1. Daily Photos

My Task At Hand

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! © Copyright 2009 Lady Kates Photography

 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!!
