Day 266: Longhorn beetle

I know that today's theme was Fog, but I didn't experience any fog, except when my lens fogged up due to the humidity while trying to take this picture.  UGH!  And a quick shout out to my dad, who noticed the bug.

Day 265: Broken Glass

I was in a greenhouse and found several broken panels of glass.  There could so be a series in this.

Day 264: Lush Staircase

I can't resist a good staircase.

Day 263: The Crow

What is a week at the parent's house without some yard art.

Day 262: Taking a break

There could be no other reason for a bee to be sitting on an evergreen with absolutely no flowering anything except to take a break or escape from a very annoying co-worker (do I know that one) but either way its a break.

Day 261: From the side

I was completely mesmerized by the way the petals of this zinnia looked from the side.  Although the most beautiful pink color it was so much more striking with a beautiful Green Portrait filter on LR.

Day 260: Bumble Bee

They boys and I went to the Dallas Arboretum today.  I was amazed at the amount of pollen this bee was carrying around and even more amazed that it allowed me to get so close.

Even more amazing:  My 7 year photos.  Check them out.

Day 259: Light Fixture

I guess this qualifies for heat/energy in today's Theme Thursday.  I found this light fixture in the Texas heat and I loved it.  There's a matching one down the way too, but the single fixture did it for me.

Day 258: Waterfall

Day 257: Looking Up

What a clear reflection and how I managed to get two light flares surprises even me.  Lucky shot I guess.

Day 256: Cowboys' Stadium

Went lots of places today.  I think my husband's favorite was Cowboys' Stadium.  He especially wanted to see the big doors by the end-zones.  Yes, those big things slide open.  How cool is that?

I liked it better in B&W, but my husband preferred color.  What do you think?

Side view:  I loved the way it reflected everything.

Day 255: Full Spread.

I had a great day today. Lots of stuff accomplished.  The kids went to the movies with their aunt and I went for a walk while everyone was occupied.  He thought he was stalking me though the cattails, but it was actually me that was stalking.  Unfortunately, the light was not in my favor and I didn't get the definition I would have liked, but I don't usually get such a clear shot.

Happy 4th!

Day 254: Foot Bridge

Today was challenging. Besides having to work it rained all day long.  And I do mean all day long I took this in a sprinkle - not good light, but with the pavement wet and switching to B&W it looks much better than color.

Day 253: In the middle of the creek

Yes, I literally was in the middle of this creek.  While I would love for all of you to think I suffered for my craft laying down to get this shot, I used my 12 inch gorilla pod and got an awesome perspective.  I'm not sure if this is my favorite of the day, as I tried the daily shoot today.  I think this fits the bill.

Day 252: Veins

I was walking down the street and I noticed some of the veins on the leaves of this oak were so pronounced I had to go grab my camera.  I hope you didn't expect blood....
