Colors in nature

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

Ok so it may not be a fresh off the press photo story Friday but I was just going through a few of the "old" photos yesterday and posting them on my website.

Here are a few of the ones I found was interesting in one way or another ;-)

The first one is from one of our walks up to the lower White oak canyon falls. This one I remember mostly because I spotted the red leaves on the tree and it was kind of "sticking out".
The funny part is how Jacki's response was why in the world I would take a photo of red leaves and a couple of months later a very similar photo shows up on the front page of one of the nature photo magazines. That keeps being funny ;-)



Next up is another one from the same location. The stream in the background is coming from the falls but at this place it's just a little stream with a couple of drops along the way. My attempt was to have an interesting background with some colors in the foreground.



And finally from a little pool of still standing water next to the white oak canyon falls is a single red leaf in the water. This is of course interpreted a wee little bit and I dropped all colors but the color in the leaf.



It has been a while since my last visit to the mountains and with house painting, cleaning, moving and all that good stuff it may be a while. In the mean time at least I got a few photos around from previous visits ;-)

Have a great Friday and wonderful weekend...

Photostory Friday

As some of you may already know we went to see Disney on Ice on Valentines day.
We got some great seats. Really close to the ice and all the action.

The cool part is that we did get to see all of these:

Disney dancing


Pluto


Donald


The really cool part is of course Mickey and Minnie





For Emma though that entire princess thing is what is on the top of the list. So I think one of the really big highlights was this one:


Unfortunately there were quite a lot of these (and well afterward we found that we went to the incredible Disney on ice...)





But all in all. Isn't this just one of the things that makes it all worth it:


For me it was really cool seeing the entrance to China town. The first pictures I took was in daylight and yeah they were ok... but that's about it. Just ok. After dinner I took a few more and with it being darker the lights were lit and it is soo much cooler :-)


Wrapping up the day we were heading home on the Metro


Just catch a ride and it will take you half way home (yeah that's another long long story but well...)


Have a great weekend :-)
