Beautiful photographs

I have started this mainly for Les as he is the photographer amongst us, and this will be a place were we can all visit to see what he has snapped, rather than have then scattered about the group. My postings will mainly be what I have found on the web, I will mark the ones that were taken by either my son or daughter :) If you want to just post a photo, as many as you like, with no explanation that's fine, but if you want to let us know a little more about the image that would be great.

I found this on photobucket this morning and I thought how beautiful

That is indeed a beauty! I like to take macro shots too but that is quite exceptional. Well found Sue!

Glad you like it, I won't be able to top this one will I, but hopefully I will find some just as good.

Yes, it's full of energy isn't it! Pure joi de vivre.

Here's an exact opposite! A moody evening scene taken in the San Juan Islands, Pacific Northwest of the USA a few years back. We had chartered a boat and this was from one of our night anchorages.

That is very atmospheric, and seems to change from a blue to purple as you look at it.

I do have some photos that I have taken over the years, no masterpieces, but they are all film shots, so I would have to get them scanned and do all the things needed to be done to post them, and I can't do that, Ross is never too keen to do it for me, but he will if nagged enough!

That trip was pure magic. It was part of a journey we took with my sister and her husband in their RV from where they live in the Bay Area, California, to Whistler in British Columbia, Canada. We spent a week cruising the San Juans in a rather lovely boat and visited many beautiful places.

I can almost hear the twisting of arms as you 'persuade' Ross to crank up the scanner. Please, please Ross! We want to see your ma's pictures!

I missed this reply, sorry for not noticing.

That must have been a wonderful trip, got any more snaps?

Getting Ross to do anything is a very delicate process, it has to be done with great care....... he must be part donkey!

I will try to bring the subject up today and see if it is received well........ don't hold your breath though ;)

Today was not the day to ask Ross to do anything, and I know tomorrow is not going to be a good one either...... so perhaps I will try Wednesday ;0)

Sue, I take my drawings and "snap" them and then use Microsoft Photo Program as a means to edit. I live on a meager income so I have to use my ingenuity to accomplish many of my tasks.

Love,
Melody
