Some of my favorite photos
Cee invites us to pick a subject based upon a photo of hers. I decided to go with a small building. This has got to be one of the smallest post offices I’ve ever seen. The 2019 population in this small town on Hatteras Island was 91.

There are times where some subjects are better portrayed with a wide angle view. Here are a few examples that I have chosen (each one is under 30 mm)
A wide view was definitely needed for this “fog bow” at the beach.
In this next photo, I was attempting to get the entire piano keyboard into view.
The last photo is my first lightning shot. I cropped it quite a bit and wished I had a longer lens on this particular occasion.

I’ve been waiting for a theme to use this photo and this theme is perfect.
The sun’ll come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There’ll be sun
I love taking photos of insects and have been known to chase dragonflies or butterflies. If there is cloud cover or a bit of shade, the photos are much richer in color than those in the sun. The first photo was taken today in the bright sun. The dragonfly lacks the detail that I like.
The next photo was taken in June of this year under softer light. The colors in the dragonfly are much richer and I can see the detail in the wings a lot better.

I am always inspired by nature and the beauty around us. We recently moved into an apartment (while waiting to build) and I have been missing many of the birds that I used to see in our backyard. But I have had to opportunity to see lots of insects and a bird or two in the surrounding fields. Here are a few examples of insects that I haven’t taken photos of previously.
My husband said that he always called these insects June bugs.
This little butterfly is no larger than 1.5 inches.
I was intrigued by this moth and looked up the ID. It’s called an Imperial moth and it’s unusual to see because the birds usually get to the caterpillars before they have a chance to become adults.
I am learning that even though we don’t have our own yard right now, there is beauty and inspiration all around. If you would like to join these challenges – you can find the info here – https://pilotfishblog.com/2021/08/07/lens-artists-photo-challenge-160-your-inspiration/
I took this photo last fall when spending lots of time at home. It’s 5 sheets of blue paper held together by a binder clip at the bottom. I tweaked the temp slider to give it an overall blue look.

Chalk art outside a local hospital thanking everyone for their hard work during this time. Having worked in the clinical laboratory and health care education during my career – I think this is pretty cool!!
I’ve chosen a yellow sunflower for this week’s topic
