WP Photo Challenge: Now

The time is now.

I am guilty.  Holidays make me nostalgic.  I start dwelling on the people and traditions that are no longer in my life.  I get sad, I get depressed. “Oh, woe is me.” 

Remind me of the now and the great life I am living.  Here are some images that I captured today.  The past was wonderful; and, the present is pretty great too.

It has been a foggy Christmas week.  Isn’t the lighthouse pretty in the purple mist?

Nature decorating the spruce and red berries against a green leafy background.

I hope your holidays are happy and bring you everything that you desire.

DP Photo Challenge: Gathering

DP Photo Challenge: Gathering

The pelicans enjoy gathering at the Polk Street Beach.  The sand is warm, the area is fairly quiet and the surf is invigorating.  Plus there is always a bite to eat and a friend to share the latest tidbit of bird gossip.

DP Weekly Photo Challenge: Oops

DP Photo Challenge: Oops

When you try to take pictures of birds and wildlife, you get many, many oops(es).  Here is my all time favorite entitled “Sh*t Happens”.  It was taken awhile back, but really fits this challenge.  Other than the pooh, I thought it was a pretty cool photo.

I was out this afternoon catching sea gulls in flight.  Here is a great shot of one bird flying….unfortunately it was completely out of range of my camera…oops.

Digital Photography gotta love it….those oops(es) aren’t developed, just deleted.

 

DP Photo Challenge: Eye Spy

DP Photo Challenge: Eye Spy

I Spy with my Eagle Eye.  This majestic fellow visited the neighborhood yesterday.  I was so excited to capture him.

Here is a Hawk’s Eye from my archives.

I thought both photos met this weeks challenge. I hope you enjoy.
