The Daily Pic - Look Up

I took this picture on September 22, 2011 in Melbourne, Florida.  I really liked the vertical perspective.  Leave a comment and let me know what you think!  :)

The Daily Pic - Best Graffiti Ever!

I'm not typically a fan of the defacing of structures with graffiti....but I'm ok with this example!

The Daily Pic - A Beautiful Door

An old, beautiful, heavy, carved wooden door....It makes me wonder, how many people have passed through this door?  How many hands have knocked?  How many storms has this old door weathered?

A door.  A work of art.

Around Town - Baldwin Park 5

I love this top picture!  It's one of my absolute favorites that I took while in Baldwin Park, last week.  At the rate I've been going, there was a distinct possibility that by the time I got around to sharing all of my pictures from that day, that I might have a while new bunch to share....so, I decided to make today's post a long one and to include all of my additional Baldwin Park pictures...at least until I take more.  Hope you enjoy!

Some sort of grass....it's either getting ready to flower or going to seed.

Framed by the fence...

I love the dark blue color of the water in this picture...

and the fact that you can see a full reflecting of the reeds growing along the edge.

I should really save these next two pictures until I hear of a photo challenge with the topic of "Green"...

but I'm not going to.

The unique bark on these trees caught my eye...and made for some pretty nice pictures!

Resident's decorating their homes for the upcoming holiday!

A pretty path...

Neighbors....one house invokes images of Americana...while next door I am transported to the Mediteranean.

I love the stark contrast of the branches against the sky.

It's all about perspective...from one point of view, the tree branches provide an arial border to the walking path...and from another point of view, they provide a natural frame to this post-card perfect home.

And there we have it....say good-bye to posts about Baldwin Park...at least for the time being!  :)

Round Robin Photo Challenge: BIG

The Challenge: Size is relative, so you've got a large amount of leeway on this!  Maybe it's something larger than life, like a fifty foot statue of a small bird. Maybe it's an extra large example of whatever it is: the biggest cat you've ever seen, a pumpkin big enough for Cinderella to ride in, or a 10,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. Whatever you chose to photograph, the Challenge will be to impress the view with how BIG it looks in the picture!

BIG: Photo 1

I have lived in Florida for over 5 years now, and this is by far the largest Palm tree that I have ever seen!  Look at how it as at least 2x taller than the large Oak tree behind the house.  This picture was taken June 17, 2011, at Lake Underhill Park in Orlando, Florida.





BIG: Photo 2
