Golden eagle, Hydrangeas, Photography, Picnic lunch, Tennessee River

101213_260PicnicFlowersRWell, we didn’t actually go on a picnic. We just ate lunch out on the deck. But I like to call it going on a picnic.

Since we live close to the Tennessee River, we sometimes see really cool animals. Today we saw an eagle flying over our heads. I ran to get my binoculars; and after seeing him up close, I THINK he was a golden eagle. But I am no expert. That is for sure. But one thing is certain, he was a MASSIVE bird.

But none of that has anything to do with my photo. I just liked the flowers on the table.

Flowers in a vase, Hydrangeas, Photography, Still life, window light

070713_163FlowerShadowsRI found the perfect photo of the day while shopping today. It was of a little girl posing in front of a mirror in the middle of Banana Republic. I could not get my camera phone out quickly enough and missed the shot. She apparently grew tired of her charade and walked off.

Drat.

That opportunity gone, I had to resort to my own kitchen counter.

Hydrangeas, kitties and nuts

acorns, cats, Hydrangeas

Because my time is very limited lately, I photograph what I can find around the house. These hydrangeas are from our yard, and they never cease to amaze me in their color changes. They start out white, turn a light blue and then eventually this beautiful purple and green shade. Just like George Clooney, they get more stunning with age. But I am getting sidetracked. Here are my latest photos – with a little help from my furry friends.

Dried hydrangea leaf

  • Vada comes out from under the bed to make sure the hydrangeas will not hurt her.

    Sera checks out the spot Vada sniffed to see what she might be missing.

    Rotting apples and acorn leaves. It was either photograph them, or throw them out to the squirrels. I decided to do both.

    The biggest acorns I’ve ever seen. They were growing downtown.

    One of my little helpers – Sera.

    My parting shot. River. He wanted no part of the activity.
