Weekly Photo Challenge – Shine
You Are My Sunshine
You are my sunshine
my only sunshine
You make me happy
when skies are grey
You never know,
dear,
how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away.

Daily Prompt – Depth
The Depth of the Ocean
“What are heavy? sea-sand and sorrow.
What are brief? today and tomorrow.
What are frail? spring blossoms and youth.
What are deep? the ocean and truth.”
― Christina Rossetti
Build me up Buttercup
‘Why do you build me up buttercup, baby
Just to let me down and mess me around
And then worst of all you never call, baby
When you say you will but I love you still
I need you more than anyone, darlin’
You know that I have from the start
So build me up Buttercup, don’t break my heart’

Weekly Photo Challenge – Abstract
Weekly Photo Challenge: Abstract
This is a photo taken at the reflection pool beneath the Portal Bridge at Point State Park in Pittsburgh, Pa. The pool is wide with a pedestrian bridge spanning the middle. The water is only a few inches deep and it artfully reflects the city lights and park scenery. http://pghbridges.com/pittsburghW/0584-4477/portal.htm
The building’s eerie reflection, the sharp architectural lines and angles, and the mysterious color pallet all turn something ‘concrete and familiar’ into something beautifully abstract.
Springtime in the Big City
My son attends college in Pittsburgh, Pa. We visited him on Monday and I captured a few shots of the city…just at the sun was setting. Springtime in the city is beautiful!
Color Your World – Navy Blue
I took this shot last weekend at a local state park. I’ve been dabbling in photography for about a year and this might be my favorite photo. 🙂
Autumn Reflections
“A lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Weekly Photo Challenge – 10/10/15 – Happy Place
In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Happy Place.”
One year ago, if someone had asked me to define my ‘happy place,’ I would have struggled to come up with an answer. However, about 9 months ago I purchased my first DSLR camera. Since then, photography has become my go-to stress reliever and ‘happy place.’ It’s what I do to decompress and relax!
My photography subject of choice is ‘nature,’ so I spend plenty of time outdoors. My husband and kids often tag along and we visit the local state parks and nature preserves in our area. I also wander around my back yard, stopping to photograph tiny flowers or insects from every possible angle. (I’m sure the neighbors think I’m crazy.)
Today we drove about two hours to Ohiopyle State Park. It was a perfect fall day in western Pennsylvania. The sun was warm (but not too warm) and the leaves were perfect shades of red, orange, yellow, and brown. We walked the trails and I took over 100 pictures.
Spending time with my family while doing what I love is definitely my ‘happy place.’ What a difference a year makes!
