Can you guess?



Didn't have a chance to take any new photos for today. These are from a few weeks ago when our photography class assignment was to take photos in our own backyard. This is a household item that most of us have. Can you guess what it is?

Another Favorite Color





I was putting out a few Easter decorations yesterday and came across these speckled eggs. These are some of my favorite colors (besides red). The green color in the first image is my favorite color to wear and I love the calming "Robin's egg blue". I have enjoyed the *favorite color* challenge this week, both taking the photos and seeing everyone's posts. Lots of great images! Thank you all for sharing and commenting.

Lucky Shamrock Plant


Happy St. Patrick's Day! It is said that St. Patrick, the saint who brought Christianity to Ireland, used the shamrock to illustrate the doctrine of the Holy Trinity to his congregation. Each leaf symbolizes the father, the son, and the Holy Spirit.

Another one from the garden center...


Not in perfect focus but I love the color of this orchid and the natural white outline around the edge of the flower.

Red Flowers



I went to the garden center on my lunch hour today. The lighting in the greenhouse is great. I may have to go back again for more practice. I could have spent the entire afternoon there!

Red Motorcycle


My younger son (18) has always been adventurous. He has wanted a motorcycle for a long time and has worked hard to save enough money to get this. He has had lots of experience riding go carts, dirt bikes and smaller motorcycles since he was very young and has taken a rider's safety course. Still makes me a little nervous sometimes!

Running Shoes


My older son was a track and cross country runner in high school. These are the spikes he wore during his last season of running - very colorful! I miss going to the meets and seeing all the other kids and parents. He is a junior in college now, this is one of his textbooks. How does the focus look on this? Taken in AV mode, WB shade, f5.6 SS 1/60 90mm focal length.
