In a world of so many great photographers and writers, I am venturing into some unknown territories, leaving comfort zones, finally very willing to practice the art of seeing. By maintaining the practice of posting daily photos, I hope to continue learning about the possibilities that I trust are out there for the taking.
Avoided the sprinklers and red ants and got to see a very red San Jacinto Mountain.
A hundred yard walk out my door allows me to see some fine sunrises (even when there aren't any clouds).
After the meeting tonight and before So You Think You Can Dance, I ran out with my camera, cable shutter release and tripod to see how much of the last remnants of the setting sun I could capture.
Shame on me that I have not mentioned this before, but my husband won low net over all fields in the Mission Hills CC Seniors tournament (he almost didn’t sign up for because he didn’t feel he was playing well!) Here’s his trophy.
Congratulations Ray!
Late afternoon golf. I'm playing in Santa Barbara in about 2 weeks and me thinks I ought to see if I can even hit the ball.
My husband, the Spotter, spotted this hawk.
And he spotted this bunny.
I didn't even see the arrow made of weeds when I took this shot.
I was hoping for a star of light when I shot this photo of San Jacinto.
Lakeside golf course reflections just before the sun went behind SJ.
Another shot of Ray before our 5 minute session ended:-)
We could have had this backdrop but the football game called!
Watching a kelbytraining beginning! photoshop video last night, I learned the value of the Shadows/Highlights adjustment located in Photoshop, found under the Image menu, Adjustments, Shadows/Highlights. The lower part of this photo was initially so dark you couldn’t tell what you were looking at before I moved the shadow slider which lightened only the lawn.
7am. This is just one of a zillion different looks I wake up to every morning.
And as I turn to the right and looked out about 500 yards I liked the light on the Arnold Palmer lake along the 16th and 17th fairways. This is where I shoot (out toward the east – the right side of the photo) when I go out early for sunrise shots.
Didn't get up early enough this morning for the sunrise.
Another video song atop the Bump & Grind……..this time it was a birthday song to me (one day early), featuring Mary Kay, Stacy and Jennifer.

Late start on hike prevented seeing the moon over the San Jacintos.
Stacy, Mary Kay and Jen on the bump & grind.
A hiker offered to take this photo of us.
Cropped 400mm lens shot of the snow on SJ.
The contrasting clouds on the San Jacinto range got my attention here.
Headed back east to spend time with family for a while.
Happy Thanksgiving if you don’t hear from me while I’m away. (A first – I won’t be bringing my computer!!!)
Once I noticed the color on the mountain, I ran for a camera. By this capture, the color had faded some.
And 20 minutes later, we got a rainbow.
Thinking about the photography gear I want to use next weekend at the 4th Annual Birthday Slumber Party for about 26 women, I pulled out the Orbis Flashring and practiced on my live-in model, Ray.

I was practicing using the Orbis Flashring when Holly came over, so she willingly let me shoot her too.
