Bi-Weekly Challenge Part 1
Where else can one go and find plenty of statue's but a cemetery. It looked like rain first thing this morning but then the sun came out (for a while) so I ran over to the cemetery here in town. Lots of glare to deal with but I found plenty. That's why I'm going to post in Parts.
Thanks for looking, as always C&C's welcome.
Mini Challenge - post 1
This was not an easy shot for me. I had to stand on a small rock at the edge of a pond and squat w/two bad knees. And when I'm down for as long as I was I couldn't get back up-thank goodness my husband was with me :o). Had to have been a funny sight. Then I got home to discover I cut the poor kids elbow off..other than that I like the shot.
Critiques very welcome. Have a great day!

Last of the Two's
In Frederick Meijer Garden you will find these two statues facing each other. They say that they really don't know the reasoning behind these two men sitting like this.
At the Air Zoo there are these two planes in a dog fight - one is upside down and the other is painted on the mural.
There was also this old Ford in amongst the airplanes at the Air Zoo and I liked the headlights.
This shot is another that caught my eye at the Air Zoo, but it was not an airplane - it was a double steering wheel of an old car. Not everything at the Air Zoo was airplanes

My synch shot....
Sean (my 6 yr. old) was yelling out the car window, "Mom, what the heck are you doin'?".
I couldn't resist adding this photo. We pulled off the interstate at the exit for Bristol. I'm trying to read mapquest directions and not run myself off the road at the same time when I hear Sean say, "Mom! Look! It's the Statue of Liberty!".
To which I reply, "That's in New York. Now, shush, Mommy's trying to drive." (Somehow silence is supposed to help me not be lost?)
Sean: (Indignent) "Mooooooom. It IS the Statue of Liberty!".
Me: "No it's not! THAT Statue is located in ........Oh...."
Half the Challenge
This was shot at the Santa Fe photography workshop I attended in March.
This cow with an attitude was shot on our way home from Glacier National Park last summer.
This silhouette of Sinopah Mountain was shot on slide film a few summers ago. I scanned it using a Nikon film scanner.
A Little Bit Of This And That
A Hint Of Rainbow.
This bridge is called the Tridge it is a rare place that three rivers meet. We walked all three parts of the Tridge. There is a couple that sits there day in and day out just looking at it and holding hands.
Now just for a laugh. This is Sinatra my Uncles rooster. He calls him his "crow". But he showed us not to ever get between a rooster and his hen. Or this can happen to you! I laughed so hard when this happened I couldn't believe I got the shots.
Come Meet The Boy
The Getty Villa has re-opened
The east garden fountain is nice as is the new entrance entrance2 I also got a picture of a wild eyed bronze and an orange fruit or seedpod. We had a great time even though it rained. We recommend anyone that can, to make reservations and enjoy the art and architecture architecture 2 architecture 3.
