"Whatever" Wednesday - The Park Adventure continued...

Happy Wednesday everyone.  It's a lovely day here (it's not raining!).  I'm going to revisit the Park again in today's "whatever" Wednesday feature.  If you recall I did an edition of WW with Peacock's HERE but I took a lot of pictures that day that I haven't shared so I thought I'd share some of those today.

First up a couple of pictures of a rather unusual visitor at the park.  Normally you see people walking their dogs through the park but how about....a Cat!

A gal had her cat with her on a lease.  His name was I believe, Koda and she said he just loved visiting the park. 
Of course with all those birds enclosed in the Aviary he was very interested in watching them.




























 I snapped this next picture a little later as we caught up with them again looking at some of the other birds.

Do you think this Duck was one of the birds he was watching so intently? - Coleen like the colors of this one.

Later on in the visit Coleen was excited to spot some Bunnies in the bird enclosure where the Peacocks were so snapped a couple of shots of them as well.  These bunnies look (well fed) from the size of them.

Lastly here's a picture of my little granddaughter, Coleen and our dog Cricket, enjoying their trip to the park.

Hope you have enjoyed our little visit to the park.  - Enjoy the rest of your week.

Scavenger Hunt Sunday - April 8, 2012

HAPPY EASTER!

It's time to join Ashley over on Ramblings and Photo's for Scavenger Hunt Sunday. - This weeks prompts were:
New, Life, Fragrant, Pink and Obvious

So let's get started...


NEW:

Coleen's "Granny" bought her this cute little ladybug lawn ornament for her garden so it's a "New" addition to her flower bed this spring.

FRAGRANT:

These Hyacinths are a very "Fragrant" flower and apparently the bees agree!

PINK:

One of the new flowers Coleen planted in her flower bed.  I love that this plant has several shades of "Pink" on it.

OBVIOUS:

Well it's pretty, "Obvious" that this is peeling paint!

LIFE: - I saved this prompt for the last since it's Easter Sunday and I wanted to express to me what "Life" is all about.

As a Christian I believe that Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice by giving up His own life to save mine.

To those who celebrate Easter may it be a glorious day.

Join us next week when the prompts will be:

Simple, Grain, Transportation, Stitch, Bubble(s)



Freaky Friday - What season is this?

If you are here to view my Photo Art Friday post please scroll down 1 post of click HERE:

I just couldn't  resist sharing a how our morning started out here.

                                                                                       

No words are needed for this short video. -

When it snows what do you do if you're a little kid home on Spring Break?

You build a Snowman!

Meet, "Joe" the Snowman

 He needs a hat so Coleen shared hers (for awhile).

Joe is starting to lean...

Joe has "fallen" and he can't get up! Poor Joe.

Oh what season is this again?

Ahhhh SPRING, Daffodils and Sunshine (not so much here lately)!

Photo Art Friday - April 6, 2012

It's PAF time!!! - This week the theme is: feature a macro photo (or a photograph that you have cropped to highlight a close-up part of the image) that you feel qualifies as a piece of art.



I was playing around one day with my camera and spotted a container of Licorice Nibs on the table and decided to take some Macro Photos of them.  - Does anyone else find themselves taking Macro shots of weird things like that?  Anyway I liked the way the photo turned out but thought it would be fun to play around with it using some features on Picnik.

Here is my Original Licorice Nib Shot SOOC - Click to enlarge:

Up first is the Posterize feature on Picnik which I also did in Gimp but liked the Picnik version better.

Next is the Hypnotic effect (I used this a couple of weeks ago and had to try it out again)

Lastly (this one is my favorite) - Infrared - Heat Map 30% and text added.

"Whatever" Wednesday - The Metal Ball Edition

Hello! - Well it's certainly been a Bizarre week here as far as the weather goes.  Yesterday it was 72 outside and the sun was shining.  Today it's about 38 at the moment and it snowed! - I'm telling you this is the weirdest spring I've ever seen here in "Wally World."

So who's up for some Whatever Wednesday photos? - Today I'm sharing some pictures of a large metal ball sculpture located here in town.  I'm not sure what the building is used for but I think it belongs to the Power Company. - They use to have some Hot Pink flags flying from the turrets but the wind blew them down a few weeks ago.  I'm bummed that I didn't get a picture of the building with the flags before the wind blew them down.

Anyhow here they are:
