My Day, My Interests Photo Blog

This week challenge is Landscapes in Color

I am still working on our last year vacation images.  You might want to join.  Check out  AOL Community Photo Challenge.  You can enter for fun or have your image judged.

My entry was taken while we were having dinner in Zion, I looked out the window and I saw a rainbow.  Knowing I would not have time to run outside, it would be gone, I took the image through the window.

A couple weeks ago, Bob and I took a trip to Vermont in search of old barns, covered bridges and scenery.  Unfortunately the weather was overcast most of the trip but still a nice drive.

I found a pretty, simple scenic on the side of road in Windsow, Vermont.

I am very fortunate having readers of my journal from all over the world. (I would enjoy hearing from you). What fun reaching out to everyone, sharing my images of our beautiful state of New Hampshire.
 
Today's images were taken on Newfound Lake in Bristol, NH. I am going to return for more images.  Newfound Lake area is one of my favorite places in NH.

I need wake up early morning for sunrise images...not so easy :).

LESSON LEARNED:  No matter what kind of weather, do not leave home without camera.

Shooting over the weekend was impossible it rained.  I ventured out not taking my camera, OPPS I came across a beautiful shot, clouds, mist, mountains and the lake.

The sun finally appeared near dusk.  I look out of the window and decided to look for a spot to take magic hour/sunset images. The sunset did not last as long as I hoped, a ridges of clouds hide the beautiful end of the sunset.

I found an OLD white birch, with the excellent lighting might work.

For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about "Pajama Photography".  Some my best photography I find when I wake up in the morning, look out the window, grab my camera, shoes or boots in the winter, coat or housecoat over my pj's, run outside and take pictures. 

Today was no different, I ran upstairs (my office in the lower lever of the house) to put a load in the wash machine, looked out on the three season room and saw great morning light filtering on the Stickly Mission rockers.

I ran downstairs (still in my pj's) grabbed the camera and took a couple of pictures.

I would like to know which image you like best :).

One of the back roads we found a scenic  farm and cows.  Riding on a back road in New Hampshire you will find farm scenerys like this image is common. I love New Hampshire :).

Bob and I left the house early and headed up to the White Mountains and North Conway.

Our weather was SUNNY and warm, 72 degrees and a haze on the mountains.  We saw bikers, kayakers and people in shorts...what a great day.

I enjoy gardening, hiking and taking pictures of my flowers and wildflowers.

One of my favorites, are seeing beautiful, colorful flowers with a classy, black backgrounds, matted and framed. Soooooooooooooo guess what I am doing this year, taking flowers with a black back ground.  I have nothing blooming and wildflowers have not popped up.  I practiced with a house plant and floral bouquet my grandchildren sent for my birthday.
