Chain Line

In an effort to try and practice framing with the lines so ellogantly drawn by our very own Katy I thought I would try a few out. Here is my son on the tire swing using the chain framing his face. Didnt quite work out but he sure looks happy! Dont you love how his hair nearly flares in the sun! I sure do! CC

I do apologize... I realize I've posted another vintage bokeh photo, but I have given in... it's just me, and I can't stop myself! ;) Plus, don't these old clothespins just scream for a vintage finish?

Blind lines

This is the shadow cast in the last afternoon by the mini-blinds on my front window. The lighter half is my wall, the darker part is a wool blanket that is currently covering a card table.

Horizon Line

I knew exactly what I wanted for this challenge since I've been reading Kelby's Digital Photography book and was just going over the section on panaramas. I decided a panaroma would be the perfect way to portray a LINE. It ended up being tougher than anticipated simply due to the weather conditions. We headed to the beach yesterday but ended up with Blah pictures so today we made another trip later in the day (better light) and got the special treat of some beautiful cloud cover. I loved the way it turned out. I did have to shrink it down for the blog, it ended up being about 150 megapixels with 27 pictures total. The tiny size it shows up here really doesn't do it justice. Make sure you click to blow it up.

Lots of lines...but yet, not line

Confused by my title? Let me explain...


Yesterday we went to a water park about 45 minutes from our house. The forecast called for extreme heat, so we thought...WATER PARK. I brought my camera with me because we totally thought that EVERYONE else in the Phoenix area would have had the same thought, so naturally I would see a lot of people waiting in LINE...we were wrong.


It was a ghost town...no LINES for any of the water slides...ANY. My kids were ecstatic, and went on more slides yesterday than all of our previous visits totalled.


So, I was left with taking pictures of all of the "lines" that made up the architecture of the slides...holding the areas for the people to form lines.


So, here you see lots of lines...yet no line. Wait, now I'm confused.

Fence Line

Driving around Weatherford, TX at 106 F in the shade,

my dog thought I was crazy to get out of the car.

This fence goes on forever.

It is a fabulous Ranch with horses staying cool under the sprinkler systems on green meadows.

Bark Line

Im just thinking this tree is fantastic. I stumbled upon it when I was shooting something else. There was no way around the light coming around the sides of the tree no matter what angle I took it on. CC Welcomed and More photos
