Lens-Artists Photo Challenge # 191 Curves

Ann-Christine thought we would find more examples of curves: funny, beautiful, unusual – roads, paths, art, architecture, animals, plants – anything that interests you. Because, curves are everywhere around us. And she is correct.

Visiting my brother-in-law’s AMPG factory in Indianapolis, Indiana
I liked the way the curve of a concrete table played upon the dark, rocky background
An amusing look at machinery. Do you see what I mean?
I visit many farms in Yolo county. Rusting equipment always capture my imagination
Here is another curvy image.

Nature presents many opportunities to see curves. One of my favorite curves is the “S” curve.

This abandoned behive shows off some curves.
This spectacular maze is found at The Getty, a place I would like to revisit.

Enjoying the coastline curves at Laguna Beach, the rocky coast of Northern California or on the Island of Kauai

Where ever the road may take you.
A rural pathway
A bannister at the Crocker Art Museum
A close look at a piece of art reveals curves.
And finally, this flamingo at the San Diego Zoo has perfected the “S” curve!

Keep looking for curves. It makes for amazing photography. Curves make the world go round.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #147 Gardens

This week the Amy challenges us to share the beauty of gardens. I felt drawn to the peace I find while walking through our local gardens. I enjoy looking for the details I find, and thought this would be the perfect time to bring out my macro lens. This is problematic when the forcast for the weekend shows up with the wind icon. So I look back on my library of images.

McKinley Park Rose Garden sure puts on a colorful show.

McKinley Rose Garden provides a place of peace in busy Sacramento.

The Getty Center in Los Angeles is absolutely amazing. The garden as an art form. These images are just a tiny piece of what you can experience. CoVid 19 has closed this from the public, but it looks like there will be a reopening soon.

A fountain, a maze, a focal point, a garden. Wow!

Mendecino Coast Botanical Garden located in Fort Bragg. The garden is located right on the coast. Location, location, location.

The website describes this place as, “47 acres of botanical bliss fronting the Pacific Ocean”.
The coastal waves call to me.

Once again I thank you LAPC for helping me review places I have visited, and once again appreciate the beauty I felt when I took these photographs.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #141 Geometry

In this week’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #141:  Geometry Patti invites me to share images that feature geometric shapes.  I am having so much fun looking through my library of images, and trying to remember the correct geometry names.

I photograph hearts in nature! I see hearts everywhere. Do you?

  • Shadow Heart!

Hearts decorate our lives.

  • Complementary colored shaped jello
  • Half Moon Bay beach art

Circles around me in Bodie California.

Curves are interesting to follow.

Yosemite National Park and Mirror Lake provided me with this image.

Reflection on Mirror Lake complete this quadrangle.

I enjoyed looking through my archive to find some geometry terms. I hope that when you are out and about you look a little bit deeper and see some shapes also.
