Sorry to hear about your internet connection.

I understand you, Carin! A day I change the provider, just to eliminate many problems.

I love the reflection in the shot of the water lilly, Isabelle. Great colour and close crop on it!

And Lovely, your shot of the old house with the tree is my favourite so far. The choice of B&W make the subject of isolation just pop. Beautiful capture.

Great uploads by everyone! Cool ideas :-)

Just a few minutes ago I could capture this little green plant that must have started growing about two weeks ago in this burned garbage can.

Mondays comes the garbage collection company at my area and I asked myself whether the company will take the can completely with them about 14 days ago.

So you see they didn't take it and now new life is growing there.

Nice, isn't it?

;-)

More outstanding work uploaded. Congratulations everyone with all their amazing photographs.

Lashia ( ) posted Wed, 25 May 2011 at 11:54 AM

@Bernie- Great eye, I couldn't see it until you pointed it out (I was more surprised by the shape of that poor garbage can! haha) I love seeing nature thrive in places we wouldn't expect. Great shot :-)

@Tabby- I love this sunset! Very serene. The clouds look like waves coming over the ocean. Awesome!

@Clive- What a great action shot! Looks like this little guy is running with a purpose :-)

@Jordie- Awesome capture of this bird. With my camera I cant seem to ever zoom enough to get worth-while-shots of birds. Glad to see it works so well for you :-)

Great uploads everyone! Keep 'em coming, month is coming to an end :-) I have to take one more for this, too!

Strange... it seems that solitude is the one thing that I constantly seek, yet always alludes me. One would guess that if solitude was my goal that my photography would reflect that. I had to think pretty hard on the idea before I chose these three images. I hope they work for you. Thanks for getting me to think about this topic again!

Third one, you probably can't even see my husband in this let alone the dog. She's a very small dog. ;-)

Thank you.

As I mentioned, I'm getting used to Win 7, it aint easy when you're my age. (or any age it seems) ;-) Also getting ready for our season of shows and exhibitions here in Cairns Aus.

I'm involved on several levels in several groups...that aint easy either. Hey, but it keeps the little grey cells working. ;-)

Here is my last upload for this months challenge (just in time!) My mother bought me this amazing statue today for our wedding next July, and I'm in love with it. Hope you like my posts, and awesome job to everyone who's submitted this month!

@Clive- Great bird shot! Chikadee's are my most favourite bird to watch AND to see in photographs, they're so playful and so fluffy, cant help but smile :-)

@Fred- Your first shot is amazing, I love the womans pose and position in the shot, and your long crop really fits the image perfectly. Your second shot is also amazing, I wonder what iso you shot this at. Great 3 choices!

@Leonie- Your first shot reminds me of the other day there was a girl playing on a cement wall behind my house and I tried to get a shot of her through my window but she was so fast! I love candid shots like this (and your second shot). For your last shot I can see your husband, but unfortunetly not your little little dog haha

Great shots to everyone! I hope everyone gets all three images in before the end of this month :-)

bernieloehn ( ) posted Fri, 27 May 2011 at 11:50 PM

LOL! I just realized that I have one entry left.

So I will use it for this little guy! ;-)

He sits on a really laaaarge fig leaf.

Hello everyone! :) I'm back! XD Interesting subject, I really had to plough through all my photo's. Although I can never top some (think Canoeing (looooooved this one), the one from hiperia3d, the second one from fredpotter and the bench at the water from Meisiekind) these are mine :).

(Hint: look for the black-tailed prairie dog)
