Things to see

I recently bought a new camera, which tempts me to take more time to see more of the things around me, then try to capture them. Feel free to click on the images for better views.  Here’s a sampling–first, a tale of two birds:  This turkey at the local Farmer’s market is deemed to be food, whereas the peacock at the zoo is deemed to be art.Peacock

Tonight, my family and I walked through Forest Park, where we were treated to a strikingly pink sky (none of these photos in this post have been retouched except  for cropping):

Refusing to stand idly by, my 12-year old daughter, JuJu, borrowed her mother’s iPhone and took some photos, including this yellow flower:

    I really really like the photograph of the reflection from a pond. I think I'll do a painting using it as inspiration. The volumes, the colors, the use of space: remarkable!

      Rejean: Thanks for your comment – My daughter will be delighted when she reads your comment. Feel free (but don't feel obligated) to share an image of your painting once it is finished.

    Edgar: Those are fantastic images. Thanks for sharing. The phrase "self-organizing" comes to my mind as I view many of them. It's amazing how randomness can take such interesting shapes.
