Wendy's 52 Photo's in 2015

15/52 Theme: Darkness - Abandoned House with the Moon Rising. The sun had set, the moon was rising and we passed this old abandoned house. I got several photos until the dog came after me. That was scary but I survived. I got a few more shots from the window of the car though.

Very nice Wendy!

Thank You Very much Pat. It's difficult shooting in the dark, but that's why I'm still working at the shots. I am learning a great deal from the challenges.

17/52 Theme Landscape. We went out to Antelope Island this evening. From Buffalo Point I found this shot of the mountain by White Rock Bay. The sun was low so the shadows on the hills make the folds in the hills look deep and textured. I also liked the colors on the this time of year.

The sunset on the island was spectacular tonight. This is another landscape for my thread.

Good job Wendy, on both the shot and growing the orchid.

Love the new shots Wendy! You are a superb photog!

 

[wthorson]

Thank You Marilynne, growing flowers and photography are my two passions.

 

[wthorson]

Thank You for the compliment Chris.

You have another winner their Wendy. It must be doubly sweet to have also grown the flower yourself.

 

[wthorson]

Ron, Thanks so much for the compliments.

19/52 Theme:Entrance: This is the Doorway to the Secret Garden at Thanksgiving Point. To get to the doorway one must walk through a dark tunnel of vines. When you see the light coming from the doorway, and the flowers beyond the entrance, it seems magical.

20/52 Theme Repetition: At Thanksgiving Point there is a Gorgeous English Garden with a Fabulous water feature. I thought that it would be a great shot for the repetition theme.

Thanks so much Paul. I agree, the it is a great shot with the beautiful colors. I wish that I hadn't had to crop out the people.

21/52 Theme: Flowers: I wanted to take photo's of the iris' that are blooming all around, but it has been raining and cloudy since last week. So I went and asked a neighbor if I could cut some of her iris'. She was happy to let me take them and I was happy to have to ability to use my lights to get a shot of these beautiful flowers. I have also been channeling Georgia O'Keeffe again. The colors are not the same but I was thinking of Georgia O'Keeffe's "Light Iris" when I was shooting.
