Day 235 - Normal, yet Unique

Tissues are so wonderful in that you can see them every day and never notice their uniqueness. When you pull one out, the next will have a have different curvature, folds and flip. A cool blog would be 365 days of tissues. However it would most likely get old after a month (or a week, depending on who you are), therefore you would have to incorporate different colors, backgrounds, textures etc. Sounds like fun!

Day 223 - Rainbow

Yesterday it was raining buckets for about twenty minutes and then it just sort of stopped. And along came the sunlight. So this is a shot of a rainbow that occurred after the rain. I could not get the whole rainbow (from start to finish) in one shot because all I have is an 18 - 55 mm lens.

Day 222 - Strange Symmetry

This during sunset at my house. I was taking picture of the pond in my back yard and once I was finished I turned around, ready to head back into the house, and I saw this. I thought it look interesting and symmetrical.

Day 220 - Portrait

I think that these are the only portrait shots I have posted to this blog. I really like shooting in landscape, but as you can see, the only way to capture the size of these windmills is to shoot portrait.

Day 219 - Clouds

I was playing basketball out on my driveway and I looked over to the right and I saw these clouds that were very interesting. So I ran inside to get my camera and came back out to get this picture.

The flower is stretched out very wide. It's ironic because the aperture isn't wide open! ha ha ha ha... Ah I'm so funny... Ah...

Day 214 - Bold Beaks... and Seagulls

I also took these at Craigville Beach in Cape Cod. These pics are of these seagulls that repeatedly tried to steal the food from these kids bags. The kids tried to keep burying their food under many bags, but the seagulls kept getting at it. It was so funny for us watching. I swear, the seagulls are trained to entertain. Sorry they are a little far away. I only have a 18 - 55mm lens.

These were all around:

Then I got a close-up and of the bold bandit.
