Day 309 - Glass Whirl

Day 308 - Loop 360 Celebrates the Season

Loop 360 is a very scenic road around Austin.  Along the road are some evergreen trees which people sneak out to decorate every Christmas.  It makes me smile.  I saw my first one today so I thought I would share.  I am including a picture from the road that I took this weekend as well.

Day 307 - Austin Morning Special

On my way home from the airport this morning, the sky was just spectacular at sunrise.  I took this shot from the observation area off of Loop 360 in Austin overlooking the downtown.  If you look closely on the left, you can see the dome of the Capitol building and on the right is the Frost Tower.

In Response to the Daily Shoot Prompt,  "The dictionary defines a vista as a pleasing view. Make a photo of a vista that pleases you today. "

Day 306 - High Five for those that Serve

Went to the Chuy's Parade today.  When the National Guardsmen came by, everyone started clapping.  A little boy sitting on the curb reached out to high-five one of the men in uniform.  I liked the moment.  Thanks to everyone in uniform that is serving our country and may be away from home for the holidays.

Day 305 - Go Ahead and Jump!

Lunch at Southside BBQ then to the Christmas Tree Farm in Elgin to cut our Christmas Tree.
Best tradition ever!

Day 304 - Reflect and be Thankful

Sit and take some time today to reflect on all those people and things (positive or negative) that make you who you are. Be thankful.  Mom & Dad, miss being with you today.  Thanks for always making a big deal about holidays when I was young! 

These shots were taken in the park before the expected cold front. 

Day 303 - Holiday Flights

Glad I am home..but safe travels to all of you who are traveling!  Little tough with the Bokeh kit tonight with my new camera especially without my remote shutter and tripod...but I will get better

Took this as a result of the Daily Shoot Prompt, "!Illustrate the process or thought of traveling today, possibly by documenting your own travels."

Day 302 - White Mask

From Daily Shoot Prompt:

 "Go white on white today. Make a photograph of a white subject on a white background."

Day 301 - Hidden Bugs

So, this flower is the first thing I saw when I jumped out of my car at the lake today...didn't see the "bugs" until I downloaded the pictures (may want to enlarge the picture to see).  I love surprises!

Day 300 - Different Day, Different Song

 

Early morning at Zilker Gardens working on weekend photo challenges:

BROWN, VIVID, and BRICK

Liked this bird photo a lot this morning.  I think it will do for BROWN...but will post those results in my JUST SHOOT ME PhotoBlog

Day 299 - Unremarkable

No computer, and the only pictures are from my iPhone.  Today was just cleaning, cooking..and laundry for everyone.  No fun.  Not much of a Saturday.  Hard to believe it is this time in the evening and don't know where the day has gone.

Time to write this day off early and hope for a better tomorrow.  Day 299 was unfortunately unremarkable.
