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

    May 22 This is a follow-up to my DP for yesterday. There were quite a few comments asking what kind of flower that was. I took photos of it because of my fascination with it's unique qualities and beauty, not having a clue what it was! So, I asked my sister and she had the answer for you!! Yes! Karinaboese......I'm impressed; you are right! Even more specifically: The Pincushion Protea- Leucospermum cordifolium. These plants are part of the Cape Floral Kingdom known in South Africa as "Fynbos." Over 7,700 plant species are found in the Fynbos family. Fynbos is an Afrikaans word meaning "fine bush" and consists mainly of members of the Protea and Erica families. "Rebeccahelm" might probably recognize these?!?! Here is an informative site with a good Protea photo gallery As my sister was telling me of their origin, I remembered that I have other photos of S. African flowers! I met a woman at a Poultry Show that raises both exotic poultry and South African Plants. She had arranged with the hosting Poultry Club to bring flowers to decorate the Showroom. I enjoyed photographing the gorgeous flowers as much as the beautiful poultry! She is from the Monterey area; her site has information and photos of their 'Farm' and the many varieties of flowers which are grown there:Fynbos Farm This is one of the shots which I took at the Monterey Poultry Show. There are seven different kinds of flowers in this arrangement. I added a new flower gallery: Exotic South African flora
    May 21 Once again, I refrained from taking the camera with me to 'the part-time job'! My sister brought over a few shade-loving, flowering plants for the back yard make-over; seems very fitting to post another flower from her own yard. Thanks for your help, Sis!!
    May 20 I have come to the conclusion that it IS NOT a good idea for me to take my camera along to the 'Rennovation Project'! We're in the very last stages before completion; it is way too easy for me to get side-tracked when I know that the camera is in the car! I was a good girl; I didn't take it today! This last Sunday, we had dinner at our daughter's home. Of course, we took Roxy with us! As soon as she gets out of the car, she's on a mission to go find Colby! Then, they're both happy and content, which is sooo heartwarming and endearing!!
