Yes....I missed uploading a DP for yesterday! By the time we finished that 24 hrs. of frivilous fun in the desert area near Ridgecrest (California), I was too tired to tend to my DP; I'm admitting it!!
Had another outstanding day today; ending our trip by arriving in our own little hometown at sunset!
This is what we were watching while driving the last couple of miles down the highway! SPECTACULAR!! What a "welcome home"! Took the first available offramp in order to catch this shot!! (Tough choice, though! This was right after a double rainbow which we also pulled over for!!)

We did spend some discussion as to how difficult it was going to be to choose a DP for yesterday, and today!! Over the next several days, I will be using shots from this trip as DP's, as I add photos to the gallery.

October 2

The 'sunset show' at our local lake was very beautiful this evening; I couldn't catch the lightning & thunder with the camera (!!) and then the slight sprinkling gave way to a downpour. YAY! First rain we've had in quite a while. This afternoon and tonight felt....tropical!

I'll begin creating a new gallery tomorrow morning!
Not quite sure what title to give the gallery; "Proud and Propitious Poultry"?!

At long last, today I created a gallery for Yosemite!! This gallery will probably NEVER be complete....
I LOVE YOSEMITE!!

One of my recent visits to Y.V. happened to be during a full moon. I did two 'practice sessions' on consecutive nights; layering with warm clothes before heading out! On the first night, I managed to break my tripod :(
This shot was taken on the second night, using a big knit scarf to support the camera. And with that, I was certainly limited as to where I could set the camera up; was scouting for posts, rocks, stumps, etc.
My attention was on the full moon rising to the left of half Dome; also hoping to get some water reflection.
I was somewhat pleased with the results---especially since I had never done any night photography previous to this.

Being most exceptional was in turning around, to see this: looking towards the southern part of the Valley, with the moon behind me! WOW!

The icing on the cake was that during the several hours I spent out there, I had all of Yosemite Valley completely to myself! --except for an occasional car in the distance--

An incredibly sensational and memorable experience!

The feeding frenzy this evening was very animated!
First time in quite a while that I've taken photos of the lil' cuties!

Heading out very early in the morning on a business trip w/my husband.....Chicago!!
Really looking forward to this. I've only been there once, for a day, and have always wanted to go back to explore for a couple of days! Patience paid off ;-)

Tried to set up a get-together with Art Hill, but he'll be away visiting famiy during my days there ;-( Hopefully I'll be able to post a couple of DP's while we're there!
Blessings!

While walking past this beautiful flower bed today, I was inspired to set my parasol amongst the color.

"I can see you!"

On May 17, I was working at my computer, and started hearing some little scratching noise coming from the far corner. I was thinking it was a mouse which I was going to be bothered by having to do something about it! Long story shorter, I finally found this potato bug inbetween some of my big sheets of scrapbooking papers. I gathered him up and was about to toss him out the window, when the thought came to me that since I was working on Smug Mug, he would be a great DP, for either that night, or save him for a night when I needed a shot to upload.
I set him on my desk and right beyond him was this pair of eyes staring at him. I moved the eyes a touch closer for better comp!

There is a story that goes along with these beautiful eyes! I'll save that for another DP!

P.S. I learned from this little photo session that these little creatures 'play dead'! Except for the little windshield wiper type thing by his eye, on the right side....those still move as he's imitating a dead bug!

October 20

The skies were absolutely beautiful tonight; full moon, gorgeous clouds and very cool colors in the clouds around the moon.
It was a great practice session with the camera. So much to learn!

Yes....I added a touch of contrast and a 'bit' of saturation.

I created a gallery with more images from this session tonight: Our Beautiful Moon

Hey....Agilitypics....this one's for you!

Back to Sequoia Natl. Park - - -
While we were standing in complete awe of the magnitude and magnificience of this incredible Sequoia tree, we met this darling couple from Belguim. During a nice visit, they asked me to take a picture of the two of them with their camera. I then asked permission to take some shots of them w/my camera, and explained the DP community. I told them of Agilitypics, and that I would direct this post to him!

They are: Lien VanDuffel and Benny Janssens
We had already given the borrowed pen back to its owner, when I asked what town they were from. They pronounced it, and when I knew I wouldn't remember that, they told me that the name would translate to "Sunnyville"?

Lien and Benny: We really enjoyed our visit with you, and hope that you did also manage to visit Yosemite!?
Here's a link to Agilitypics; he lives in the town of Ogy: http://agilitypics.smugmug.com/

The General Sherman
Heralded as "the world's largest living organism", it has a base circumference of 102 ft, a diameter of 36 1/2ft, is 274 feet tall and has its first major branch 130 ft. above the ground. This first branch has a diameter, at its connection to the tree trunk, of 7 ft! The tree's trunk weighs about 1400 tons and contains enouch wood to build 40 or more houses. (Although we never found info with an approimate square footage that they were calculating these houses into their formula with).
Despite its estimated age of 2300 - 2700 years, the General Sherman Tree is growing vigorously. Every year, the General sherman grows enough new wood to make a 60-foot-tall tree of usual proportions. The tree was named in 1879 by James Wolverton after the general under whom he had served during the Civil War.

In all the world, Sequoias grow naturally only on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada, most often between 5,000 and 7,000 feet of elevation. There are some 75 groves in all. Chemicals in the wood and bark provide resistance to insects and fungi, and thick bark insulates them from most fire. The main cause of Sequoia deaths is toppling. They have a shallow root system, with no taproot. Soil moisture, root damage, and strong winds can lead to toppling.

Two shot panorama, stacked horizontally --- And, no! I do not know why I did not also take the third shot which would have incuded the top of this beautiful giant!?!?

While working further with these photos, I found that I DID manage a 4-shot panorama, stacked horizontally, showing this incredible tree in its entirety!!
It's in my Sequoia gallery

Well, this isn't a Bunny but HAPPY EASTER anyway!!

Last evening I noticed one of the (Rufus?) Hummingbirds perched on the feeder. I walked to the glass sliding door window, and it continued to sit there, when usually they fly off as soon as I approach the window. I slowly slid open the door, and it stayed there. I stuck my head out the door and it continued to stay. I slowly went back in to fetch the camera, telling my husband that the Hummingbird was behaving much differently and maybe I had an opportunity here. I slowly went back out the door, with the camera ready and it let me take a couple of (flash) shots; moving closer toward the feeder I was able to take a couple more shots, as it stayed perched, and all fluffed up. I got even closer--I was now about 4 ft. from the feeder, taking a few more shots, when my husband came to the door, saying "I think it is trying to tell us that it's buddy is having problems.....there's one inside our bedroom!"

As I started past the feeder, toward our bedroom door on the deck, the bird at the feeder took off! I was relieved, thinking something was wrong with it.

We have no idea how long the other one had been stuck in our bedroom. We have a vaulted ceiling and it had found a rod to rest on, at the highest side, and each time it tried to fly, it just kept buzzing around, knocking against the ceiling, then going back to the rod. My husband brought in our tallest two-legged ladder, took a baseball cap, and headed up. The bird tried several more times to fly, but after bumping into the ceiling again and again, it came back to the rod and sat still while he placed the hat slowly over the bird, then using his other hand he gently closed the material of the hat around the bird. We took it outside, turned the hat upside down and opened it. The little hummer just sat there. I reached in and was stroking its back, while it was looking at us. I reached in, cupped the bird in my hand and took it over to the feeder. It was tiny; only taking up about 2/3 of my palm. As soon as it's feet touched the feeder, it immediately began eating. It ate and sat, and ate and sat, for about 15 minutes, not being bothered by me using the camera, with the lens being
about 3 feet from her(?). After those @ 15 min, she was well enough to fly off!! : ) : )
Swear to goodness, I believe my husband was right in that the first one was letting us know that something was wrong, and it needed to get our attention!

L: The Attention-Getter, R: The Captive..... free, at last!!!!

OK! Here's my version of 'Fall Colors'.

Have to really keep a lookout for such, here in the Central Coastal area of California. The bright and colorful Fall foilage is not plentiful!

This IS Poison Oak; Nasty but Beautiful !

This IS a REAL LIFE photograph!!
This was happening during one of those few times when I did not have my camera with me; our neighbor ran in to grab his camera, then handed it to me, while he went to get a rope!

May 7

OK, Hillary! Back at ya.....but I like this one of you better!!

That really was fun to be laying on the lawn taking photos of each other! Good idea, Monica! Looking forward to posting one of Darron and Robin, watching us!!

Instead of working on more of my S.F. shots today, I was distracted by a wedding I was commissioned to shoot! Just got home, am ready to rest my tired body and 'photo time' for the next couple of days will probably be to process the wedding shots!
I'm a touch overwhelmed with photos right now, but I do love it!! And I will keep working on 'our gallery'! I promise!

Make sure you show this to your honey!!

January 8

Just noticed info about an SP challenge?? I happened to have taken a few at our Noble Gathering this afternoon.
So.....I've posted two DP's for today.
BTW: great idea, Janet!

July 3

I'm getting closer to that 'hard-to-manage Hummer shot!!! This lil' cutie and I dined together this evening out on the deck!!
I was not in 'ready position, with camera in hand'; my plan didn't include a hummingbird practice session tonight. But I was easily derailed when she kept coming back to the feeder, and didn't seem to be bothered by movement on my part. She returned very soon after I had come back out with the camera.
This particular feeder is usually being watched over by a very territorial male, who does not like being photographed! However, his little girlfriend here was posing! I just need to figure out how to get focused shots!? I am curious as to where he was, and why she was being allowed so much time at the feeder?
Anyone care to offer suggestions re: focus issues, I'd be very appreciative!
BTW: This is a fairly tight crop, with slight increase in constrast after B&W conversion.

Hey...KurtPreston!! Tonight, I didn't even catch a glimpse of that 'rare, neon, all electric hummer'!

I started a new gallery for Hummingbirds

1/11/11

I had an incredibly cool time at the lake this evening!! The sky was looking like it might be a very pretty show and when I first arrived, my Swan buddy was way over at the other side. As the show continued, the Swan finally made his way over to me. I had noticed that two 'fishermen' were using canned corn on their hooks and since I didn't bring any Swan treats, I asked to have some so to offer to the Swan. Everybody was happy!

I'm sparing y'all another Swan shot....however---I DID get some gorgeous shots of him tonight!! Swan 1/11/11.

I also added some other beautiful shots of this evenings sky show in my Atascadero Lake gallery.

April 2

It was a beautiful day in Chicago, with gorgeous dramatic skies and some sunshine!
I went for a long walk and found MANY things of interest, and thoroughly enjoyed my day! It will be necessary to come back here again, as there is much more to be explored!!

It was very difficult to choose which image to us as a DP! But this infamous landmark just has to be shared.
In most of the shots I took of this fascinating 'Bean' (aka: Cloud Gate), I was trying not to include the MANY other people--with cameras--doing all the silly stuff they were doing. This has to be the most popularly used object for SP's, ever!!
I'm very interested in finding out whoever came up with this idea, and how it was made--brilliant! I think they had help from ....elsewhere ;-)

February 25

Our son, Steven, presented me with the gift of this Pretty Purple Poultry Pen!! He handed it to me saying "I saw this in a store today, and it reminded me of you!" ROFLMAO !!!!
"Well, somehow that just has to be my photo for today!!"

Later this afternoon, I was admiring the first of my Daffodils (through the camera lens!), thinking one of those would be my DP!

Then, while the sunset was still high, I was nudged with the thought of sharing both of them....together!

I added a couple more in my Contender gallery.

October 28

Noticed this guy while I was driving around this morning! I just had to go get my camera and return so
I could share it with all of you! TGIF

I really appreciate all of your many wonderful comments, especially over the last several days. It has been
a great distraction for me and a help to raise me above the sadness over the loss of our beloved dog. Thank you ;-)

*********************************S'Mugger get-together - San Jose, California******************************
The Queens of San Jose
...because it was Saturday!
Or, ...because we could ;-)

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting fellow S'Muggettes this last Saturday for a photo walk in downtown San Jose.
bottom: left) my daughter Kamryn, center) Billie--billiejean, right) Laura--warrenfam
top: left) myself, right) Colleen--Colleen Griffith

It felt like meeting up with long time friends that I just hadn't seen for quite a while!
We had the extra bonus of meeting Jim, Colleen's husband!
We met for breakfast, then leisurely walked while enjoying the incredibly beautiful day of 81 degrees! ;-)
I'm working on creating a gallery of our time together which might take another day or two, but for now I
just had to share this one with you all !
THANK YOU Billie, Laura , Colleen and Jim for this wonderful time together; it was great to meet you!

P.S. I saw this sign during our walk, which was after a gentleman had handed each of us a $1,000,000 bill !!

January 12

As I was adding last nights new photos to the Swans' gallery, inspiration dawned on me!!

This is what I posted on FaceBook:
"RAISING FUNDS TO HELP COVER THE COSTS FOR CARE OF THE POISONED
ATASCADERO LAKE SWAN !!
Please click on the link for information!!"

I included the link to my Swan gallery

Our local newspaper did run their story about the swan which came out today. They used a photo by the editor, saying they never did get the emails w/my photos. All IS well !
I called the editor, telling her of my idea. She is going to put the info in the paper, with at least one of my photos! I also called Pacific Wildlife Care, who is taking care of the sick Swan. They were appreciative, and grateful for the possible extra funds. I know of at least two donations that have been made directly to PWC today from people that noticed the FaceBook post!! This is a cool story to particiate in. I was also encouraged to volunteer at PWC.....I'll consider that one!
**********************************************
PWC posted two Swan updates on FaceBook:
" I was at the PWC rehab center yesterday (Sun. 1-9) and before I left, I peeked in on her in her hospital pool and she was looking perky (but with her sore foot back and out of the water) Thanks to the Atasc. Lake folks who donated monies to help toward her care (she gets EDTA injections twice a day for her lead poisoning and easy-to-digest gavage tubings of elemental nutrition every few hours.) I personally hope that we can either bring Mr. to come for a visit or record him so she'll know he's waiting for her!"
1/11
"At the Center today & our lovely lady had gotten herself OUT of her hospital pool and was standing in the middle of the seabird room!! - so KD, JS moved her into a Peli box with food, water, soft blanketed bottom. She's doing better I think!"
**********************************************
YAYYY !!!!!!!!!!! (about the Swan!)
***and...Wow.....THANKS SO MUCH for the wonderful comments on my verticle stacked panorama sunset!! I've only managed a few minutes at a time to look through the Dailies for the last couple of days, I'm not caught up on offering comments, but I do appreciatiate your encouragement, inspiration, and awesome talents !!

I LOVE photographing Christmas scenes!

October 23

My husband and I have both been VERY, VERY heavy hearted today :(
Our beloved 14 yr. old Cocker Spaniel, Roxy, began her demise this morning. She must have suffered some sort of stroke during last night; she had very little use of her hind end and rear legs this morning. Throughout the day, she lost all but a very slight use of her rear legs, and we had to carry anytime moving was needed.
After our heartbreaking discussion of what to do, if she does make it through tonight, we decided that for this afternoon we'd take her to one of her favorite places.....the beach!
30 min. west of us is the coastline and we headed to Cayucos Beach, @ 10 min. north of Morro Bay.
My husband carried her out to the sand, where we sat for a couple of hours. I know she enjoyed it, yet I'm sure it must have been frustrating for her since she could do nothing but lay there :(
It was a beautiful day. Our choice was wise since the predicted rain storm for tonight and tomorrow was sending in it's dark clouds by the time we were leaving.
My husband took this shot and it's sooc, with Morro Bay (with its Morro Rock) in the background.

Cont. in next DP

January 9

I'm mostly recuperated from the wedding, but in order to catch up a bit, I haven't allowed myself any type of 'photo time' for several days; I haven't taken any new shots and I've missed my interactions here in this DP community!

In January of '07, a girlfriend called me one night telling me of this frozen fountain she had just seen. I left very early the next day to get some shots in the morning light. Very seldom does it get cold enough around here to cause something like this!

Shortly after I took this, I had it enlarged and was looking at it while still in the store. A woman came over saying, "Is that a wedding cake?"

March 14

Late this afternoon, I was thinking about a DP for today and decided to find y'all another example of what some of our local trees are looking like right now! Chose to drive eastward a few minutes out of town so that where ever I found a pretty cluster of trees, the photo wouldn't be cluttered with storefronts, telephone poles, houses, etc. This is the entrance to one of our local B & B's:
Hidden Hills Bed & Breakfast

January 6

~~~~"OK....everybody.... look over here at the camera!"~~~~

I've bestowed the name of Jordana upon this beautiful Swan!! In honor of a wonderful woman that I met tonight as I was taking this shot !
(This beautiful creature might just be a male, but what do I know?! He'll grow accustomed to his new name, in time!)

***Welcome to our lovely area, Jordana! I fully believe that you will learn to love it here!

Jordana was also my impetus to (finally) create a gallery for the Swans, whom I love to go visit!
Check out the new Swan gallery.

**************Full Moon Rising Over Half Dome*****************

Last week, my sister and I spent several days absorbed in the majesty of Yosemite! We were a touch envious that we didn't get the snow which Micalngelo did during his recent visit there, but seeing as we were camping, I'm sure we were more comfortable without that experience!

The icing on our cake was the full moon! I was really excited with the idea of attempting to get some photos of that beautiful moon rising alongside Half Dome! I give my sister a lot of credit for sticking it out with me on the night of the actual 'full' moon. We were at the location of choice a little earlier than we could have, thus, we had to wait a while...and it was getting colder by the minute!! We stood, swayed, pranced, danced, sang, fidgeted, watched coyotes get a touch too close....just trying to keep warm!!
Three nights later, I set out to try again at a different location, with my sister graciously offering to "stay, and guard our campsite!"
What I experienced over the next three hours was one of 'life's most memorable'!! It was as if I had Yosemite Valley TOTALLY TO MYSELF.
The sky was glittering with stars; the air was crisp and intoxicating with the wonderful mountain aromas; the sounds were peacefully melodious!
I watched the sky to the left of Half Dome as it began to glow brighter and brighter , before the moon finally showed its face from behind mountain silhouettes. As the moon rose higher, the brighter the Valley became! 'Twas absolutely beautiful and very soul-nourishing!

My alone time was also an intense technical practice session with my camera. (Plus the fact that I had broken my tripod during the previous 'full moon session')

Johnloguk......you'll be proud! I thought of you, and your rucsac; I took an extra knitted scarf with me! It wads up any which way you want it to, as long as you can find something to place it on!! Worked like a champ!

Dedman......you'll be proud, too! I thought of you as I had to lay down on my belly, in the cold dirt, to get the shot of The Chapel (it's in my Contender gallery) because the only thing I found to wad the scarf on (as a tripod) was a (low) rock!!

I've included a few more shots from the Full Moon sessions in
my Contender gallery

August 31

KurtPreston....This one is for you!!

On August 6, I spent the afternoon lounging, basking, swimming, exploring and creating at a beach just south of Kona, on the Big Island of Hawaii. This awesome afternoon was shared with my son, Evan, my daughter, Kamryn and several of our friends who are from our hometown area of the California Central Coast; now residents of Hawaii! We planned to head out for our 2 1/2 hr. drive across the island for Hilo, after we experienced the sunset!!
I was giggling as I began taking some shots of our friend here....thinking of you, and 'your SmugMug'!!

April 28

Instead of watching the sunset from the beach area in front of our condo, I went for a walk to change it up a bit! Another glorious show!

*********************************************************************************************

I've missed my participation here in the Daily community ;-(

I have an idea for y'all to ponder:
A S'Mugger get-together!!?? The more the merrier! The first weekend in November (Friday - Sunday), meeting up in Gruene, Texas!?!?
There's some excellent entertainment scheduled for Gruene Hall (the building in the center back ground of this photo) that
weekend, playing both Friday and Saturday nights: Raul Malo

There are several nice lodging accommodations and eateries right in town within walking distance of the music venue:
List of lodging options

Gruene is a delightful historic 'village' with photo ops galore, located @45 min. south of Austin. The weather in early November is usually very comfortable. Flights would be into Austin or San Antonio.

So...any of you that happen to see this, please share the information with community members & other S'Muggers !
Maybe share the info on several of your upcoming posts over the next couple of months helping to make sure that
everyone gets a chance to see it!?

Here's to the hope that this could be a Get-together of grand proportions!!

October 25

My husband was beginning some vacation time right after our trip to Cleveland; we had an overnight lay-over in San Jose, CA then flew out the next morning for Maui! We spent a wonderful week with daughter Carli and her husband, experiencing much R & R ;-)
This was our first sunset, on October 8, with a full moon rising behind me!
