Fall

There's a place not far from San Diego called Bates Nut Farm where they grow pumpkins, have hay rides, a corn maze, and other fun family activities.  I took a few hours off and headed on out for a picture. 

Rule of thirds

Walking around manhattan yesterday I couldn't get inspired.  Then for some reason this bright orange flag called my name.  So I made it fit into my rule of thirds theme.

Not sure if I've got this right. I took about 60 photos this week. This felt closest to what I wanted. I very much appreciated the blog taking me to places in the city I hadn't been to before.

Spending my birthday at our nation's capital with my mom and daughter. Beautiful day! Just too bad nothing gets accomplished in this building.

James organized a fund raiser for childhood cancer at a local market.  Friends and family sold "Luke's Lollies" and cancer bracelets and brought in donations of over $600.00!  James took this photo of one of the buckets of lollies.

Last night's sunset in Montauk.

was really spoiled for subject matter this week as we are at our safari camp in the Ruaha National Park,
way south west of Dar es Salaam. Took dozens of photos (actually no, 445 0n day 1!!!) but chose this one. Hope it conforms to Rule of Thirds.

We spent the weekend in Montauk again and visited The Montauk Lighthouse this time.

Not my best week - really struggled until today.  Taken at a wonderful National Hunt stable in the Cotswolds - happy horses

Guess where I was today?  This is a roller coaster that I'm waaaay too chicken to ride!!

On vacation in northern California and thought this might work for "Rule of Thirds".  It is picture perfect in San Fransisco!

Something new in the windows of Bloomingdale's this week, just a little launch I've been working on...

I took this photo at a nearby market. They want 35.00 dollars for a giant pumpkin. I will not be buying one.

Spectacular sunset last night!

(Love the possibilities of this theme-- I use rule of thirds ALL the time.)

Rusty

I reallly enjoyed playing with the focus on this one. Didn't capture as much of my rusty Sam Adams Oktoberfest as i hoped but but this project is teaching me so much about framing, focus etc and is been great fun so far. Now if I could just learn to post before Sunday night...!

Walking on the Highline in NYC today, I spotted lots of options for rust covered objects. But then discovered this huge art installation of rusty squares covering the side of a building, and decided this was my favorite.

I tried to compete with Janet and her three themes in one.  Rusty, shallow depth of field and leading lines.  I have no idea where this little can came from but maybe it will be used for the wood.

Dillon spotted this car on the side of the road. He's a big fan of the show American Pickers and thought this would be a perfect find for the show.

James and I could not resist posting this photo of his cousin, Madeline.  She has rusty colored hair and gets more adorable by the minute.

Everything is covered in rusty red dust up here in Karratha. The pilbara is an iron ore hotspot and the red ore rock dust gets over everything- I feel sorry for mum who washes her WHITE bed sheets and hangs them outside to dry! This picture shows just how red the dust is!

This is my favorite outdoor chair I use for camping and/or at home.  It has seen better days, but I still love it!

A quick visit to an old favorite

West Village bar.

This is an old tractor that is on the front lawn of a home I pass on my way to the gym each day. I was wondering if I was going to get in trouble for trespassing while trying to snap this photo!  Luckily, I don't think anyone saw me!

I found myself walking at our local park today looking for rust. I went to the park zero times last year and because of the blog I am now up to six times (so far) this year. Thank you!!!

This week's project was not too difficult for me....I was able to choose my subject from many!!
I took a stroll round our village, Matipwili, and finally chose this picture.
The people living in this house would consider themselves lucky not to have a thatched roof!

Two in a row but how could I not take a photo of this gorgeous butterfly with rusty coloured wings!

Pam, I found a band picture to fit into the theme this week, and it isn't a rusty instrument!  The uniforms the band wears are getting old.  This shako (what the hats are called) needs a new strap as the buckle is rusting away.

Old Rusty

This bucking bronco is in the background of my old pickup truck picture.  He's a bit rusty too.

I spotted this abandoned boat anchored in the harbor.  I wonder what its story is?

Just a mile or so from my home are the remains of the old Stage Coach stop from the 1880's.  

 I knew I'd find plenty of rust..... 

HERE is one of my old blog entries on the Stage Coach Stop if you are interested in learning more.
