My mother Margaret, me, and my daughter Sara at the Nursing Home. Actually taken 8/6/06
Calm Sea Favourite
I still have hundreds to get through and am only at the beginning of editing the Round the Island shots but although I don't think this is the best composition I really love this one. I like how it captures so much of what is going on in the race including showing the guy in the yellow boat still has his keel up, and although he is not on a reach (sailing in same direction as wind) I guess with the little wind he didn't need the keel down to stabilise the boat so he would go faster with it up. I think the fishing boat spoils the composition but I like it there anyway.
Red White and Blue Favourite
FAMILY FAVOURITE
Mia blowing out her 4 candles on her Disney Princess Castle cake. I did a lot of work on this as I combined two pictures. The best one of Mia had Holly in the background looking "durrrrr"! Touch of ambience added but I can't remember why!
FAMILY FAVOURITE
Mia's 4th birthday party. Stiflingly hot day and her Disney Princess Cake was collapsing in the heat. She was fascinated with it as was Holly who is looking on.
FAMILY TREE
There used to be Geoff and Beryl and they begat Andrew and Alison.
Andrew married Layla a Peruvian who has a daughter called Maria Fernanda who is now 14 and is going through a very difficult stage of not being interested in school and you can guess what she is interested in. They have Mia who is going to be 4 in July and will start full time school in September.
Alison married Derek and they have Alec 9 and Hannah 6.
There also used to be me (Kate) and Eric and we adopted Sammy when she was 6 weeks old. She has married Phil a farmer and they have Thomas 7 and Holly 5.
Now there is me (Kate) and Geoff and we begat Charlotte who is 30. I do have somewhere a shot of our extended families - one with all Geoff's family and one with mine but I fear that would be even more confusing.

Theme for July 24: Trees, Leaves and tree and leaf-like objects as compositional elements
Theme for July 24: Trees, Leaves and tree and leaf-like objects as compositional elements. This could be any tree-like or leaf-like objects such as poles, masts, ferns, horsetails, etc. Post intakes on Monday July 24 and outtakes on the 23rd and 25th (or anytime).
Ideas include using these elements as lines, angles, patterns, balance etc.

MACRO DOF - Honeysuckle
Taken with 70-300 zoom on full zoom. Macro lens is on my shopping list for next year if I am lucky!
MACRO DOF - Hogweed Edited
Following Mary's suggestion I have extended the canvas and part cloned/part layered to complete the right hand hogweed and include background beyond.
Much better thanks. I shall now post to BP so don't bother commenting on BP.

OUTTAKE: Horsetails and Grass Patterns
OUTTAKE: Horsetails and Grass Patterns, by Mary Stebbins, clck image to view larger.I decided to use this because the horsetails look like miniature trees and the grass blades are nice vertical elements like tree trunks. Together they form a pleasing patern.
Outtake
A barrel of fun: Trees as compositional elements. I took this in Hamilton, Ontario Canda today (6-22) on my way back to NY. Click image to view larger. I had some "better ones" but left them in MI.
MACRO DOF - White Campion Outtake
There were many of these in the woods about a month ago although not so many as the year before. Last year there were more different colours and shades of pink and white.
