computer files. I remembered having these pictures and wanted to share them, so here they are. My daughter, Natalie, took these during a visit to Miami‘s Metro Zoo now known as Zoo Miami. The colors contrast beautifully, flamingos strutting their pink and the cranes in white look beautiful against the green water. And, you can see the duck’s “feet” doing their thing underwater. I guess we cannot compete with mother nature!

 

I am swimming away, no photos please,,,
Pink flamingos? Yes, we do exist!
