An Awesome View of Life

Unique Today's photo challenge. Reflective photographers.  (:  Enough said. Apparently "enough said" isn't going to fly for some people I know.  My friend Deb and I are in Wisconsin Dells for a few days.  It seems to be monsoon season here.  Rain, wind and damn cold.   Late this afternoon the rain stopped, the wind picked up and the temperatures dropped so we decided this might be the best it gets while we are here so headed out to get a few photos.  When we were done freezing out fingers (: we stopped for dinner at Famous Dave's (not any relation to S.F. Windsports).   While waiting for our food I set my camera on the table and shot several table view shots and then saw Deb taking photos of ME with her camera resting on the table.  I could see the reflection of my own camera in her lens so had to have that photo.   The red lighting is the neon lighting on the wall next to us that says "Eat Like A Pig".  (Which ...

Friend Today's photo challenge. Deb and I have known each other since we were about 13 years old.  That's a really long time to know someone.  We are currently on a little get away together.  Needless to say there has been much laughter, a few tears and just a wee bit of adult beverages.  ha! PS  She hates this photo but...  

Facial Feature Today's photo challenge. This was taken last weekend when at the Sculpture Garden with this challenge in mind. Tonight I took the photo below and with my whacked sense of humor I was going to try to tie this into today's photo challenge. I'm sure if I thought long enough I could come up with a way of connecting the dots. ha!

Extreme Closeup Today's photo challenge. Is this an EXTREME closeup?  I'm not so sure but crazy busy day and just needed to get this done. Unique...  (:

Angle Today's photo challenge. Some days the "chase" is more fun than the actual photos.  Tonight's chase for a photo op ended without photos of what we had set out to do but a good time was had anyway. I had to settle for photos while sitting at red lights on the way home.   The photo below is the best photo I've taken at an angle.  Love this photo for many reasons.  (:  Thank you Dave of  S.f. Windsports .

Motion Today's photo challenge. This was truly a challenge to me today.  I tried capturing moving vehicles, myself walking and bicyclists.  None of which gave me a photo of motion.

Today I... saw this in the gazing ball.  Yikes! (: This is today's photo challenge.   Unfortunately I spent most of the day working and didn't get away to do any photos on this gorgeous day.  

Favorite color Today's photo challenge. When your favorite color is red and your name is pronounced "Cherry" this would be the ONLY logical photo for today's challenge.  (: This is the infamous Spoonbridge and Cherry .  The first photo was taken with a selective color setting. Since it was cloudy not much of the red showed in the photo.  Which makes it pretty cool.  I love how there is a red car on the street and also a tail light on another car that can be seen. I couldn't decide which photo was my favorite so... Which is your favorite? Reflective Art An awesome Red Green moment?

Looking out ...for each other.  Aunties with baby Mara Joy. Today's photo challenge.

New Today's photo challenge. New snow cover. Also the frog on the yard stake says he surrenders. (:

Old Today's photo challenge. April 16th and yet another snow storm.  The snow is so very old.

  Transportation   Today's photo challenge.   trans·por·ta·tion - noun :a way of traveling from one place to another place      Enough said!  ha!     Love my creative sense of humor!  (: 

  A favorite place... Today's photo challenge.   When I have a minute or two to myself to relax this is where I like to spend my time.  Laptop in front of me, genealogy files to my left and notebooks and pens to my right. And a view of my entire backyard (another favorite place).   Other favorite places -- my most favorite place is my Dad's.  Love to hang out at the lake with him.  Then there is the resort we go to in Pompano Beach. The best place to relax and become a whole person.

  Outdoors   Today's photo challenge.   Oops...  this is actually out doors.  But it is outdoors beyond the out doors.  Right?     What I really wanted was a photo of doors in a store marked "out" but just didn't get out to do that.  It would have been a bit more humorous.  Right?   But this challenge has been fun even if I'm not taking grand pictures.  Sometimes it's all about the interpretation and the opportunity to express my wonderful sense of humor.  ha!    

Photo of a photo... Today's photo challenge.   Who are these two adorable people?  (:  My daughters call us the hippie couple!  And I miss my 'stang.   This is 1975 the summer we met!  Seems like only yesterday!

  Ground level. Today's photo challenge.  

  Green.   Today's photo challenge.     Doing trees or grass was the easy way out. Besides, we still have snow on the ground.     Finding a Florist with a green awning over their door was a clever, creative idea.  (:  

Rounded. Today's photo challenge.   I knew I was going to be in downtown Minneapolis again today so had a couple of things in mind for this challenge.  Funny thing is none of the ideas were even photographed.  There were so many other options that fit which made it so very hard to choose just one. This was a perfect weekend.   I need to make sure I make the time to go to these places that make my heart beat a bit faster.  (:  

FUN! Today I found an April photo challenge.  The shot of the day has to deal with "fun".  This would have been more fun if it was actually up in the air.  (: This is one thing I need to do before there isn't any time left to do it.
