You Capture - Yellow

Yellow.  I tried to find it in places other than nature...since I've been taking a lot of pictures of mountains, clouds, snow and other mother nature-y kind of things.

A plastic chain in the parking lot at T's office. 
Supposed to keep people from parking on the dirt instead of in the parking spots. 
This was the section that was still standing. 
An adjacent section was broken on the ground, probably caused by someone backing up into it.



Nothing like a worn label in an elevator.  
Poor little fraying, peeling label.

Check out the other yellow captured and shared at Beth's.

    I like how plastic chains are supposed to protect areas from cars. Because a car wouldn't break a plastic chain, right? :) Very nice photos - and way to go to think outside of nature (which I only partly did.)

    the plastic chain idea is pretty pointless...

    I didn't like the YELLOW assignment at first but it DID make me summon creativity, as it did you and many others I've visited. Very interesting shots. Peeling labels bug me, don't they you? I always want to "help" them peel the rest of the way off.

    Great shots! I like how you took pictures of things other than flowers...which is what I think most of us think of when we think of yellow.

    I had a hard time making all my yellow shots tell a cohesive story, which I am fixated on doing for some reason. I'll have to work on that for next week.

    I like that chain shot a lot.

    Both of those are cool. You could've used the chain for the DOF shot this week!

You Capture - DOF

Image
I loved this challenge.  I've been striving to find "the" depth of field picture that just speaks to me.  Luckily I had lots of opportunity this past weekend to find the pictures I wanted to.  On Saturday I boarded a bus to California's Amador County wine country and visited 4 different wineries with a friend. These were so bright and beautiful and simple. The colors!! Perfection! I took about 20 pictures of this door trying to get this perspective.  I love this one.  This was another one that was may favorite of about 20.   I think it's the burst of orange.   I can't wait to see all the beautiful pictures everyone else is going to post over at Beth's.

You Capture - Feet

Image
So, my first thought was to take a picture of all the little feet in my house, from cats to dogs to kids.  And then I went on a little hike last Sunday as part of some prescribed quiet time.  It was lovely.  And it got me to thinking about where my feet tread in life. The reflection of my feet in the side of my truck after my run before my hike. I was planning on heading to a place I used to go in high school.  Right on the edge of town - less than 5 minutes from my house - there is a small area of rocks on the side of the mountain that I used to climb with a friend.  I wanted to sit on the top of those rocks and just listen to the silence.  And here is that spot.  Unfortunately, the people who live at the base of this hill obviously own the land up to the hill and put a fence al the way to the base of it.  So I drove up the dirt road a bit to the south of this spot and found a different spot.   Looking down at the town I grew up, it still lo...

You Capture - Best Shot

Image
I suppose after two weeks of getting assignments and pictures that I *really* liked, it was time for me to struggle.  I wasn't taking any pictures that just spoke  to me.  But then again, it took me a long time to start taking pictures that I really liked. But I do have a couple that I think were my best for the week.  Hey, I've got an idea! Let me share them with you! This was taken on a hike the two older girls and I took last week.   And then we had our first harvest. One lone strawberry.  There are many more growing.  We are trying to keep the birds from nibbling on them before we get a chance to pick them.  Check out what other's thought was their best shot over at Beth's.
