Looks like autumn is approaching Prince Edward Island.

There is something about this photo of a tree peeking over my sister’s neighbor’s roof that I just like. Perhaps it is the cloud’s echo of the tree’s shape, or the juxtaposition of the nearly horizontal hard straight line of the eaves trough to the softer vertical shapes of the tree and cloud.. or just the colors. More likely a combination of all of these elements.

In Wyoming, more land and sky than trees.

I saw this cloud/jet trail combination from where I sat at an outside mall restaurant. I jumped up and tried out several locations, but decided I liked this view the best. This is my favorite type of palm tree.. such a beautifully sculpted trunk. It gives a bit of texture to this otherwise pretty smooth scene.

Before and After: The Barber Makes A House Call

This desert scene with mountains, clouds, sunset and cacti barely discernible in the distance is definitely dominated by this little tree silhouetted in the foreground.

These gnarly old trees on a backroad that runs up to the carretera between Jocotepec and Ajijic seemed to me to be dancing. Please click on them to enlarge the photos.

I spied this colossal housing project for birds from a boat on the Amazon River in Peru.

This is a scene from a dry lake bed that stretches for many miles on either side of the road that leads from Ajijic to La Manzanilla. During part of the year, the lake bed might be filled with water, although it is very shallow. At other times, it is dry and frequent dust devils and small tornadoes raise the dust in twisting columns. I’ve driven through it literally surrounded by dozens of these little twisters. This sign, “Con Tolvanera, Encienda Sus Luces” means “During Dust Storms, Turn on Your Lights.” I don’t know why the picture tickles my fancy, but it does. So, it’s my oddball for today.

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.
