Hillsborough River Tampa, same river as the image I entered except this is digital and the other is 120 film.
If I can remember, I think I shot this with a Canon 5-D and a Canon 300mm 2.8.

I thought about honoring Tennessee River turtles (probably with the last one)--
or maybe a different heron shot? If my husband hadn't intervened this could have been the entry:
Or the fall pelican migration
Like I said, I have a lot of Tennessee River photos. Haven't scratched the surface, which is why I just told my husband to pick a favorite.

(22,380 posts)tweedle dee and tweedle dum back to back turtles. I would have been forced to vote for it.
But your stalking heron with the sun delineating his gorgeous neck: that's my choice for the entry.
It's a beautiful photograph, also the ground he is walking over is very pleasing.
Phenomenal, really.

(22,380 posts)I considered this seriously. I thought it really fit the theme, and he looks happy, though I remember asking him, and he said he was not.

I spend most of the time there in the creek, because I am not always up for the adventure of the river. You never know what you will see there. That was a particularly nutty day.

This is on what we call "The Point" in Mattawa - facing the Ottawa River, Quebec in the background
You can see the three crosses on the mountain on the Quebec side I mentioned in my submission for this month's contest
yeah,
I LIKE where I'm living
I chose to retire her over a decade ago - originally visited Mattawa first in 1980
Beautiful country, lots of old logging roads to go exploring, camping, fishing -- yuppers, "away from it all" so to speak.

(17,087 posts)I like this one, but it's a beach near Arcata, CA. I thought it was stretching the theme too much.
Mira
(22,380 posts)It has everything to capture the imagination and your interest.

(17,087 posts)I remember being perturbed that the couple were in my shot when I took it. After looking at it last night, I see I was wrong. Lesson learned.

(22,380 posts)You are getting more and more "with it".
that of course refers to the old adage: I don't know anything about art but I know what I like.

(22,757 posts)are taken as we are zooming down the road... I lament all the good ones I miss (and the fact that I have to just keep my camera on auto )
this is one I like but the river is under me (as we cross the bridge)
I missed all the great alligator shots as we drove through the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge along the Creole Nature Trail....
the tugs I posted seem so much darker on the DU site (something seems to be lost in translation...) I altered this one significantly...
...and this is how I feel about art...

And the quote about ART has been sent to my family members and also to a friend of mine who teaches visual art and design at an art school. I think it will be widely seen, and thank you for it.
