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

 My attempts at getting a good shot of a Hummingbird haven't proved sharp enough....yet! 
I've also found that I begin to run out of patience waiting for them to come back!!
 So, I decided a little PS practice would be fun!

I included another shot, and PS practice, in my Contender Gallery
    June 24 

 It's been a very busy week; I haven't posted a DP for a couple of days, nor have I been able to look through any of your wonderful photos, or share comments with y'all. Soon!!
 This photo came from a shoot I did on June 14. Previously, I have posted DP's on April 3 and May 23 which were practice runs for this one....then, I used "Fannie Flamingo" as my model!!  I didn't figure I'd have as long to work with Colby!  However, he came through with flying 'bandanas'!!

I wanted to do this after dark, which was getting late for a three yr. old, but he revived when 
our daughter told him "Come on, Honey....we're going to go play dress-up with Gramma!!"

On the way to the location, we centered the entire conversation towards him, to keep him awake, telling him we were taking him to a 'cowboy place'.  We had brought his guitar, and told him he was going to get to be a country western singer!  He was really liking this idea!!

While I was setting up, Samantha was helping him get into his 'cowboy' clothes.  We hadn't thought to try on the boots before.....they didn't fit!!  I took some shots with him barefoot, but when his feet started getting cold we had to put the socks back on!

The resturant was closed, and it's quite far from anything, so we told him he could sing his heart out!!  Sing as loud as you want to Colby!  Our mistake was that we had not taken another person with a video camera!  It was one of the funniest things I seen in a long time!  He put on quite a show!  He was making up words to a song (we both really wish we remembered what the words were---it was funnnnny!  Half-way through the shoot--rather, 'His Show'--he informed us that he was a country western Ozzy Osborne!!!!

On the way home, while we were still complimenting him on what a great show he did for us, he told us "Well, you're welcome!  My pleasure!"  Then added, "You know, I am a country western rock-n-roll star!!"
We're considering trying the entire thing again so that we could get it all on video!!!
It would be a YouTube smash!!
And, of course, Roxy loved the whole evening.  She had her 'boy' singing to her!

My sister stayed with us last night, trying to get out of the heat of Shell Beach (California).   
We bribed her saying that if she came for a visit, we would turn the air-conditioner on, 
seeing as she has no AC--there's no need for it at the coast--until these last several days!  

This morning she and I took our coffee outside and played with her dog, Toby, and the remote control 4wheeler!!  
It's funny, funny entertainment! Toby chases it; it chases her and she barks a lot! (We think she loves it!?) 

At @ 3:00, we heard that it was cooling down at the coast and seeing as it was @110 in our neck of the woods, we spent the rest of the day in Shell Beach relishing the 85 degrees.

Was a fun day, Gaysie Mae!!
