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!

LadyKatesPhotography > October 27 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 !
LadyKatesPhotography > October 26 Meet 'Beatrice and Butthead'! Here's my version of a 'punkin' shot' ! A couple of years ago, at the beginning of October, I had just recently seen a photo similar to this! LMAO, I decided to create something like that in our yard....unbenounced to my husband! It took me a couple of days to round up all that I would need; gathering from a thrift store, the Feed & Grain (for bale of hay) and of course, a Pumpkin Patch! After figuring out the how-to's of the assembly, I chose the next day to build my new buddies! I patiently waited until my husband left for work, then started taking all the needed project pieces to the 'just perfect' location on the side of our driveway. It was really funny when our neighbor pulled in, as I was about 3/4 done! He actually came over and asked the "What the *&$% are you up to now!?!?" So, gentlemen, just imagine: I situated these cuties so that the headlights of my husband's car would shine right on them as he made the final curve up the driveway that night!! We certainly shared some good laughs during dinner! We left them there until early November! FYI: Puts a whole different twist on going pumpkin shoppin'!! I was by myself when I went to the Pumpkin Patch. Probably a good thing! I caught myself ROFLMAO !!
LadyKatesPhotography > October 25 InOurTime.....this one is for you! Presenting a few from the 'Cast of Characters' in our '1915 Tent City' historical reenactment. Yes...that is me on the far left! Our Tent City Barber, Milo, is 3rd from the left. I did hand the camera off to someone. The lighting was very tough for this one! But, do with what you've got going on, and at least it gets the point across.
LadyKatesPhotography > October 24 I'll be working on 'Tent City' photos for quite a while!! ************************************************************************************************************************************************* .........A Living 1915 Community......... Located in the Central Coast area of California, Camp Atascadero was founded by E. G. Lewis in 1913; beginning as a community of canvas tents designed to house folks coming from all over the United States, and beyond, as they purchased their land and began to build their homes and businesses during the years of 1914-1917. "Tent City" is a unique event, which relives the 1915 Tent City era. Our slice of Tent City life features local musicians actors, artisans, and historians working to re-create our local past as authentically as possible, including tents similar to those used for business and residential purposes while permanent structures were being built. This annual event is a novel way to open a window into our local heritage; to educate others as to how this town was founded and colonized, and to gain perspective into how the early settlers lived their every day lives nearly a century before television, computers, and cell phones became commonplace. "Tent City" is created by the help of wonderful community members coming together with contributions of time, effort, energy, skill, talent, passion, enthusiasm and sponsorships of money, services and products; transforming Camp Atascadero from being pages in history books to a modern reality! ********************************************************************************************************************************* I'm creating two galleries for Tent City images, and will be adding photos on a daily basis--until completion!!: The Event Now - or - Then?
LadyKatesPhotography > October 22 I've been working on 'Tent City' photos and was going to post one of those. However, this evening while I was unpacking Tent City stuff, my little Hummingbird buddies were flirting around the open garage door and I finally just HAD to oblige them (and me!!). Slight crop and adjustments to hue and midtone contrast
LadyKatesPhotography > October 19 Whew!! I'm back to the future!! Stepped back in time these last couple of days, to 1915 Tent City (the original days of Atascadero). I even had the priviledge of running into MyKey in the middle of 'Town Square' on Saturday! May I introduce Ty and Eric (the musician!) These two young men are members of the Cast of Characters for our 'historical reenactment'! And let me tell you, they ARE wonderful characters! Also, on Friday night, they did an awesome job in allowing me to take (many!) photos of them. That was fun, guys! Thanks! It takes us a year of meetings and planning to create this historical re-enactment, with the actual event taking place on the third Saturday of October, during our town's annual 'Colony Days' celebration. Our Hero's, Dan and Michael, head up the construction team, which begin their work on Wednesday morning, finishing the take down on Sunday evening. THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN!! There is a group of 'Tent Exhibitor's' which actually 'camp out' in The Colony for the weekend (providing our own security!). It's one heck of a slumber party! I work with another local Barber, the debonair and tonsorially talented Milo, to set up The Barber Tent. When I leave home on Friday morning, with my contributions of period-appropriate furnishings, tools, clothing and accessories, etc.--I don't return home until early Sunday evening! Same goes with many of the other 'exhibitors'! From the beginning of October, the busier we all get, in tending to all the final details until the Event. We have an absolutely wonderful time throughout Saturday; we head our different directions on Sunday, taking many deep breaths, congratulating ourselves on a job very well done, and sleep very hard on Sunday night!! Now we tend to the details of the 'after-the-event' party, when we will share food, stories and slide shows! Then, beginning the early part of March, we start all over again!! I'm working on the 'Tent City 2008' gallery. Check out our 1915 Barber!!
LadyKatesPhotography > October 12 "Tile Seawall Art Project" The wall along the beachfront sidewalk in Capitola Village. The tiles were purchased by individuals for $35.00 ea. as a fundraiser for Capitola. The individuals then handpainted their creation of choice; to be applied as the wallfront. GREAT idea!! There is MUCH more tile covered wallspace than shows in this photo. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent checking out this wonderful art project! Make sure to check out a close-up look at some of the tiles in my Contender gallery. City of Capitola **************************************************************************************************************************************** 10/12 "What could be better after a long day in the water than to come ashore and be welcomed back to land by local art glistening in the sun? Where the ocean meets the sand is an innately striking sight just the way it is, but to make things all the more eye-catching, the seawall in Capitola has been lined with a mosaic of brightly colored, handcrafted tiles. The public reception this Sunday celebrates the completion of this latest project from the Capitola Art & Cultural Commission. With 1100 artists contributing symbols that reflect the theme “Capitola Memories: Sand, Sun & Sea,” the community effort is proof that art doesn’t just flourish throughout our county, it lines our shores." Written by Linda Koffman for The Good Times publication
LadyKatesPhotography > October 11 After seeing MyKey's DP for today, I thought it would be cool to share a different perspective of the beautiful Morro Rock, which sits just outside of Morro Bay. It's a wonderful place for us to frequent; cools us down in the summer, and warms us in the winter. This is Odie and his man, Tom! Tom had asked me to get some photos of Odie as he was nearing the end of his time in this world. I will be including this image, with its added treatments to my 'Tribute to Odie' gallery, in the Pets category.
LadyKatesPhotography > October 10 For now, it's back to the storefront window in Capitola Village. I'm sure y'all can relate to the feelings of frustration I experience whenever time constraints limit (or curtail) my 'time with photos'; whether it's actually taking them, or working with them in the computer. Grrrrr! At least my creativity is being expressed in yard projects! Maybe soon, I'll try one of Johnloguks two-photo collages, of before and after!? Blessings to all !

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 !
