PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 18th

Yesterday I was fairly proud of myself for knowing the name of the Jacaranda Tree. Today I am not so fortunate, and a search on the internet for succulents has left me clueless.

I think this is a Hens and Chicken variety (echeveria), but I never saw new sprouts/shoots around this large succulent to say […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 17th

Have you seen those purple trees around town? They typically bloom from April through June, some even linger a little longer? Do you have them in your yard?

I do! And while they are quite beautiful, sometimes the mess they leave behind is not quite so . . . well, let’s say, wonderful. Where I […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 16th

Two weeks and I am still going strong on this ‘photo of the day’ thing! They say after 21 days it becomes a habit!

After attending the Holgas and Coffee workshop this past weekend, I saw something that caught my eye at Art From Scrap. I photographed it with the Holga, but we haven’t gotten […]

Around the corner and down the street . . . there is this arched gate that I love . . .

Every time I drive past it, I tell myself that one day I am going to photograph the gate – I just love the style of it. Today was the day. And there just […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 14th

Okay, just so you know – I may have processed this image in Lightroom, but I didn’t change the color of the door, nor did I liquefy the bar – this is real life! From the quirkiness of the tips of the bar to the coloring of the door – we haven’t seen the end […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 13th

What can I say about today’s photo? The pot attracted me? The shape of the succulent attracted me? The shadows attracted me? the debris on the side of the flower pot attracted me?

I am thinking e) all of the above . . .

You have to admit, sometimes you just don’t know why something […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 12th

Today was a little different. I was shooting Luke and Brittany’s wedding in LA and figured I would post an image from their wedding, or not post at all because of writing about them. But at the end of the day, while waiting for the images from my cards to download onto Art’s computer, I […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 11th

Sometimes you just have to look up!

And sometimes you have to move around a bit to keep the sun from flaring everything in your image!

And sometimes you have to wonder what made you look up in the first place! I think it is like stopping and smelling the roses – sometimes, you just […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 9th

Thought I might break the pattern of flowers and rain. Today it is Easter in June!

Seriously, I stumbled along this little egg on the side of a driveway as I was walking down Garden Street – and couldn’t resist the temptation to photograph it – good thing it wasn’t real and just forgotten!

TODAY’S […]

PHOTO OF THE DAY – June 8th

More rain. More flowers. More purple. More photos from my neighbors front yard. Nuff said.

okay, a little bit more said . . . I never expected to stop the rain in the first image! When I first downloaded these images, I panicked! Thought I had some major dust on my sensor – that is […]
