WOW! The lighting must have been just about perfect for the sunset shot. Beautiful!

Love the pictures of Rose Island in Newport and the HDR(?) of the sunset from the ship. Where are the others taken?

Flying from Seattle to Chicago

Mt Adams in the background at right

Beautiful! It looks like a painting.

Can someone tell me how to post more than one picture at a time please? thanks :)

I've always added one picture at a time but in the same message.

Looks like you had decent weather in Seattle!

Yes, the weather ws beautiful both before and after our cruise.

We were in Seattle a few weeks ago and got this shot from the Bremerton ferry. It wasn't totally clear but we still had a pretty good view:

What in the world is this?

BTW, the Mt. Rainier pictures are great!

Taken with my new little Sony NEX-5 Micro 4/3rds Camera on a 7 mile hike. Great little camera!

Not azalea, mountain laurel. :) They are really beautiful this time of year in the NC mountains. Great pictures!

10 day forecast has one partly sunny day with rain or showers for the other 9. Showers are often accompanied by sun breaks!:cool:

We arrive May 11 and leave on the cruise on May 13. Our full day in Seattle shows 96% precip. :( I hope your weather guessers are like ours. If they are then we will probably have a bright, sunshiney day. :rolleyes:

I sure hope it is clear a week from now when we are in Seattle. :D

Okay, I didn't take this today but did when we were in Antigua a couple of weeks ago...

 

Love that shot! How big were the flowers and how tiny was the hummingbird?

Judy, I love the last pic!

Thanks! Do you think it could be called a garden escapee? I just love columbine. I have many more pictures from the day on Picasa (link below). We try to get to Williamsburg at the peak of the spring flower season. This is Garden Week so it was the perfect time.

Yesterday in Williamsburg.

My favorite garden:

What a beautiful Spring day you enjoyed. I really like the image of the lake with the dock leading into the middle of the frame. Is that a wild turkey you captured? I'm really jealous...still raining here. We supposedly live in the desert. I should pinch myself for complaining. I will be more grateful for this extra moisture come August :).

Thanks! The "dock" is actually part of a walkway that runs through the grounds of the Virginia Living Museum. The wild turkey is actually captive in one of the animal enclosures along the trail. The turkeys were with the deer. Other areas have foxes, coyote, vultures, eagles, bobcat, otters, and several others, all in their natural habitats. There is also a huge screened aviary with many birds native to our area including herons, pelicans, ducks, etc. There are many indoor exhibits and a planetarium. It is a great learning resource for the local school children (and adults!). More photos from the day are here:

BTW, it is raining today and much colder than yesterday. :(

We relocated for a new job...2285 miles from California to Georgia.

 

Big hassle, but they have fall colors here!

I thought that pano looked more like east than west. My first thought was that it looked just like a park here in Virginia a few miles away from me. My DH is from GA. You will find lots of beautiful places to practice your art there. I'm sure that it is a big change for you though!

Thanks so much for the information.

We didnt have anything planned when we were in Kodiak last year. Upon chance we found out about Making Memories charters and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was a driving tour in a 6 person van but the other people that previously signed up never came so we were the only ones on the tour. He took us to For Abercrombie, high above Kodiak for an awesome view of the city, to a salmon fish hatchery that normally doesn't give tours but he knew the people so we were able to go, out of the beaten path where he had seen a brown bear print the day before, etc. Too much fun to list and we had the best day of our trip and were sad to leave. In Kodiak you need at least a rental car or a guide or both to get the most out of your time here. There is not too much to do without acres to at least one of these.

I've seen several mentions of Making Memories. Could you tell me how much he charges for tours? Is it by the hour our by the tour? There is no information on the website. Thanks.

In the reply box in CC click the Insert image icon.* A small box will open for you to insert the HTML code that you just copied. Click CTRL-V to paste the HTML into the box. The picture should appear in the reply box. Click Preview Post to see if it is OK. Then click Submit reply.

I really like this photo. Nice capture Judy!

Thanks!

Mmmm.....I want one of those steaks!

A few more zoo shots:

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was almost like the lions were trained to look directly into a camera lens. Either that, or they were really bored. They'd stare directly at me for about 30 seconds so that I could play with several different exposures.

Maybe they were thinking, LUNCH!

Wonderful pictures, Justin.

this one is amazing, I'll be sitting for hours now trying to get a similiar picture, Thanks Judy ;)

Thanks, it was fun trying to catch that drop. After several (many!) tries, I finally set my camera on burst mode and took about 20 pictures before I caught the drop in mid-air. I also used macro mode and snow setting. I actually caught drops twice!

I have lots of pictures at the Picasa link below (go to My Photos) including the 2nd drop and some interesting HDR images.
