Weekly Photo Challenge: Good Morning! (Although it is no longer Morning here.)

Gratitude, photography • Tags: , , ,

This week Michelle asks that we share a photo that says “Good Morning!” Luckily I have a few that I hope you’ll enjoy.

Photographed on an early morning walk.
Taken a couple of minutes later.
Morning two days later.
Hurricane Flossie was approaching.

I’m grateful that we did not get those strong winds.

Weekly Photo Challenge: From Lines to Patterns 5

Gratitude, photography • Tags: , ,

Cheri Lucas Rowlands asks us to notice lines and patterns in the world around us, in nature and things man-made and then to share a photo or a gallery of shapes, lines, textures, or patterns. Be sure to click on the link to see what others are posting.

You can also go to this week’s Photography 101: Shape, Line, Texture, and Pattern for helpful advice from Evan Zelermyer if you need more inspiration. You might want to click on the link either way to see his photos.

This week I’m grateful for the challenge, for nature, and for the chance to see all of the inspiring photos I’m sure others are sharing.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside 2

This morning was rainy on Oahu so that ruled out several options for photography, but I think I still managed to capture the theme thanks to being able to intermittently find shelter in the dugout.

Look whose in the batting cage.

While I was thinking positive this guy thankfully stayed in the rain for me to photograph him.

While I was thinking positive this Kolea thankfully stayed in the rain, inside the baseball diamond for me to photograph him.

Then the rain letup so I could take the picture I wanted.

Today I’m grateful for dugouts, for the Kolea who stayed in the rain, and that positive thinking works. What are you grateful for today?
