Spring in Vermont

Considering I live in Miami, as far as I knew we were in Summer! It almost seems to be the only season we have sometimes. When I think Spring I think of places I’ve been where it’s cool in the shade and warm in the sun.

One place that comes to mind is Vermont. This is one of my favorite pictures I took while there a couple years ago. I have actually posted this picture before but I just had to share the natural beauty of Vermont again for The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge because it really captures how I perceive spring.

I decided to take a few photos laying down in my bed just to play around. This is one of them. I kind of thought it fit for Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge.

But, considering the fact that I showed this to someone and their reaction was, “pod people”, I should probably show another perspective:

 See it?

Life is NOT a Beach…but relax

Life is not a beach. It is more like dirty pavement. It is hard and sometimes it gets messy but, if you take a moment to stop and look around it can still be almost as beautiful as any beach.

I found a great blog today, Cee’s Photography, that has photography tips and a lot of great photos to get inspiration from. I am going to use Cee’s “Tips and Tricks” to jump start my endeavor on 1) actually learning to use my camera and 2) learning to take a good photo that involves a little more than luck on my part!

This is a photo I took of the shadows of the safety railings on the second floor of San Francisco’s Historic Sharon Building in Golden Gate Park. I decided to use it for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Shadows.

If I ever get back to San Francisco I would love to take some more pictures of the shadows of the Golden Gate Bridge. I got just a couple while I was there. Here is one I posted in a previous post, The Shadow:

STOP HERE! Where is HERE? Well, you can definitely see it from the stop sign at NW 25th St and NW 2nd Ave in Miami. 🙂

My brother was with me when I took this picture and he questioned why I was even taking it. I’m glad I could use it for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Letters.

Devil in the Black Dress

I am an empty shell with no soul;

A soul that has been taken away

By a devil pretending to be an angel.

I was murdered by deception;

Deceived by the “angel” I trusted with my life

And let her take away.

I know now what is the truth:

That vixen

My angel

The devil in the black dress

Will always remain in my heart

And I will continue to pretend I don’t cry anymore.

I received this photograph today in an email from my Dad who is in Germany and I thought it was the perfect picture to take note of Earth Day 2014!

The picture was probably taken in either Frankfurt or Rothenberg ob der Tauber.

He noted that the picture looked like a “painting with black lines and splatches of different green paints”. I think it does too! It definitely is inspiring me to paint!

Paint – Part 2 of Don Charisma’s Art Prompt was so much fun! Basically we took our quick squiggles drawing from the day before and colored it in.

It was really fun selecting all of the colors. You won’t believe what it looked like before! Check it out here!
