A Week In Review

My Favorite Photo Of The Week

This week I visited Historic Washington State Park which was the Confederate Capitol of Arkansas during part of the Civil War. The museum village includes historic, public and private buildings. In one of the homes, a young lady was demonstrated weaving on a historic loom. I loved this basket full of cotton fiber. So simple, yet so beautiful!

The Simple Things

There were several butterflies on these zinnias at the park. They kept fluttering all around me and didn't care that I was taking their picture. They were only interested in the last of the the nectar.

Picture Inspiration Week 34 - Hand Held

The State Park was full of ornamental trees. I spotted this beautiful tree with these tiny citrus fruits. It smelled wonderful. I'm guessing they're a type of orange, maybe mandarin oranges?

Prompt Addicts

Our prompt this week was to take a photo leaving plenty of space to add a verse or quote. This leaf caught my attention. It reminds me of an old flower called "Jack-In-The-Pulpit".

For the next several weeks I may not be doing as many link-ups. I'm taking four classes at the same time:

Two with Big Picture Classes ~ Textuality a journaling class for scrapbooking and Picture Fall a photo prompt class
Two with Kat Eye View Of The World ~ Digital Photography Basics and Find Your Eye Journey of Inspiration

I think I'm going to be very busy!! I knew I would learn so much from each of them and they just happened to be going on consecutively. One good thing though, there is no real deadline for any of them. If I get behind I can finish at anytime. I'm going to try very hard to keep up and apply myself to learning more about photography!!

My Favorite Photo Of The Week

Beautiful light was shining on the last of the dandelions.

I hope you won't get tired of fall leaves!
After flowers, they're my favorite thing to photograph.
The texture and the colors are always so beautiful!

Picture Inspiration Week 33 - long and tall

A long river...a tall sculpture.

52 Photos Project - round or circles

The acorns from our Pin Oak Tree are thin with a shallow cap. It looks like the smaller circle of gold has been hand-stitched to the acorn in a zig-zag pattern.

Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.

A Week In Review

I'm a couple of days late with my Week In Review. It's been very busy around here. I've been having some special times with my grandsons!

These little guys made me smile...all stacked up in an abandoned flower pot!!

Picture Inspiration Week 32 - Wall

On a local walking trail there is a Mile Of Health. Along this mile, health institutes and organizations were responsible for creating a section depicting healthy living. This section promotes Arkansas Children's Hospital.

Mosaic Muse - macro

I linked the first one to Mosaic Muse,

but I wanted to share both of them with you!!

I really don't think I need to say that I LOVE MACRO SHOTS OF NATURE!!! I am amazed every time I take a macro shot and upload it onto the computer! I always see amazing details. I promise this is a real leaf, although it does look like leather. I found them on my morning walk, snipped off a few and brought them home!! I'm so glad I saw them.
