Sunday Stills - the letter "G"

This was a hard one for me... the first thing that came to mind was a "Goose" but what I was really thinking of was the white swans -- and I don't think they are a "Goose".... So for a couple of days I thought of many "G" words during my daily drive to work.  I thought of "Garage" but no way is my garage going to be part of a photo (it is in desperate need of spring cleaning).  So here ya  go....

LETTER "G"

Whimsy barn - tool shed - (small) "G"arage!

And how about this to go with your "G"arage -

A 4X4 Truck....

Black and White Wednesday!

This is a niece on her wedding day in 2008.

This picture was taken with a Kodak Easyshare CX7530.

I played around with this picture - made it black and white

and then gave it a boost and it brought some of the color out

in the flowers and the tree in the background.

This challenge is brought to us by The Long Road to China -

Lisa's photos are beautiful!

Macro Monday - February 15, 2010

I went into my archives this week - and

found this wagon wheel.   This wagon wheel

was found by the horse pasture and was

in very good shape.  I focused in on the

hub of the old wheel and then played with it -

turning it to sepia and softening the edges.

To see other pictures go to Macro Monday.

Sunday Stills - Valentine's Day

Black and White Wednesday

I've decided to join this Black and White Wednesday challenge - sorry for being a day late but I just came across it.

Thanks to  Lisa  at The Long Road to China for this Challenge.  Visit her blog and find some very delightful writing!

This is my aunt and uncle featured in my first

black and white photo.

What is ironic - is looking back through old

pictures, my Aunt was the

photographer - she doesn't take as many

any more but sure does enjoy the discs

that we supply her with.
