Mockingbird, What Are You Doing?

mockingbird with wings outstretched (640x427)The mockingbird was lifting his wings, pulling them close to his body, lifting his wings, and I realized he was probably showing off to a female. The things we do in the name of love.

But I did think the shadow he made when his wings were outstretched were pretty cool too. 🙂

Have a great day!!!

Black Wolf in Shadows

When I took the picture, it was hard seeing him in the shadows with the the trees also in the way. When I captured him, did his nose show, or was it covered in shadow too? I couldn’t tell from the distance I was from him.

Traditional cast.

I thought it was interesting to see what a black and white wolf would like in the black shadows in black and white. I think I like the blue cast better. In any event, it gives a different feel to the shot. I was thrilled to see when I got home and was able to look at the pictures on my computer, that the shadow from the tree branch didn’t hide his beautiful face. This was the alpha male. And his eyes were sharp and watching me, perfect for the shot.

I love it when wild animals are so nice to give me a great photo op! And better still, that I managed to capture the shot without making a total mess of it!

Have a super great weekend! Off to write!

Flamingos and their shadows (2) (427x640)

I love reflections and I love shadows.

The puppies sometimes still bark at shadows. And shadows can be scary, camouflage, define an image in simplest form.

Have a great day!!!

Sun and Shadows in San Antonio–the Alamo & It’s Nearly Time to Party!!!

RWA 2014,, San Antonio 034 (640x427)

The sun peeking through the wrought iron fences of one of the arches at the Alamo.

Shadows and Ivy (640x427)

I took a picture of the ivy trailing down the wall, but what I found fascinating when I looked at the picture later was the iron decoration, the beam, and the ivy’s shadows.

RWA 2014,, San Antonio 018 (640x427)

A ray of sunlight on the flowers that made it look like they were ready to beam up, aye, Scottie?

trellis with vines (640x427)

The lovely vine covered trellis, and the interesting patterns of live oak shadows across the grass.

Squirrel Alamo (639x640)

Two spots of sun next to the squirrel who decided to turn just as I snapped the shot! He looks a bit contorted, doesn’t he?

Texas bench (640x427)

And the slats of the Texas bench.

Okay, back to work, no more goofing off!

Tree Branch Shadow Art

tree branch shadow (640x480)

I love clouds and water and trees and birds. The Canada geese were collecting material for bird’s nests. All of them had their beaks full of the mulch around the trees. And most of the boats are still not in the water because Chicago can still get a late freeze. This is Lake Michigan and it was a beautiful clear day. Bonnie, who lives in Chicago, says that it’s often a gray day in the winter/spring. But it was beautiful when I was at the lake that day. 🙂

I was trying to get a picture of the Canada geese, but I had my point and shoot camera so the geese didn’t turn out that well. But I loved the blue sky highlighting the still bare branches and the tree branch shadows on the grass. Do you see the ferris wheel at Navy Pier?

Have a super great day!

Back to the writing!
