One last look at color…
Here in New Jersey, we’re bracing for hurricane Sandy to hit. So far things are quiet, but it soon won’t be! The anticipation is the worst part! Unfortunately, there are still so many beautiful leaves on the trees, that in a couple days will be gone… so here is one last look at some autumn color… stay safe everybody!
Still working through my sunrise shots…
This is another shot from my early morning walk in Wildwood, NJ. I didn’t realize how many shots I took, until I started doing some processing in Lightroom! This is a shot I really like. The water running up onto the beach wasn’t very interesting and didn’t add much to the image. So, I cropped it a bit to focus more on the angle of the sun rays. I love the line of highlighted clouds. My eyes were drawn to those clouds immediately! What do you think?
Finally…
This pure white feather is beautiful when bathed in the glow of the sunrise. Unfortunately, it has a mind of its own! It was a bit camera shy, flying up into the air just at the wrong time. I thought I was going to miss this moment when the sun shows off the texture and the highlights. Luckily it sat still just long enough!
Algae memories…
This small piece of algae washed up during the sunrise and brought back so many memories! Funny, cause it just looks like a slimy little “tree” sticking up from the sand. I took a Phycology class in college. Everything you ever wanted to know about the biology of algae and seaweed! I was a marine biology major at the time, so it made sense to take the class about what many marine animals would be eating…turns out it was a tough class (and kind of boring, sorry Dr.Liddle !). There are more types of algae than I ever imagined !! Unfortunately, out of sight out of mind, and I don’t know what type this is, but it made for an interesting little reflection shot!
End of the week…
I feel like it has been a long week. Lots of rainy weather and cranky days (my 11 month old!)… Time to end the week with a beautiful neighborhood sunset, and start the Memorial Day weekend with a positive attitude! We will have fun at the shore, and Lucy will take some naps! A mom can dream… …..Have a great weekend everybody!
Weapon X forever!
Back in 2008, my husband and I went to the Philadelphia Eagles Charity Carnival. We met Brian Dawkins! (The best Eagle ever and a great man off the field too.) As you can tell from our faces, we were thrilled! Brian Dawkins retired from the NFL yesterday, so I wanted to share this memory. Thanks Dawk for 16 great years of big hits! 🙂
The Avenue of the Arts…
Avenue of the arts light show… fun to watch.. a free show in Philadelphia!
Philadelphia…
Not a perfect picture, I know, but I love the lights in this shot. Just makes me think of all the activity on city streets.
