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!

"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!

 We're back to my daily study on the stalk of Gladiola! This is the fifth day since the first bud opened, at the bottom. 
This photo was taken 21 hours after the Day 4 shot. Presently, the first three blossoms have already withered.  
I am causing the photo for each day to be different in some way.
There are two more Day 5 shots in:my Contender gallery

CuriousCamel:  this one is for you !!

While visiting Aruba, a couple of years ago, I spent some wonderfully peaceful time at 'The Butterfly Farm'.  There were many different varieties; each with their own delicate and colorful beauty!
I was there in December; apparently Christmas is 'the season' for the Aruban butterflies!!!
As Dreamhat so eloquently stated:  "the Dance of Life"!
***********************************************************************************************
I included 'Day 4/Gladiola' in my Contender gallery

Day 3 - The Glad Hummer

I need to use a quote from Shelly, which  she offered to dedman yesterday:
"Sometimes God sends us little gifts like this, and it creates such joy you just HAVE to share it!!"
**********************************************************************************
As a practice session for camera settings, I decided to continue on with my study in the life of a Gladiola stalk.
(LOL!! Kre8ive: now I can't make that reference without thinking about and envisioning your comment from yesterday: 
 "this gorgeous flower stalking a bunny that had tried to eat it at some point!" !!!).
This session was 21 hours after the shot from yesterday, and was being dedicated to bilroy! 
 I liked the idea of causing an 'other than black' BG.  I was about to call it quits (it was a little hot out there!), 
when this wonderful hummingbird arrived to show me how much they like Gladiolas!!  (Thank you, Mom!  I love you!)
******************************************************************************

BTW: Thanks, bilroy!  I included two more shots for you in my Contender gallery.

And Thank you all very much for the wonderful and generous comments and encouragement!!  This 'community' is just really outstanding!!

Day 2-Same Gladiola stalk as yesterday's DP, 21 hours later.  This is SOOC, in late afternoon sunlight.  The shot from yesterday was taken after dark, with flash.

Day 1-I rescued these gladiola bulbs when I dug up the back yard at the Renovation Project. These first two buds opened today! A very pretty surprise; I had no idea what color they were going to be! The petals are beautifully variegated.

Hey, Irish!!!  Here's one for you!
A quick shot I got one afternoon of MyKey in her front yard!!
LOL!!! I just checked the photo info to write in what date this was taken:
one year ago today!!! Huummm!?

Spent photo time today uploading into a new gallery.  Johnloguk:  maybe this will relieve some of your disappointment!! 
Closest thing I could get to poultry!! Big Sur Coastline

Went for an afternoon walk on Wednesday while on R&R !  Greg chose to stay at the campground and read, so I took the tripod as a companion!  This is a favorite area for me and my kids!   We've loved camping at Plaskett Creek (across the highway from this area), and spending time down on this beach. There is a trail, and steep stairs on the right side of those bluffs.
But we'd make a beeline for the far north (left) end of the beach; there are several caves to play in and explore!  Well....when the tide is low enough!  Some great trails, with incredible views on the other side, up into the hills!

Was thinking of this community  when I was taking this and several other SP's!  Hillary:  I had to squat down, otherwise the wind would have blown me off that edge!!!  Figured if the wind blew over the tripod, the camera would have landed fairly softly in that shrub.

BTW:  I finally made the decision and took the time to enter the 'Artists Wanted' competition.  Would be great if you could check it out and offer some votes, if you like the entries!

P.S. Some little glitches in the Sponsor's entry forms, but I am not waiting until they fix the problems in my 'Bio'.  When you click on the 'view the portfolio at:' you'll notice some extra rn's (?!?!) which look to be associated with some punctuation.  With that in mind, I'm sure you'll figure out that which I wrote!  I do hope you enjoy "My Other Worlds"!!

Back from the R & R along the Big Sur coastline! The time away did serve as a recharging of the batteries!
 I have managed to download the photos into the computer and only gotten as far as taking these three horizontal shots and created the panorama. Hopefully I can begin a new gallery of this trip tomorrow. And look through some of your DP's from the last couple of days.  
This is Willow Creek Beach.  Stunning place to 'Just Go Be'!  Has some gorgeous rocks, too!!

"I can see you!"

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!
