Capturing Movement - Love to watch the birds enjoying the bird bath...and the way the droplets of water look like little stars, I think it is the "shoot thru the screen porch effect"...
Texture - There is nothing grander than the textures of nature....
Face your fears....I guess the growing old thing is probably my greatest fear, especially as I do grow older. I don't think it is so much the growing older, it's what can happen along the way. I want to be one of those old ladies that is still mowing her own grass at 85. Here I am, with
Currently - doing battle with the flies on the back porch - see here
And something more pleasant....watching the birds feed
Linking all this to Ashley's Scavenger Hunt Sunday. Have a great holiday weekend and God Bless America!!
Until next time.....
The stars you caught while that bird was taking a bath are awesome! I think you just invented a new lens filter-screen! Quick! Get a patent on that one!
ReplyDeletexo,

Great set. Really loving the bird bathing! Textures is so rich.
ReplyDeleteThe bird bath is pretty awesome! I want to be one of those ladies as well when I'm 85. x
ReplyDeleteThese are all great - I especially like the shot of you. Seems the older we get, the faster it goes - very frightening.
ReplyDeleteIt's a real pleasure to visit your blog. You always have wonderful shots.
ReplyDeleteToby is so sweet loooking, I bet you are happy to have him under foot.
My favorites this week,
Capturing Movement - Wow that star effect through the screen is wonderful.
and Texture, Yes nature has some wonderful textures. Enjoy your weekend.
Love your "shot through porch screen" effect! I figure you're only as old as you feel. :-) Love the self portrait.
ReplyDeleteWell, Deanna, you may feel like you were scrambling but your set presents as well-thought out and beautifully executed. Love the birdie shots and great close-up on the fly.
ReplyDeleteWOW, Deanna!! You may have scrambled to get these images but they are wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE beneath your feet. The bird bath is great - I wish I had one but I would possibly waste all day as I love bird photography.
Your selfie is great! I hate selfies... I prefer to be behind the camera :) I figure you don't feel your age so you are off to a good start as it's all about attitude. My parents are 83 & 78, still working as doctors, travelling all over the place and doing things most their age wouldn't do. I hope to be at like that at their age.
Oh, and I forgot to say your texture is beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteDeanna, you are gorgeous...smile lines and all. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat set! Loved your movement shot, and Toby is so cute! And I loved your selfie...a lot!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Love the bird bath shot! You look great and experience is a beautiful thing.
ReplyDeleteYou always capture just the right shot for the word! And I'm w/you about aging! I don't have many smile lines but it's because I have lots of natural collagen! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYour texture photo is amazing. Really like your photos!
ReplyDeleteI like all your interpretations of the challenges. Toby beneath your feet is a good one. Great texture too! You are very brave to post your photo of yourself sans makeup. I was in a dept. store dressing room yesterday and oh my goodness, it was impossible to miss the aging process. Still I'm happy to have this body with all its natural flaws. It serves me well and I hopeit continues to do so for quite a few more years.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots - I hear you on growing old...I try to avoid looking at the person in the mirror who is supposed to be me, but I truly believe wrinkles add such beautiful character to a face!
ReplyDeleteAwww, your littleToby is so cute!! I love the one of your eye; so honest, pure, and a beautiful color. I wear my wrinkles proudly! I actually like getting older, but like you, I want to be able to stay active into my 80s, hopefully beyond if I live that long. I watched my mother suffer with Parkinson's and that is no way to end your days. Anyway, great scavenger hunt!
ReplyDeleteGreat set, Deanna!! I love your texure shot! The light is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteGreat get Deanna. You put together a great series of pics. The bird picture is so cool and good luck with the flies!
ReplyDeleteThese are really fantastic - I'm not sure I can choose a favorite. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteCiao Deanna, happy Monday. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots, as always. Love the lighting in the texture picture.
I am dealing with the same fly problem! I just hate them.
ReplyDeleteWould love for you to come and participate in Observing Beauty, a weekly photo challenge. This weeks challenge is Water. Linky closes on Friday.

I think you did just fine, even if you were in a rush! Toby is so cute and we all are getting older, whether we like it or not. Plus, it sure beats the alternative. :)
ReplyDeleteYour shots are amazing, as usual! Love love love the bird bath, and the picture of you too. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of your capturing movement. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteNice photos ! I love the birds stories :)
