Image of the Week - January 11 to 17, 2016

I am glad you are here with me on my trip through the gallery. I bring to your attention a few posts that speak to me.


Corfe Castle overlooking Studland, Dorset by tourerjim


tourerjim has merged images to make a delightful scene with the silhouetted foreground framing the magnificent castle. Take a look at the wide range of talent on his flickr photostream. You are having way, way too much fun and are making me jealous! In fact, my New Year's resolution is to play with my photos that are gathering dust on my hard drive.


Dandelion by juliab

juliab has a new lens! Yes, I knew you would be here in the gallery with proof of it. One day I may just try to find a dandelion worth photographing. I might even take a minute to look at the beauty of the much maligned plant before I turn my eyes to the ones in the lawn and tell them to be gone! along with the crabgrass.


Mission by Sepiana

Sepiana, I am fascinated with missions.... I have images of the missions on the California El Camino Real, as well as some of the far older ones on the El Camino Real from Mexico City to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Oh yes, the Texas missions are included. One summer I visited some of those missions and fell in love with them. Now i can include this image in my mind.

Anna's Hummingbird by angelag

angelag: Oh, how I wish my skills included bird photography. One day I sat at my tripod, camera ready, remote in hand, waiting for the hummer to come to the patio feeder. Though my camera was outfitted with a splendid borrowed lens, the camera speed did not come up to speed.... I got a few keepers but nothing I would hang on my wall. So thanks for the memory of that hot day on the patio.



I am glad you came along with me on my journey into the past, and along with Bob Hope, I can say "thanks for the memories of time lost, time past".
