1.  The last time I posted for WNFF - I posted the photo below and promised to share a closer view of the sculpture so as promised below is a better view.

I really like this sculpture.  There was another one across the street that I'll share another time (got to keep you anticipating)

 

2.  We took a drive over the the Tri-Cities (Pasco, Kennewick, Richland) to a music store last month.  On the way back I spotted a bunch of birds sitting on some rocks on the riverbank.  I spotted a Pelican perched on a large rock and asked hubby to stop so I could get a photo.  It was posing so nicely.  Well just as I got down to where I thought I could get a decent photo the birds all flew off and this is all I got.  (No Pelicans here, just Seagulls).

 

 

It still turned out pretty cool.  The reason the birds flew.....

 

 



 Someone let their dog out...oh that made me mad.

3.  I love the area we live in.  Lots of mountains and fields to visit.  Took this shot of a plowed field while drive up Scenic Loop last week.

 

I found the patterns rather fascinating.

 

4.  I participate in a group called 52 Frames and last week my Purple Cow was chosed as one of the 52 Committee Picks for the weekly theme.  The theme was,  "Purple."  -  Coleen helped me by making me an Oragami Cow.  I was inspired by the little poem:

The Purple Cow

Gelett Burgess

I never saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one,
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I’d rather see than be one!

 



 5.  More deer sightings.  Look at the impressive rack on the Buck.  I sure hope he makes it through hunting season.

 Bonus shot: 

A black and white of part of the Wedding Fountain in Pioneer Park.

 

My music selection today isn't my typical music style.  I was just surprised to learn that one of my favorite Hallmark Actresses (Alicia Witt) is also an accomplished pianist and singer.  I actually like her voice so may have to purchase some of her albums.

 

 



Something funny for FELINE FRIDAY:  (Comedy Plus)

 

 

Can't leave without sharing one of our kitties to:

 

 

 Not the clearest shot but I had to shot quickly before he sucked that little tongue back in!  -  This one is Bandit.

WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE





1.  Spotted in the Sky earlier this week:

Looking forward to the Balloon Stampede in October.

2. Captured a Spider in it's web the other day. - I love that the box it attached it's web to says Fragile Handle With Care.

3.  A Shot of the spray from the fountain on Whitman College Campus.  One of the shots I considered for 52 Frames water theme 2 weeks ago.

 

 

I actually ended up using this shot instead:

 

4.  Some Autumn leaves spotted on the trail at Rooks Park.  I thought they were pretty.

5.  A bunny spotted in Rooks Park - I was able to get pretty darn close to it before it hopped off.  So cute!

Photo Art Friday - September 6, 2013

Can you believe we are already one week into September already!  Time is just going by so quickly.

It's time once again to join Bonnie (Pixel Dust Photo Art) for Photo Art Friday - Which now takes place the 1st Friday of every month unless otherwise stated.

This months theme is:  Water.

I took some photos awhile back of the fountain in our local park (Pioneer Park) and will be sharing them today.

CLICK TO ENLARGE PHOTOS:

First up a Collage of the fountain:

Next up a few close-ups of parts of the fountain.  I did very little editing on these photos.

 

 

Then I played around with cropping sections of the photos and adding a few effects from Pic Monkey and Be Funky

 

 

 

 

Finally a really close-up cropped and probably my favorite of all the photos.

 

Do stop by and check out the gallery.  It's worth it.
