Weekly Photo Challenge: Motion …

“The challenge this week is to share your photographs that have captured motion, and tell us the stories behind the images”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My photographs are of the Flying Horses on the island of Martha’s Vineyard.  The Flying Horses are the oldest platform carousel in the United States.  It was  brought to the Island in 1884 from Coney Island.

I’ve been riding on these Flying Horses since I was a toddler and still do when I get the chance.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Blur …

‘The prompt this week is to share a photo that’s a blur. You could keep your camera out of focus to achieve a blurry photo, or take a photo of something in motion. Or go in a different direction — capture an image of an experience that would otherwise be a blur, or of something in a state of flux.’

~~~~~~~

My photo is of the lights on the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in New York City… I simply pointed my camera and quickly moved it while taking the picture.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Ephemeral…

The prompt is to show us what ephemeral means to you.

The definition of ephemeral is: lasting a very short time; short-lived.

These icicles definitely qualify as short-lived.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Wall …

Weekly prompt:  From the interior walls of our home, to our book club’s Facebook wall, to the community bulletin board at the local market, walls are the canvases of our lives: where stories are read, voices are heard, ideas are shared. Much can be revealed from the items on a wall, from old postcards to long-forgotten flyers.

This week, consider the walls you’ve erected and decorated, the halls you walk down each day, or the exteriors you’ve ignored or neglected. What do these walls reveal about a place, people, or you?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I haven’t decorated, erected or painted any of these walls but each one has intrigued me enough to take a picture.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Reward …

I received this amaryllis at Christmas.  I fell in love with it and enjoyed watching as each stalk grew and these beautiful flowers bloomed.  When all the flowers were done I followed the instructions to cut the plant back to 2 inches and treat it as a house plant.  I wasn’t sure this would work for me but lo and behold last week I got my reward…. the plant is growing and who knows, maybe next Christmas another reward when it blooms again.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Rule of Thirds …

‘The Rule of Thirds is a photography concept that puts the subject of the photograph off-center, which usually results in blank space in the rest of the image. If you focus closely on your subject and use a wide aperture, your photograph’s background will also be beautifully blurred in that blank space. The blurred area behind your focal point is referred to as bokeh, and when executed well, it adds depth and artistry to an otherwise simplistic photograph.’
