Thank you! And yes, tripods are allowed, but I took this handheld (I'm always forgetting my tripod...
)You have a steady hand and eye!Thank you! And yes, tripods are allowed, but I took this handheld (I'm always forgetting my tripod...
Awww...thank you!!!
Yeah, he looks a little perturbed...... LOL!!
Pink flowers, church, lighthouse, frog, shipping container house, bridge, and large chandelier....I love them all!!
Nice. Good choice with monochrome, I like the processing.
I struggle with getting the right angles on bridge photos, like, a lot. For some reason it seems really difficult.
Very cool.
Wow. Beautiful Basilica, well shot!
Nice light, colors. Love the reflection.
It is not an ordinary frog and you photographed it so nicely Lyndee.

Week 13
This is still, by far, my favorite place to photograph the St. Louis Arch. There are countless other compositions, perspectives and locations, but, I don't know...I just prefer shooting the Arch from this alleyway. It's quiet, kinda dark, not touristy...I like it.

Oh, yeah, that is a NEAT perspective and location from which to shoot the Arch! VERY nicely done! I love how you caught the reflection in the puddle, too!
Thanks, Connie!
Thank you so much, Gordo!
Week 14
I will not be posting one of my photos this week. Rather, this is a image of my great niece, Zarah, taken by her mom in early March. When her parents (my nephew and his wife) announced that they were going to be first time parents last year, reactions went from excited screams of "Congratulations!", to lighthearted teasing..."Dude, you will never retire..!" (Zarah's parents are in their late and mid forties, respectively).
When Zarah came kicking and screaming into this world, her parents were overjoyed, as were we all. Since, due to Covid, most of the family members were unable to meet her, photos with her full name were electronically sent to everyone. I took one look at my great niece's name and announced that, "...henceforth now and forever more, Zarah will be known as "Zippy"...", and to my surprise, her parents loved the nickname. Sooo...Zippy it was.
Our family was able to watch Zippy grow and thrive from afar through photos and videos, and updates on her progress were non-stop. First smile...first attempts to creep/crawl; yep, her parents kept us in the loop and we looked forward to the day when we could actually meet our precious baby in person.
Last month, and shortly after this photo was taken, in what can only be categorized as a freak accident (there's just no other way to describe it), Zippy suffered a fall and was deprived of oxygen. In the hospital, she was placed on a ventilator and countless tests were run, but her parents soon received the news that her condition was irreversible. Still, we all prayed fervently for a miracle, but it was not to be. This past Thursday evening, our precious baby was removed from life support, and with her devastated parents by her side and holding her hands, Zippy slipped away. She was 8 months and one day old.
Today is Zippy's funeral. It will be a very small affair, with only very immediate family present. Other family members, like myself, who were robbed of seeing her in person when she was born, have now been, once again denied the opportunity of supporting her parents by being present at her service - all due to Covid. Our only comfort is in knowing and remembering the sheer joy and happiness she brought to our lives during her short time here on this earth.
So, I'm asking for your forbearance this week as I pause to honor the life of this beautiful baby.

Oh, Lyndee. I'm so sorry. So, so heartbreaking!!
Such a cute little girl, and such a sadly all-too-short life!!!! Heartbreaking, indeed. You and your entire family, especially Zippy's parents, have my condolences and deep sympathy.
You chose a lovely and appropriate way to honor Zippy by telling us (your "other" family) about her and sharing her photo.
