Where did this week go? Seems like I merely blinked and it was gone.
Going to jump right into it today . . . here are the prompts we were looking for.
Shine, Fast, Left, Peace and Plain.
1. Shine
Love the look of sunshine filtered through the treetops.
2. Fast
I often try to capture butterfly shots but they are usually too fast . . . but not this day.
Caught him/her? resting a spell on my Russian Red kale.
3. Left
I still get thrown off by delayed left turn signals . . . always ready to jump out there.
4. Peace
There's something so peaceful about a swan floating gracefully on a pond . . .
unless it's chasing the ducks away, then it is quite agressive.
5. Plain
The black swan I chose for the last prompt and this one as well were taken at the Greater Vancouver Zoo. Many exotic birds populate the park's ponds and streams and I thought it was just too cute when I over heard a little boy say, "Oh , those are just plain old ducks."
Love your peaceful swan shot, looks so calm until the next shot!
ReplyDeleteDear Andrea Dawn,
ReplyDeleteI feel the same as you when I see sunlight filtering everywhere (pic #1), but I had to chuckle and marvel when I saw the water droplets "filtering" everywhere in the swan/duck confrontation (#4b). Delightful all!

Great set this week, Andrea Dawn! We had very similar thoughts for left! Love shine and peace too! Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteJust great outside shots. Shine and peace stand out. Thanks
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! There are always so many options to photo at the zoo! Geese are scary though....as shown in your second photo of that goose!
ReplyDeleteI love your swan and geese shots. I always want to see shots of birds of any kind. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteyour 'plain old ducks', are 'just' perfect!
ReplyDeleteisn't Spring such a wonderful time!
I tried to capture a butterfly shot yesterday and it wasn't having anything of it - much too fast. Nicely done with the prompts this week.
ReplyDeleteVery nice series of photos ..
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the black swan ...
Best regards, Karin
Another great set. I love left and plain!
ReplyDeleteGood stuff.
Great set my favorite is your peace shot.
ReplyDeleteGreat set - shine is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shine shot and I was looking for a left hand sign to take a picture of....but then I realized I would have to get probably park in order to shoot one so I skipped it. :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice set. Your Shine is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI also like Peace (but yikes they can be a bit aggresive).
Oh and that Fast Shot...very pretty.
LOVE all of the nature in these shots!
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea,
ReplyDeleteYour photos are gorgeous! I am amazed by all the talent I see. Each photo brought a smile to my face. Nature at its best!
The light filtering thru the trees is so lovely. I don't see black swans very often and yes, they can be quite aggressive. Lovely line-up, have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteLove your fast and your plain shots. Beautiful pictures, as usual!!!
ReplyDeleteGood shots - Your Ducks have way too much personality to be plain!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots this week! Especially love the first two!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful collection! But that light in your "shine" capture is fantastic!
