Photo Hunt #87: Bubbles

I knew exactly what to post when the theme of bubbles came up some weeks ago.  With this post I go back to the trip to Europe, back to Barcelona’s Guell Park.  The park has wonderful and fanciful architecture, buskers, headless man, tiled bench that wrapped around 3/4 of the park, and of course Bubbles Man, who commanded attention and kept people watching and shooting.

Go outdoors, the sun is shining, the breeze is pleasant, make bubbles.  When was the last time you blow bubbles in one hand and lick an ice cream cone in another? 

Go hunting with players at PHOTO HUNT, hosted by Ms Tnchick.

Sky Watch #94: I am a cloud junkie!

When our European cruise was over and the last leg of the trip was underway, I thought that my camera would be taking a much needed break for that 10 something hour flight from Amsterdam (we flew out of Schiphol Airport) to SFO.  How wrong was I.  The clouds above Amsterdam were just too beautiful to not photograph.  Here are three of the shots I took as we were cruising above the clouds on that November 2009 day.

Photo Hunt #86: Sparkle

When friends get together for a dinner to celebrate one’s birthday, the conversation is sparkling.

Friends, food, and sparkling conversation would make for a very long dinner – but who cares, right?  You don’t believe that they have sparkling conversation?  Well listen to the video then.

Window Views and Doors Too #24:

 

A few weeks ago we attended a wedding in Alameda.  The wedding was held at Christ Episcopal Church.  I found the doors of the church with all the red squares particularly attractive.  Also the high glass windows allow for natural light to come in.

Coming out the door for the first time as husband and wife.  The newlyweds did not know I was posting this image.

WINDOW VIEWS AND DOORS TOO is hosted by Teach Mary.  Go and visit.
