This week Ann-Christine challenged us to show pictures of some interesting windows we have seen. She suggested we look for “what/who is standing or sitting by or at the window …. find an interesting something standing or hanging in the window…or perhaps seen through the window!” Below is an eclectic collection of recent window photos I encountered. Each window image has it’s own unique personality plus a story to tell!! “Your desire to be near a window is your desire to be close to life!” ∼ Mehmet Murat ildan Colorful art surrounds the window and doorway at this house in Montreal, Canada. Topaz software created the smooth, glassy look. …
LOOKING UP: Lens-Artists Photo Challenge

She earned the nickname…

All of us are baseball fans so seeing the ball field as the Toronto Blue Jays played the Cleveland Indians was…

When thinking of images to best illustrate my interpretation of everyday moments these came to mind, demonstrating everyday moments birds and people enjoy. “Every moment in our lives is a miracle we should enjoy instead of ignoring.” ∼ Yoko Ono This pair of Roseate Spoonbills are enjoying an everyday moment plus their time together while bathing and grooming their feathers. Since this was taken mid-day they will probably rest soon before catching more shrimp and aquatic insects in the shallow water. It’s a real treat to see these beautiful birds in southern Florida, this image was taken in Bonita…
