VPW March/April - Metal

Nice metal and a start of my week-end


This is a nice touch for the seniors.  Most of us
need a rest stop, however, I don't think I have
ever seen anyone using the bench.
Maybe we are more durable than we think.
I did pass this way starting a beautiful week-end
at the beach.

VPW March/April - Unexpected/Blessing

Point of view!

Is it really 'unexpected' to find this visitor?
OR
Maybe to him it is just a blessing!

Still to early for the humming birds but
the winter guys are having a ball with
this squirrel and the sunflower seeds.

VPW March/April - Blue (re do)


Original 'tilted' horizon



Reworked image below

Straightened image and some of the rocks
were lost but I think enough remain so one
can still get a feel for the area.
I should have done this to start!

VPW March/April - Blue


No doubt blue!
(and I have two entries)
Cliffs of Moor (Moher)
County Clare Ireland

One of the most photographed scenes in Ireland
so I failed the "don't take a picture like all the tourist do".

However, it's one of my favorite places.


#2
Same water (Atlantic Ocean)
and just as blue!
I believe all water in Ireland is blue.

So, composition error number 2 has to do
with the horizon not being horizontal.
But changing it seemed to screw up the rocks.
Probably should have just cropped out the sky now
that I am posting and talking to myself.

A Friday Assignment

A lazy (busy) way out
but maybe the bricks can be
classed as stacked.


Vowels A and O
better seen in color

A busy week-end with important stuff!
Golf
Soccer
Basketball
Softball
and then Softball again.

But I really did think about the assignment!

VPW March/April - Conspicuous

Is this conspicuous or what?
La Rumba, Barcelona

Conspicuous -  1."easily seen or noticed; readily visible or observable",
2. "attracting special attention, as by outstanding qualities or eccentricities".
Nothing more needs said!

Fill Your Frame


I see this fruit stand at every meal and so glad
to get to share it with someone else.
It is about 1 and a half feet tall but this
shot was made close up to fill the frame.
It really does give a different look.
