REFLECTIONS FROM THE PAST

More photo fun from the car show.  Thank you everyone for your comments yesterday on the goldfinches.  Sometimes it's amazing what you find on your memory card when you look at it on the computer.

FALL MOSAIC


THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR GOOD WISHES AND OVER-WHELMING RESPONSE TO THE DEER PHOTO!  I am so flattered and touched at the wonderful comments you left me.  It continues to speak volumes about this community and the caring and support that comes from the people that contribute their art daily.  It's more than sharing photos, people genuinely care...  Many many thanks for taking the time to send me a message!!
 
This image is enhanced to bring out detail...I thought it would make a great puzzle. It was taken just before the rain started, near dark @ 4:30 PM.  Amazing what filters can do!!
Have a good day!

RED SHOULDERED HAWK

This is truly a daily shot...taken just a little while ago! Poor guy looks pretty cold and hungry...BUT NOT IN MY YARD, PLEASE!  I used the Topaz Adjust again, because I like the watercolor effect it creates.  (It makes me the "George" of nature photography, maybe?...lol)  But I do like experimenting with filters a lot.  
I made the mistake of underexposing the image...hence to my huge disappointment the image is awfully grainy.  But when the bird is there, I just do the best I can...right?  

Here's the original...not too bad...any suggestions??    Seriously, critique away...I need to learn!  :-)   http://mom4squirrels.smugmug.com/gallery/2398293_NM4ud#452315912_PD33D

ICE POPSICLES

These icy globs were created by the cold and wind and the lake spray along the Lake Erie's coast.  As the water would splash over the huge boulders holding the shore in place, some would splash over and into the grass and create all kinds of frozen wonders.

WISTFUL

This is a Pine Siskin from the other morning.  He was eating the seeds I put out for all the cold feathered friends that came to get some much needed food.  He looked rather sad to me as he stared out into the yard, perhaps wondering if Spring will EVER arrive.

SUNRISE OVER PARADISE

Taken at 6:47 Am, I finally got the knack of getting up early enough to run out on deck for sunrise (not easy when you have an inside cabin and have no reference for day or night :-)).  This is the view from the bow of our ship as we were docking in Nassau.  In front of you is the bridge over to the famous Paradise Island and the Atlantis Hotel and gambling casino.  I believe the Atlantis is the first building on the left, just over the bridge.  Taken with the polarizing filter on my wide angle lens, I captured this gorgeous sunrise in tropical (but cool) Nassau.

 BLUE  JAY

(I'm so proud of this shot..and two dove shots that I took...they're nice and sharp...AND HAND HELD.  Good Sharpness eludes me on most shots, so I am bragging to my friends here on POD to say..I DID IT..at last  ...lol)

MOURNING DOVE

MIST IN THE MOAT

The mist was rising off the waters around the moat that surrounds a private estate in Hunting Valley. The homes within the walls are now a historical landmark. I wish you could see the water droplets on the branches in front of the bridge, but they do not show on DP, only in a full sized version of this photo.
