2. 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

    July 8 (2008) One of my highlights for the last eight years is a camping trip with a group of Lady friends! And next week is the beginning of our week-long adventure in the mountains! Yay!!!! We have three major rules: "NO MEN, NO KIDS, NO WHINING!!!" The slogan for this year: "Freeeeee, at last!!" Last year's sogan: "...Because we can!!" We often refer to this trip as a week long therapy session!! We laugh a lot!!!! Laughter IS some of the best medicine!! A couple of months ago, we lost a member of our 'Tribe' (as some Daily members will remember from a couple of my DP's..... here.......and here) due to cancer :( While experiencing our upcoming time together, we all will be tremendously missing our dear Sue; aka "Pedicure Patti":( Two years ago, she arrived at the campground wearing this particular shirt!! This year, we will be flying this shirt as a memorial flag....in the center of the campsite!! BTW: I'm the second one in from the left!! I love to water-ski!! BTW#2: MyKey is also a member of our Tribe!!
    July 6 It's still 4th of July weekend!! My husband and I enjoyed a very peaceful and quiet 4th by staying home! I was watching the dusk light as it played across the flags which our neighbors had put on their front fence. (Thanks, chuck and Lisa!) This is Coconut, one of their three Great Pyranees!! I was coaxing her into standing right by the bunting. She is so gorgeous--look at those eyes!! She's also a real sweetie! I am so grateful that we're able to celebrate the Independence of our great country! Hopefully our independence causes all Americans some happiness!
    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
