Some of my favorite photos
I am at the stage of life where how I spend my time is my treasure. These are the areas where I like to spend the majority of my treasure of time
In nature taking pictures
At the beach
With family
And with my goofy husband of almost 50 years this September (check out the t-shirt)

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.

This week on CFFC the topic is Ground: sand, dirt, paths, walks, trails, roads, etc. There are some places where you have to make your own path.

This week’s challenge is comparing photos that are color and converted to black and white. The first 2 photos were taken at the beach last month. I am a fan of beach photos in b/w or sepia.
The next ones are of a plant. My preference on this one is the color but the b/w brings out the detail nicely.

For this week’s challenge, we are invited by Ana – https://anvicaphotos.wordpress.com/posts/ – to share photos depicting this theme. I have to admit that I do not get up often for sunrises. Here are a few of my favorites:
Early morning surf session
Beach walker
Sunrise service on the pier
Cloudy and colorful sunrise

This boat was shipwrecked on the beach in 2013. According to this article – https://islandfreepress.org/outer-banks-news/11112013-shipwreckedsailboatsonpeaislandaredrawingthecurious/ – the owner tried to rescue it. Since this picture was taken in 2017 – I’m going to assume the owner gave up
This week we are asked to share photos that depict a quiet moment in our lives. One of my favorite places to go is the beaches on Hatteras Island. Even in the summer – these beaches do not get crowded.
I also love the quiet of the morning where I can go around my yard with my camera and coffee and look for insects to photograph.
We are fortunate to live on a neighborhood lake where we can sit and enjoy the waterfowl go by and hear birds chirping all around us. It’s a huge reason why we have not sold a house that has grown too big for us.

Tina has invited us to share our photo interpretations of all wet. The first one is my husband on the verge of wiping out. Even though he is already wet from surfing, the wave will hit with some force pushing him off the board and into the water below.
Next is a robin having an awesome time taking a bath.
Last is one of my favorite shore birds getting ready to take the plunge into the sea.

Cee asked us to choose items from a picture this week to represent in photos. I chose fishing. Here are 2 photos showing different methods of fishing. Both of these were taken on Hatteras Island, NC.
