Ok, so it's raining and I thought of trying slow shutter speed shots but hand held just for fun. Interesting with the help of photoshop.

She really reminds me of Jane Hathaway from the Beverly Hillbillys!

Yep, now that you mention it. She's a character too.

Thanks for the likes Pete.

My friend, if your stuff weren't so dang good, you would not be getting the likes. You deserve them.

Day 132, May 11th

I went to the dog park this afternoon and met Doris. Doris is a brave little dog that her mistress stained pink. Not for the faint of heart.









Then went for dinner and met the nice and friendly waitress:



And on the walk back home, saw this maple tree with new leaves that were backlit like it was hard to resist:

Day 133, May 12th

Just had time to take a few shots today, the tree that I've visited before is not yet still full bloomed



But the leaves are growing quite fast (different tree)



And finally, cat and mouse

Somehow I'm starting to feel compassion for the toy mouse.....

Great shot of the leaves to IMHO and cool tilted tree.

Happy Mother's Day to all Moms on the forum.

I love the cat and mouse, as well as the wet webs. come to think of it they are ALL so fun to look at.

 

[Just-Clayton]

Great nature shots!!

And a few shots from yesterday that I didn't have time to process:

The second one reminds me of a dinosaur's foot (NOT that I've seen one in real life !) Nice work, Marcel! Your composition is always so excellent!

Marcel, I have found tree roots to be great HDR candidates, you might want to revisit and give it a try. Great shots.

Day 136, May 15th

I'm trying to figure out the best light conditions for this tree. The flowers are coming out now and I just didn't want to miss them.



Tis was just across the street.

Bonus for day 136, Piano persons, nice people, great instrument, good light, what else was I supposed to ask for?

Day 137, May 16th.

Huge deception this morning. The beautiful leaning tree no longer is. I don't know when it fell, but it had to be during the night. So, I probably got the last picture of the living tree. I had planned to do the 4 seasons with it.

Well, this is the shot I got this morning:

I know what that tree's last words were.

"I'm stumped!"

 

[Marcel]

Came back from work and the tree was all gone, nothing left...

So I'm back to piano persons. This person is a piano tech from Montreal visiting friends, servicing their piano. Well, he was kind of in a corner and asked for my help with this instrument. So he couldn't refuse to have his pic done, lol
