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 - 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.

You Capture - Faces

Image
Beth? Are you out there?  Because I loved this challenge.so.much.   I think I captured a lot of love here too.  Oh, how I love her sweet face! And check out the eyelashes!! I thought only boys had eyelashes like that! (Do you like the bedhead too?) He is one of my most favorite people!  This is my honey, my rock, my money-maker, the love of my life! (Yes, sappy. But after more than 15 years together I still like him!) This is the other "man" in my life.  This is Bear.   He is sweet and stubborn and very jealous when it comes to sharing me with T.   This is "my" girl (the middle child).  She is the only one who looks enough like me for it to be obvious that she's my kid. She is so sweet and full of generosity and love.  Did you see the letter she wrote me the other day? No?  Go here and see.   And last, but certainly not least.  Me.  A sweaty mess after running 5+ miles wearing my awesome Team In Training training T-shirt.  This is the face a happy runner.   (F
