When I was asked to photograph these show dogs for their advertisement I was so excited! I love animals, and I love playing with animals and doing anything I can for them.
Once the work was done, of course we had to let Dylan jump into the water!
Houston managed to work in some play, too ;) Can’t wait to see you puppies again! Thanks for the play time.
More butterflies! Even though its wings were closed, this one still has beautiful markings.
Here is the same butterfly as I caught it during one of my attempts to get a shot of it with its wings open. You can see how fast it is!
Finally, I was able to catch a quick shot of it while it took a rest on this leaf.
So many butterflies! Visiting the Butterfly Rainforest in Gainesville, Fl was awesome! As soon as my friend Caroline and I walked into their 4 story screened in exhibit I was surrounded by big beautiful butterflies. Even being distracted with a few landing on our heads and shoulders, I was able to focus on photographing some close ups. Here are a few of my faves…
Here you can see the butterfly digging for some nectar
I love how you can see all the nectar built up on his tongue. I guess he’s saving some for later!
Usually when I see a Rainbow I am in my car on my way home from somewhere, wishing I had my camera with me so I can get pictures of it. Instead I try to use my cell phone camera while driving – not good. Yesterday, I saw this big beautiful rainbow while I was driving home. With not being to far from home, I bravely sped through our cop infested sub division so I could get home to my camera before the rainbow decided to go back into hiding, only to laugh at me again until its next appearance. At approximately 7:02pm, I skidded into my parking spot, ran upstairs to our condo, busted in the door to find my husband with a big smile saying “did you see that rainbow!? Are you going to get… hahaha! I thought so!” as I ran into our office to grab my camera. Yes! I finally made it in time to get a picture! This is the view of the rainbow as it arched over our lake. This image is actually compiled up with 10 photographs that were taken and stitched together to make this panoramic view, thanks to magic of the photomerge tool and the use of some of my photoshop skills. And that, fellow photographers, is why we should always keep a camera in our car.
This past week was spent at the Morean Arts Center in St. Pete teaching teens digital photography and photoshop at their summer art camp program. During the week, I talked about how much I like to photograph flowers by using a macro lense. These flowers were photographed at the beautiful Bok Tower Gardens. If you would like to see some pics of me teaching the classes, you can check ‘em out here and here.
After our visit to Black Mountain, NC, Mike and I stayed with my grandmother in Franklin, NC. Here are a few images I shot to showcase what we saw while we were there.
This image was taken from my Grandmother’s balcony. What a view!
I have a soft spot for trains because my dad loves them so much.
This landscape was found just outside of Franklin, on our road trip back to Florida.
What is up with the one white boot?
While spending some time at the beautiful Ridgecrest campus in Black Mountain (Asheville) North Carolina for the Gideon Christian Media Conference, I was able to capture a few little details of what made the place special to me (other than the mountains and wonderful people, of course). I really felt at home here.
