Take Time Thursday – Past Week in Photo’s January 2018

Hope you all had a GREAT Holiday and like me TRYING to make life normal or something close. 2018 will bring me lots of new, as turning sixty, celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary and doing a bit of traveling. This photo is from our visit to the Dallas Arboretum it’s the time of the year when there is not much in bloom, but the color and shadows were wonderful. We walked for hours and around every corner things seemed new and different. It’s the welcoming of 2018.

Take Time Thursday – Past Week in Photo’s

My Past Weeks Photo’s by Beth Ann. I have been wanting to do this for a bit and with things a bit calmer, I am going to try. What it really does is get me OUT and taking pictures.

We live in a fantasy area here in Sarasota, Florida, so many things to see and do. We always make it to the Ringling before most holiday’s. I call it a “vacation day”. I took 417 pictures on this day. I found I was a bit involved with the lighting??? I try very hard to just take pictures, not over think anything like portions of thirds, colors, just shoot what my eyes see at the time.

I have always loved old thing and this is one of my favorite houses to visit. I hope that some day they will open it up to special tours and let me take my camera behind the red ropes….BUT until that time, I just keep taking pictures.

It’s Been A Bit

It has been a VERY long bit. I am trying to be back, my Mom is in her ninth week of rehab. and I’m just about….done. I will share more when it’s possible and when I have the were about me to do it.

Husband said last Friday night, “Grab your camera and let’s go see the Clydesdales” We drove down, pulled in, parked in the first row, walked around the corner AND

These Pictures Didn’t Make the Cut

I love taking pictures. I have taken classes, shot thousands of pictures, joined a group and just jumped in with two feet. I tried a couple competitions, but my skin wasn’t too thick. I took a year off and today I sent in digital prints, these photo’s here were close but didn’t make the cut…..I have no idea why, I think it’s at the moment kind of thing, but I really like these too.

How you doing….LUNCH, Photo by Beth Ann Strub

Happy Father’s Day

To all the Father’s, I hope you have a wonderful Day. I know Husband here is HAVING a GREAT time.

Can you see the Horse here in a wave? From our trip to the ocean the other day. I only have to be asked once to go sit in the sand and just watch nature. The wind and wave made for some great spray. I just waited and this was one of MANY shots.
