A friend and I went out for brunch and then I grabbed my camera and we made our way to one of the beautiful local parks. It was a glorious day, sunny and the temperature was in the 60's so I was happy. I've loved the photos I have gotten from this camera, but it is 7 years old now and I've been having some problems with it, and the time for a new one is getting close.
I loved this photo as the water shows all the colors of the plants, flowers, and sky that surrounded this spring fed pond in the reflections. I never noticed it as I was taking the picture, so I was pleasantly surprised when I unloaded them this afternoon to see that the reflections showed up so beautifully. Being a novice can work wonders at times....LOL
Memorial Day is celebrated this weekend here in the United States. Traditional Memorial Day celebrations have diminished over the years, and I think many of us have forgotten the meaning of Memorial Day. I hope we all take the time to remember and honor those that have served our country. 
This is a digital oil painting from a photo I took a couple of weeks ago. I loved the way the trees bent and curved and the goose enjoying the shade, along with all the reflections.
Using another picture from my adventures at the park I went to last week I made this to give credit to Mother Nature for all the beauty we can see everyday. If you're like me, though, I don't always see it...or take the time to appreciate it. :-)
