An Awesome View of Life

Blue I love this shot.  I happened to be sitting in the exact right spot to see this bit of sunlight reflecting off the lake.  Too pretty for words. This is Wednesday, July 29th's photo.

Yellow. The sunlight was shining on these beauties but it is super windy this evening so the shadows kept crossing them just as I would snap a picture.  I finally gave up and just snapped away.  This one has a bit of the sunlight and a bit of the shadows. I think it turned out rather lovely.  (: For the past two Decembers I have created photo calendars of my photos for my family.  This year my daughters and my husband have been telling what photos are "calendar worthy".  This one gets my vote.  

Pink Sunlight Love the tiny bit of evening sun that is on these flowers.  Too pretty.

Purple. The above photo is a tiny branch of our purple nine bark bush caught in the sunlight.  Love the background in this photo. Below are the purple calla lilies planted today.

A Dazzling Red Green Moment By far my favorite Red Green Moment to date.  For some reason I knew my camera would see the red of the sunlight through the trees.  Without looking through the camera I couldn't actually see the red but knew once I looked into the camera the red would be there. It was like I saw the finished picture before I even had the camera out.  Too cool.  Also, I like the fact the focal point seems to be one of the chimes on the wind chime and every thing else is undefined and blurry. The wind chime was originally suppose to be my subject matter and you barely even notice it is there. This is probably one of my more favorite photos in quite awhile.  I haven't been feeling very creative with my photos for quite some time so... Not beating myself up or putting myself down.  We can't be creative ALL the time.  I don't think anyway.  (:

Sunlight.Shadows.Spiderwebs. Yes, I'm a little obsessed with this bush in my front yard.  It's just that I keep seeing something different about it every day.  Today, I actually spent a bit of time sitting in my wicker rocker with camera in hand.  The bush is RIGHT there so... Another tough day with no end in sight.  I feel like I'm wearing too many hats and I'm not doing any of them justice.  Too many things to do and none of them seem to be what I really would like to be doing.  (:   And I ALWAYS feel this way about this time of the season. It's short-lived.  But, I did get to spend most of the day with my crabby grandbaby.  And I got to sit in my rocker without any demands from anyone for almost an hour!!  So life is good?
