I took this picture mid summer. I just love those little antlers. It's at the back of our yard.

Here is a picture of a rainbow I caught next to our house. Our house is behind that house about where the rainbow ends.

This was just the other day. It was raining in the front yard, sunny in the back yard and a rainbow in the field. The rainbow is faint it goes across the sky above the trees.

This is a full moon morning shot taken in the front yard.

This little lost community is about 3 hours down a 4wd gravel road. Scared the bejeivies out of us going down a couple of the mountains!




May God richly Bless your day!

Another good thread. calledoutPTL

That's a really cool picture Fred. I wonder why it doesn't flood or fill with water, maybe it does.

Paris, the snake river is about 4 miles down the road and is the drainage!

There were about 6 old buildings there, here is one.

Here is an old water pump, just sitting there in the middle of the community, it must weigh 4 tons!

Fred, your part of the country has some interesting history!! calledoutPTL

Fred I was wondering what that thing was, I saw it in the first picture. I thought it was some sort of  wagon wheel.

That building looks spooky and so does that pump. Why did everyone abandon that place was it because of it being kind of like a drainage ditch.?

But that ditch sure looks pretty with that blue sky over it.

Fred, can you drive along the snake river if going from Washington down to KS somehow? It sure sounds familiar. calledoutPTL

CO, I don't think you can got to Kansas on the Snake river! Here is another shot of an old building

How is this one for a sky? That little river at the bottom is the snake.

Fred, that is an amazing, amazing, picture. Is it even real?

This is a picture of a Sunrise while on an Ocean liner on the Caribbean Sea in April of this year.






This is the same location, it's a full moon evening.



This was the same night on the Cruise Ship. The full moon night.

WOW, you guys put up some absolutly gorgeous photos,like Calledout, I really enjoy this.
Makes me want to get a camera, can you believe I don't own one? No, it has nothing to do
with church rules!

This is the view from inside our cabin looking out. There was a little deck with chairs and a table.




This is just the side of the Ship looking at the lifeboats. I had a lot of pictures of this vacation on my computer, but I lost them a few days ago. The water was an amazing color all the time. When you got close to shore it turned a beautiful Aqua. I think this was the day we left the ship to go ashore to Jamica and the picture was taken as we left the ship.

Quit being so cheap Naz., buy a camera!

Paris, that evening moon sky gave me goose bumps!



May God richly Bless your day!

^Yeah, I like that picture too. What was cool about being on the Ocean was how big God looked. His creation is amazing. I loved looking out and not seeing anything except water, sky, moon or sun.



Here are some pictures from last summer. Spencer and his dad went on a hiking trip in Aspen. I think these are at Independent Pass. Spencer wanted to see a ghost town and Spencer had never seen mountains before last summer either.

One of the reasons that Spencer and his dad went to Aspen is because that is where Spencer's father went when he was about 20 years old. Spencer was always fascinated with that side of his dad. His dad hitch-hiked from Michigan to Aspen. He got a job at the Hotel Jerome in Aspen. He lived as a ski bum, I guess you could say. He worked as a night auditor for the hotel and he also had a breakfast restaurant in the hotel.

Here is a song that Spencer wrote for his dad about his dad doing that when he was younger. I'll include the lyrics too, in case you don't want to listen to the song.






Yeah I am young with the purest of hearts'
but havent really gotten a chance to start living

And I have gotten so sick of it
so sick of ignorance

And I know I'll be missed so
I'll come back home when I've found my way

And I've been lame cuz I've played all the games
but now I have a chance to get away

And I look out into the blankest sky
and I sit back and wonder why the stars don't shine

And I know I'll be missed so
I'll come back home when I've found my find my way

And I know I'll be missed so
I'll come back home when I've found my found my way

And I know I'll be missed so
I'll come back home when I've found my found my way

And I know I'll be missed so
I'll come back home when I've found my found my way

Paris, We lost you, did your camera break? C'mon lady, more pics.

You are a living wonder with your camera...
and an inspiration...

Some time I am going to learn to use a digital camera. All I need is a few lessons...

I loooooooooooooooooove photography too and would carry a camera with me to not miss anything interesting, funny, mystical and to capture the foibles of human nature.

Thank you again for sharing your inspiring photos and talent! BTW do you live in Co?

Oxy

Thanks Oxy, you don't really need lessons with the new cameras now days. They have features on them that are automatic, if you set the camera on automatic it will flash if it needs to on it's own and not flash if it doesn't need to. They also have what's called "steady shot" but I must be the nervous type because that feature doesn't always work for me.

I recommend the camera with the screen on the back so you can see what you are taking a picture of without putting your eye up to it. Your camera will come with a CD that you put in your computer that will download the program to accept your pictures onto your computer. Some computers already have a program that will upload pictures onto the computer from any digital camera, but I always install the program from the CD that came with the camera because it will probably work the best as far as editing your photos.

There are a few settings that I tend to have trouble with, sometimes my camera is set to have the focus on close up when what I want to capture is in the distance and vice verse. When I have that setting messed up then sometimes what I was trying to capture on film is blurry. So I'm not always very good with the camera. I miss a lot of shots because of that one setting. Still when you can view them on your computer before you get them developed you can save a lot of money. Anyway here is a picture of my camera.

And I really enjoy the animated pictures you post, thank you keep doing that...No I don't live in CO.





^ that screen is what you use to see what you are taking a picture of, very handy.

I went whitewater rafting in Scotts backyard last summer. I am in the front left seat. Great times

Awesome photos, Dale.

Sirius, don't faint, I agree with your post. LOL Looks like fun, Dale. calledoutPTL

Yep, that looks fun Dale, for you!. That rock wall looks mighty close.

Paris...

for making the photo taking much more simple that I had thought.





I will copy and save the camera pic if I can.
Oxy

^ lol, that's pretty good Oxy, good graphics with the head turning red.
