favorite shot

more color, originally uploaded by beckeyz.

I took several photos at the museum. All of them are okay or pretty nice, but this random one is my favorite. There is a treehouse at the museum, and they have put some colored gels up in the peak of the roof, so when I saw the colors on the floor, I had to shoot them. I know, I'm a goof.

Sweet Spot

I hardly ever get to catch the sunset on film with no phone lines or electrical wires in the way. Now I've found a sweet spot to get them, and it's not too far from home either. Yay!

Mom

Interesting shot huh? Looks like the backhoe is gonna scoop her up.

She was keeping me company while I was playing with my camera and I snuck this shot in. She's holding one of my lenses for me.

Rusty old tractor

This tractor caught my eye at my sisters house. Truth be told, I was shooting a lot of stuff out there - trying out my new zoom lens and just having fun trying to make some ordinary stuff look interesting through the lens.

Spider Lily Bloom

My sister noticed that her spider lily had bloomed while we were watching the kids climb trees. I took this nifty macro shot of it. Pretty cool huh?

Close-up

...of one of the pretty dead wildflowers. I had to hold it still because it was pretty windy out. Caught my finger in the original, but I cropped it out.

Glowing?

So I saw these flowers on the side of the road during the 2 hour drive to my sisters. I had noticed them on the way there, and when we headed home and the sun was beginning its descent for the day, they appeared to be glowing. I didn't really know what they were so I decided to pull-over, get some shots and satisfy my curiosity.

They were pretty much just sun-dried weeds....but really just as pretty, I'm sure, as when they were freshly blooming.
