Nothing like a little rest in the shade of a few palm trees!


This is Annie––once in the majority but now grossly outnumbered by dogs in the house.

In Wyoming, more land and sky than trees.

Depth of Field

This may be my favorite photo I’ve ever taken. It reminds me of a Monet painting.

This photo of Yolanda’s daughter and son was taken the same day as the trees. I love the sense of wonder both of them gazing into the hazy landscape provides.

I also love the crispness of this turtle against the more muted lily pads.

I don’t know if this shot qualifies as an example of a depth of field shot as prescribed, since most of it is slightly out of focus; but I like the shot and how the flowers stand out a bit. This building conveys such a sense of mystery to me.

I couldn’t decide which of these “Monet” shots I liked best, so I included them both.
Here’s a closeup view of the wonderful flowers of the Silk Floss Tree. It is ceiba speciosa- such an interesting tree that I’m going to do another posting on it, showing its trunk and large seed pods as well.)

And, the tree itself.

What similarities do you find in these two pictures? As much of a contrast as they depict, they do have at least three things in common. What are they? Can you see the tree in the bottom picture that looks like it is wearing a shoe? Strange. (That is not one of the similarities!)http://ceenphotography.com/2015/07/09/cees-black-white-photo-challenge-large-subjects/




Yes, I took pictures the whole way today. And, my camera broke, so these are from my iPhone, which like the PC I was forced to learn how to use because of an equipment malfunction of my regular device. Fate has a hand in my education. Please click to enlarge these.
