Sand Man

Another cousin enjoying the beach. Lucky for him the tide was going out as he kept yelling that his hands were stuck in the sand. I was focusing…

Boating

Here’s my cousin’s little boy who just turned 4 the other day. He had a great time playing with the boats during July 4th. As a kid I…

Star Fish

When we first got to the beach the tide was coming in. My cousin found this starfish as the tide was going out. Since the starfish hadn’t gone…

Skimboarding

My cousin Darren showing of his skimboarding skills. Whenever I had tried the skimboard (years ago) it just seemed to stop short and never skimmed across the water….

Cooling Off

Mom and I tried to go out to Saquish on Saturday but Mother Nature was against us. A thunderstorm rolled through at mid-morning and we waited it out….

Macro Meetup: Petals

We had a lot of rain the night before this shoot and you could tell it had done a lot of damage to the flowers. I was mostly…

Macro Meetup: Weave

I like how this flower looks like the petals are woven together. I loved the colors of this flower and how the yellow fades into the green.

Macro Meetup: Stems

I had to take quite a few shots of these stamins in order to get the focus the way I wanted it. As I mentioned in yesterday’s post…

I mentioned that the Fish Face shot was probably my favorite/best use of negative space but this shot I liked alot also. Maybe it would be even better…

Negative Space: Moon

This is a shot of space…I mean of negative space. Actually, I used space to show negative space 🙂

Negative Space: Lantern

Not sure this one really uses negative space correctly but I liked the look of the lantern so I wanted to take a photo of it.

Negative Space: Flower

I’m guessing this is negative space. I really liked the background color behind the flower and think it enhances the image.

Negative Space: Fish Face

I went to another Photography Meetup meeting last Wednesday and our assignment was to shot images with negative space. Thankfully, we were given some directions on what negative…

Judy & John

Meet my Aunt Jud and Uncle John. Along with my parents, these are two of the most amazing, loving people you will ever meet. Every year they host…

Cracker Jack

I don’t think it would be the Saquish Parade without Cracker Jack. He’s been in it for a very long time. And yes, he does throw Cracker Jacks…

Saquish Parade

My cousin’s kids decorated two of the trucks that were in the parade. Here’s a shot of each of them. I really like that you can see the…

It was a gray morning for our walk but at least it wasn’t raining hard (a sprinkle here and there). The red paddles of the Plymouth Paddle Boat…
