I thought I would share my pictures of the “supermoon” from my view in Southwest FL. I am not in possession of a lot of high dollar equipment; took these with my daughter’s Canon DSLR with a zoom lens attached. It was fun to capture these and quite simple. Hope you enjoy!

I think these photos from a trip to Olympic National Park depict “curves” very nicely.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Fleeting #2
June 7, 2013 6 Comments
I wrote this poem today after gleaning inspiration from this photo I recently took. Lately, more than ever, I have learned to enjoy the “right nows” in my life. We are always rushing things, thinking that something in the future is the big thing that will finally right our world or somehow perfect it. We have to live for now, cherish each moment with our loved ones. Time is fleeting and we never know what today, much less tomorrow holds. Be blessed!
Time is fleeting, time is flying, and time is promptly rushing by
While I sit and wait for “moments”, the sun is setting in the sky
Wasting the now, biding my time, as the important event; it draws near
Losing the present, while lost in the future, forsaking the now and the here
Might I live in this moment, embrace this fine hour, presently finding the bliss
Making beautiful memories today, on which I will soon reminisce

The challenge this week is “fleeting”….I love this photo; I’ve always wondered not only what she was doing, but what she was thinking. I live for moments like these!

To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality.
It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.

Weekly Photo Challenge: The sign says
June 4, 2013 Leave a Comment
This week’s photo challenge was “The Sign says”. When I was taking these, I wasn’t thinking about focusing on the sign and integrating it into the photograph in a creative way, but here is my humble offering anyway. This is great, because it is causing me to learn and to think more about my photos!
Not a great picture, cute sign we found on one of the beaches in HI
Where do we go first? In Abacos, Bahamas

I was sitting out in the sun today, taking time out to reflect on the week, and this little guy was making a fuss hanging out in a tree overhead.

Soon after, a friend joined him
And then there were two
I got to watch them chase each other around the tree

Weekly photo challege: Escape
May 18, 2013 Leave a Comment
This week’s photo challenge is escape. I find that when I need to get away from it all, I usually find myself near a beach, or at least water; be it a beach, river, lake, or even a bathtub.
My soul finds it’s refuge and solace in the Word of God.
