My version of "Daily Photos" will be ever-so-typical of myself: 'A Different Little Twist'!!

I'm using this gallery as an impetus: one of my present goals is to add several photos per day into this website.
As I'm doing so, I will choose one of the photos to include in this 365 day project!
(If I experience a difficult time choosing which image to use as my 'Daily Photo', I'll add the other choice(s) into my Contender gallery)

Occasionally, there will be days when the photo was actually taken on that particular day!
This will probably be governed by available time and my creative spirit!

The photos within this gallery are available to order as prints and other merchandise; click on the 'buy' icons.

I will appreciate any comments and/or critiques; click on the 'add comments' on the bottom left, and please include your name! You can also vote on the photos, if you choose; drag your pointer onto the enlarged image on the right; a box will appear on the top right which allows the voting process. Just click either yea-or-nay!

Thank you for visiting this Gallery, and I hope you enjoy the photos presented here!

(Sorry John!  Headed to kitchen for breakfast, before uploading DP, and a few of Bambi's buddies were cruising through our yard.  So, this one seemed much more apropos for today.)

Early last evening, I found it VERY difficult to practice being non-judmental when someone here in our (heavily wooded) neighborhood chose to use some big-ass gun (within city limits) and attempted to kill one of the bucks that wander the properties :( 
Somehow my husband, Maria and I instinctively knew what the shot had been for; I ran in the direction of the shot in time to watch a buck finish coming down the slope and manage to  cross the street onto our property and collapse in the gulley:( 
He had been hit in the rightside butt. I immediately started yelling at the top of my lungs "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING??" And on, and on, and on I yelled---I haven't been that mad in a LONG time.  
Retrospectively, it was very unwise of me to have be screaming like that NOT from the cover of some trees. I am grateful right now for my safety. 
We had called the police; three squad cars arrived. The buck got scared and managed to get up, climb the hill and hide behind our shed. They did put it out of its misery:(

The shot came from across the street and up the hill; our neighbors from across the drive came out to investigate also. He was pissed, too, and walked to that next street uphill to try to find the asshole! Coward never did show their self---knowing the cops would have hauled their sorry ass out of here! And the police would have had to find the 'fool' actually standing there holding the gun. Of course, 'someone' never had the courage for confession; was a bummer:(
Then we learned that since it fell on private property, that it would be up to us to take care of it. After several calls, we found someone who was very happy to look forward to fresh venison. 
I'm still trying to not be judgmental; and am not succeeding with that quite yet:(

Check out these links to photos I posted of some of our deer:

Spent a little time at a water park this evening; the light was wonderful; as was the company!
August 16 

 I've been a touch busy and am just now creating the gallery from our most recent photo 'expedition' with  ALEX  (K. Tiethof)  (aktpics).
Alex armed Maria with his extra DSLR!  Uh-oh!  She was lovin' it!
Here's what they were aiming at:  Avila Bay and pier

Hey.....this one's for Alex, Maria and AndreaKaus!

 I posted yesterday about Maria and I sharing another S'Mugger get-together with ALEX  (K. Tiethof)  (aktpics)!

Part of our local tour for Alex was taking him to our favorite bird-watching spot .  Yesterday's DP was taken there; [somewhat] showing one of the reasons for being a favorite spot;   standing on a bluff, we're looking at a BIG rock, which is the same height as the bluff, and @25 ft. offshore. Several varieties of birds use this rock (and every other rock in the area!) as a place to roost.  There are thousands of birds, giving us much to watch.  The best part is as they fly inbetween the bluff, and the rock.  This means that sometimes they're flying by at our eye level-- at times only 5 - 10 ft. away-- then sometimes below bluff height!!  This provides unique and incredible perspective!

Alex has also posted some shots here , and here of our shooting spree together!
*************************************************************************************
My --Tiara-- is off to those of you that have posted the gorgeous, sharp images of BIF!!
This was the best I could accomplish; sometime soon, I will be going to  try again in late afternoon, and hope for no fog.
August 10

We have been priviledged to share another visit with Alex K. Tiethof! 
 We bribed him with another 'Premium' RV facility, if he decided to begin his journey homeward by heading back this way from Santa Barbara, to keep himself and his home on wheels out of the L.A. area!!

My friend Maria and I took him to Morro Bay, then south to Shell Beach.
Another great time was had by all!

I'm ready for a looong nap now; more about our S'Mugger get-together tomorrow!
August 7

Where in the world is Alex K. Tiethof?!

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

I'm spending photo time creating the gallery  of our photo 'expedition' with Alex

(I'm not quite done yet!)

Maria's photos from our day together can be found here
August 5

Another fabulous S'Mugger get-together!
ALEX  (K. Tiethof)  (aktpics) is presently touring California and we were honored with his presence last night and today!!!

My friend Maria has also been watching Alex's DP gallery since right after I joined this community ! (no, she is not a member of SmugMug)
She was as tickled as I was at having an opportunity to spend some time with Alex!

So, since he was King for the Day, the first place we took him to was a Castle!!
Some things just HAVE to be!

We 'wet his appetite' as to what is available here in our neck of the woods as far as places to go and things to do.  Now, he's hungry for more!  Our day went by way too quickly, was wonderfully enjoyable and the weather was perfect!

He really was having a good time!!  I'm thinking his stance here was making it clear that he was NOT going to be wearing a Tiara or one of those fluffy feathered things!!  He did see your comments ladies!

Within the next couple of days, I'll have a gallery up with the rest of the shots from today!

Thank you for a great time together Alex....and Maria!

'Fanny' wanted to show off her new Fascinator and shades!!

It's all in a day's work!?!?
August 2

Still working with the photos from the Ladies Camping Trip!

My daughter, Kamryn and I are always up for a good hike!  And it was her turn to carry the pack!
Behind and below us is Doris Lake. Please refer to the link to see a 3 (verticle) shot panorama of the lake, taken two hours previously, before we climbed to the top of this rock.
(This shot was taken by our up and coming photographer buddy, Zac!)
************************************************************************************************
Now for the really fun and exciting news:
Guess who's coming to dinner?!?!    ALEX  (K. Tiethof)!!!!   (aktpics) 
I'm really looking forward to  our S'Mugger get-together! :)
We're not sure if he'll be arriving Tuesday or Wednesday.  He's heading to Santa Barbara from the Bay area and is taking Hwy. 101, which puts him driving right through the middle of my 'neck of the woods'!!  Yay!
Don't worry y'all !  I'll speak softly, and [not] carry my big stick!  (I only use that for hiking!)
You might just see something from us soon :o)
