It took me awhile to catch this butterfly in focus with such a narrow depth of field against the backdrop of Magic Sands Beach on the island of Hawaii. Magic Sands is an interesting beach because the sand disappears from it in the winter and returns to it later in the spring.
This photo was posted on 1x.com, a great photography website, here. Photos are screened and only posted if they pass screening. I haven’t been able to get another one posted yet. It’s probably about time I tried again.
I took this picture looking straight up as a Westjet (way to go) 737 flew over the orchard near our house. I like the orientation this way because it makes it look like the aircraft is diving towards the ground and makes you take a second look at it. I also love the contrast of the clouds against the sky.
I love this shot of my Grandma’s old Henry Singer sewing machine. The intricate detail on the metal parts would never be found today on a machine for the home. Can you imagine your lawn mower with shiny silver etching or gold colored embossing on your toaster oven these days. There was something artistic about the way things were made in the past.
By the way, does anyone know where you can buy a new belt for a machine like this? Mine has turned brittle.
This shot was taken in British Columbia’s Cathedral Provincial Park in July. These goats were just two of herd of about ten. They were eating the snow to get water.
I like the lighting of this shot. The sun was streaming through a hole in the clouds which was shining only onto the patch of snow resulting in the high contrast between the rocky background and the snow.
Pretty spooky eh? This shot was taken lying on my back under an apple tree in the winter once the leaves had fallen. brrrr. It makes me cold just thinking about it.
I like the sky in the background.
