Years ago, I was asked why, given my travels, did I not have many pictures, to which I responded that I just was not “into” picture-taking. Somewhere along the way that changed and I now wish I had started taking them sooner. I have no illusions about being particularly good at it, nor do I aspire to be a modern Ansel Adams or make half-time on Super Bowl Sunday. I simply find them fun to take and are even better when shared!
The following represent some personal favorites that I have taken so far…
This one is a sunrise in central Florida. I have not placed these pictures in any particular order, except maybe for the first and the last ones.
This one is of the Florida State Fair in Tampa last year. I snapped most of these simply because l found something interesting about the scene.
I captured this picture at a zoo and what struck me about it was that the two animals really seemed to be visiting with each other!
This picture was taken at the moment that Legoland Florida was officially opened to the public last year and confetti was flying everywhere!
This one captured the final lift-off of the Space Shuttle Challenger (my first shuttle launch), which was the third to the last shuttle lift-off!
This picture was taken late at night by a very tired elf who wanted to add some cheer to the season!
I happened upon this view when in Yellowstone three Winters ago and I had to try to capture it!
This one found me on the same trip while I was leaving the park. He was so close that I could almost reach out and touch him!
I stumbled upon this view (not literally!) while taking the stairs in a hotel in Savannah recently.
I noticed these “Whirligigs” (that is what they are called) while walking the dogs one evening.
One of my kids dragged me outside to see this a couple of weeks ago and I am glad that he did!
I hope you enjoyed the pictures because I certainly had fun taking them! In case you are wondering, I used a Kodak EasyShare camera to take most of them. Also, I have others posted here if you are interested in seeing some more; http://bit.ly/y2SmUW
