i managed to lock both sets of truck keys in the truck ...but thank goodness we had roadside service and could get it unlocked ..I feel so stupid .....up side to all is that it was a good day today ......

Good Morning World

Today is so smoky here ..the air could be cut with a knife ....I wish I was on the highway where this shot was taken ..even though the road is always dusty... the stream is always fresh and nice to sit beside ......I love the black and white effect on nature it always makes me have to decide the colors of nature

************************************************************
************************************************************
First photo of water drop was when I was
Just waiting for new lens and playing with setting on new camera .....this was my first try at getting a real refraction in a water drop ...went into green house with camera and spray bottle of water to get this shot ...this was the only shot as a bee and i decided the need to part company ,,,,,,,bee won greenhouse I left ,,,, have ideas now and will be playing later in day from now on....
The second photo was...macro of vine tendril... Amazing things a foot in a greenhouse ..these little guys are so amazing to me ...they seek and latch on and pull the heavy plants skyward ...and they are so tender and soft ..but i am really glad they aren't bigger they could be a force to be wary of....

Moose in Backyard

The moose always visit here In North Pole Alaska ..Our back yard is a great place to shoot photos for ma any way..This last spring I shot the following..if you would like to see more visit my Flicker

Been Away

I started this to help draw attention to my Flickr account ..Hoping to gather more views and maybe stand a chance in EXPLORE. Although I have 51 explore photos ..I am greedy and want more ...
My Photo Stream is well over 1000 and there are many growth between the picture upload and now
Hard to understand why I am greedy about Explore .I know there is nothing won by being in Explore and its a lot of work to get a photo seen..But my long time dream is to be a sought after camera person ....still not sure why ..I knew when i saw these gloves hanging there that it was a photo opp..but the sun was wrong and the new camera was set on the wrong iso ....but others saw the same thing I saw ..the everyday things we do in life that mean something to someone else ...To me this picture screamed family .. from the littlest glove to the large one ..love how the largest pair surrounds the smaller gloves ..ie FAMILY TIES
