ABSTRACT animal

This is a picture of one of the Cleveland Zoo's elephants who is currently being a guest at the Columbus Zoo as the Cleveland Zoo's elephant exhibit is being overhauled for a couple of years. I've visited this elephant so many times in my life -- I'm old, but he's OLDER!!! Elephants have always been my favorite at the zoo. I love the way their skin looks...so dry, but cool shapes and lines. They have so much character to their bodies. Funny how shapes and lines are character on their bodies and just plain old ugly wrinkles on us humans.

Seeing RED!!!!

You guys are quickly going to get tired of my flower pictures. I just love to take them though.

Vision of Love

In my quest to become a better photographer, I am trying very hard to look at my subjects in a different way to find the best angle. I have found that thus far I enjoy taking pictures of natural things best -- flowers and architecturally interesting things don't blink like people. These are roses in my mother's yard and I was looking closely for the best roses and lo' and behold I found this naturally shaped HEART.

Luck of the Dandelion

When I was a kid we used to blow on the weedy dandelions and make a wish for good luck!

Blue-Eyed Love

Well, this is my first post here and I will be amazed if it actually shows up picture and all. If it miraculously does, this is a picture of my husband's eye, love of my life, blue-eyes and all.
