Wee Little Bird

Lately here in Las Vegas we've had some spectacular clouds (which is very unusual) so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to snap this shot not only of the clouds but of the "wee little bird" perched upon a tiny limb.

I shot this with the camera on my cell phone and edited it in Snapfeed and also PicMonkey.

I do enjoy my early morning walks with my dog at the park.  Everything looks so fresh and new.

Where and when do you find some of your photography inspirations?

Shadow and Light Challenge

Photo Art Friday

I had to dig through my archives to find a photo for this weeks challenge.  I added Bonnie's texture "Age it" on blending mode Hardlight at 87%.

Texture Tuesday ~ Anything Goes eDition

This week over at Kim Klassen's cafe, we're to use any photo of your choice, textured or not textured...easy.  Not so easy to choose just one for me, but I decided to keep it simple and only use two of my favorites (at least at the moment).

I was leaving to take my son to school and opened the garage door and saw this amazing sky.  I ran back into the house grabbed my camera and shot it from my driveway.  The cloud's formation was just so magical, something you'd see in a fairy tale book.   The sun was hitting the clouds making them a golden color and the moon still high in the sky, I couldn't believe how lucky I was to be there at that magical moment.  By the time my son got in the car and we pulled out of the driveway, the clouds had moved and the sun was over the mountains.

This is the park I walk my dog in everyday.  I see these birds (Grackles) all over the park.  I remembered to grab my camera on my way out the door and I was also participating in another challenge and for that day it was "bird".  I like this shot because of the DOF and how proud that bird is on the edge of the garbage can.  He was just sitting there staring at me, almost like he was posing.  After I took the shot he did fly away and I was so hoping it was a good one...I think it is.

God's Canvas

This is what I woke up to yesterday morning.  I just couldn't resist taking a picture.  It's not often enough here (Las Vegas) that we even have clouds in the sky, so one must take advantage in order to preserve the beauty of God's Canvas.
