Walking Challenge

When I take walks around the neighborhood, I like to challenge myself to photograph things I see along the way that I didn’t notice the last time I walked.  I use my camera or cell phone, whichever I have with me.  These were taken and edited with my phone.  It it an exercise in seeing.  I challenge YOU to try the same.  Try not to repeat what you photographed earlier, unless it looks significantly different.

Cool Poodle with her Shades

Our toy poodle has really bad cataracts and is going blind.  She is scared by bright sunlight, so I bought her these stylish sunglasses to protect her eyes from the sharp light.  She does look cute in them.

I love photographing pets and senior dogs are special.

New dog friends Lacee and Addison

While walking in my neighborhood I met some neighbors playing with their dogs in the water.  So cute.  They were sure having fun in the cold water.

Rehoboth Beach on March 24, 2019

Sunrise in Rehoboth Beach, DE.  

We visited Rehoboth Beach for the Coastal Camera Club Beach Bash photography conference.  I took a few photos around the pretty Boardwalk Plaza, a Victorian style hotel we stayed at next door.  They have an amazing heated soaking pool and an elegant restaurant called Victoria's. 

Actually a large jacuzzi that escapes to the boards outside in nicer weather.

 Victoria's restaurant.  

 Complete with my favorite Stargazer Lilies.  Heavenly scented.

 The local sun conure, Emro, that "helps" at the front desk.
