Another shot from my visit to the zoo on Saturday.  I didn't have any time yesterday to take any pictures.  I am leaving for Ireland on Friday so this is a very busy week for me as I try to wrap up lose ends in work and prepare for the trip.

What a day we had yesterday weather wise.  The temperature hovered around 60 degrees, it was so nice.  All the snow that fell on Monday is quickly disappearing.  I have been eager to give my new 70-300 lens a test run so I headed off to the zoo.  I think even the animals were enjoying the wonderful spring day, they seemed to be more active than usual. I was lucky to catch this cheetah as she was getting ready to settle down for a nap.  She went through her cleaning routine then struck this pose, then curled up and went to sleep. I was surprised at how this well this came out considering it was shot through a filthy glass window.

Bermuda Colors

I love this island, it is so beautiful and colorful, the people are so friendly. We went down to St. George yesterday, outside one of the outdoor restaurants were a few tables with umbrellas that were closed because of the winds.  This is a close up of the different colors of the umbrella.

Have a great day everyone!

"I am indeed a CAT, and this, indeed, is a HAT (The Cat in the Hat)."

This is just a silly picture of my cat.  My daughters hat was lying on the bed and surprisingly Maggie let me put it on her head and take some pictures.

Natures Fireworks

While on a walk yesterday, I came across a pine tree that had been recently sprayed by the underground sprinklers.  The water droplets were hanging from each of the the needles and it reminded me of fireworks in the sky.  I applied the Indian Summer Color Ex Pro filter which brought out these red tones, which transformed the image into what my imagination saw.

March has started off with a roar, a Nor'easter dumped over a foot of snow on us. The storm made for a horrible commute to work.  The plows were out in full force trying to clear the roads.  Hopefully (fingers crossed), this is the last snow storm we will see this winter.

"Multiplicity"

I bought this wall hanging for my daughter.  It's purpose is to hang jewelry on all the various nooks and crannies.  There is a floor lamp close by with three adjustable lamps which I strategically angled to get the desired shadows I was looking for.  I converted this in raw and selected a white balance for fluorescent lights which changed the light blue wall to a soft peachy color, nice  surprising effect.  I finished this off in PS  by applying Topaz Adjust and Simplify for the final image.

The View

Another shot from the scavenger hunt.  This was taken at the Hartwell Tavern, I was inside when I noticed this view.  What a spectacular fall scene, wish that it was a view from my home.

Obviously some pp applied here, love the Topaz filters to help spice up a shot that was otherwise kind of boring.
