a NEW Thursday thought

Happy Thursday!

I was stalking this little guy recently. I captured him as he hopped around on the ground, then he flittered into the trees. Here he was, hopping around on the ground.

I captured him on this ledge, and then all of a sudden he took flight.

Today’s lesson: Don’t hop around the ground forever. Take flight!

Have a great day and I hope you learn or do something NEW today.

more NEW photo challenge entries

Happy Sunday!

When I read the theme of this week’s Lens-Artist Photo Challenge the above photo immediately came to mind. I do believe it fits the theme (in more ways than one). The theme is Framing.

I also want to enter the Sunday Sills Color Challenge and the Cee’s FOTD challenge with these bright and cheery yellow captures:

Have a great day! I hope you do or learn something NEW. Now I think I’ll go out and shoot my camera some more and get more NEW captures.

a few NEW photos of the Flaming Gorge area

Happy Monday! We recently visited the Flaming Gorge Recreation Area. It’s a huge reservoir in southern Wyoming and northern Utah. We stayed in a little town called Manila, Utah. It was fun to visit somewhere NEW. Certain areas were crowded, but it’s such a large reservoir that many places, especially up in the mountains (from where I took the above photo), were relatively quiet.

Maybe we’ll go again sometime and play in the water. There wasn’t a very big beach area, so those places were the most crowded. Although I’m not too sure we’ll return, because there are SO many other NEW places to explore!

Have a great day. I hope you learn or do something NEW today!

NEW photo of my week #18

laxstretching

This week I was at the top of some bleachers taking photos of my son playing tennis, but when I turned and looked behind me at the football field, I liked this photo opp as well!  I’m assuming these lacrosse players are stretching either before or after their practice.  Too bad I didn’t have my wide-angle lens on because their were A LOT more players in this exact position!  It would’ve been nice to capture the entire field!…nevertheless, this is my NEW photo of the week.  Have a great day everyone!
