My Wordless Sunday 2010 - #1

Flowers for Monday

Happy Monday!

Hi my friends,

Thank you all for your kind comments to my post again. I hope you had a great weekend and a good start in this new week :)

Susanne


I have created some pretty CALENDARS 2010 about:

Las Vegas,
Santa Fe,
Key West,
Route 66 and
about my recent travels across America.

I know, they make a wonderful gift to someone you care - or buy one for your self and bring some colors to those gray walls in your office. Thank you in advance!

Back yourself up

It is such a cut throat industry where you get knocked down so much and get rejected so much. If you do not back yourself up, no one else is going to so you really need to learn to get up, shake the sand off your chest and keep going.
Alex O'Loughlin

Hi my friends,

Thanks for all your kind comments, I appreciate every single one! Come back tomorrow too, I'll share "My Wordless Sunday" picture again with you.

It's pretty cold in Florida, we have the heat on the first time and long jeans and jackets. We are not used to temps like that :)

I wish you a wonderful Saturday, see'ya tomorrow!

Crossroads...

There are two ways to go when you hit that crossroads in your life: There is the bad way, when you sort of give up, and then there is the really hard way, when you fight back. I went the hard way and came out of it okay. Now, I'm sitting here and doing great.

Hi my friends,

Where is that: "Wolf Alley" meets "No. 1 Rodeo Rd"...?

That's the moment when you'll be far out somewhere in deep country side.
Actually you'll be in Wyoming, actually you'll be in Aladdin, Wyoming! A little sleepy village where only 15 people are living - yes, 15 only!
Hard to believe, right? :)

I think for myself, it would be a quiet way to remote place in country side.
What about you?

Thank you also for all the kind comments and I wish you a nice weekend with not to much snowfall!

I wish I could see snow again :)

Where will you spend your next vacations?

Your next vacation - here?





It's all emotion. But there's nothing wrong with emotion. When we are in love, we are not rational; we are emotional. When we are on vacation, we are not rational; we are emotional.

Frank Luntz

Hi my friends,



It's well known, Florida is pretty and a beautiful destination for your next vacations :)



Thank you so much for all your nice comments and compliments to my recent posts. You all make my day with your kind words.



I'm sending you all the sunshine from the Sunshine State - there will be still more than enough left for us...*smile...



Have fun - Enjoy your day!

This is my post #1111

Look at this photo: Are we back in time? I have captured this picture somewhere in a off road valley in Utah. I'm wondering where these people are going and what kind of lifestyle do they have? You can photograph a lot of pictures "back in time" like this one is, even in today's modern America! And that was sometimes almost unbelievable, to see that on my recent travels across America.


Hi my friends,

this is my post #1111.... I like the number...*smile*... easy to remember and easy to write.
Thank you for all the kind comments to my last two posts, they are very much appreciated, as always. Come back tomorrow again. Good old friends know by now that there will be "My Wordless Sunday" picture online, right? :)

See you all....?

2 Minutes of Excitement!

Dave and I went down to the beach to see the Launch of the Shuttle at Cape Canaveral and we were not the only one waiting for that spectacular event.

And then... wow, there was the Shuttle already, high up in the sky
before I even could point and focus my camera to the right spot.
I was almost to late with clicking the shutter :)

O.M.G., that was quiet the most exciting 2 minutes in my life - and I almost missed it...LOL...

And a full view of the whole scenery
btw, all the pics are click able to see it a little bit bigger, so you get the idea what I try to show you here :)

Can you see that big white puffy cloud on the horizon? It looks almost like an atomic blast, but that was THE spot where the Shuttle started

And there were also kids, I guess, they don't cared to much about the Shuttle, about space and flying high up to the stars :)



Hi my friends,

It was an experience, it was a very short and intense experience with this space-stuff!
I admit, I was to slow and I have pointed my camera first in the wrong direction.

I'm a newbie...hey.. what's up...? Coming from the "good old country", how the heck should I have photographic experience with catching Shuttles on a digital media? ...LOL...
Anyway, however....there will be more launches coming up next year
and I will be there again and I'll be better, I promise!...LOL...

P.S. if you want to see the REAL pictures, click here

Thanks for all your comments, love you all! :)

And now, back to Earth:
Buy my NEW CALENDARS 2010 - make someone happy for Christmas!

The Grand Tetons in Wyoming

The Grand Tetons National Park in Wyoming

Hi my friends,

The photo of "The Grand Tetons" was made on my recent travel "Across America". I'm still reviewing my many hundreds of photos from my 8 month long travel and I love to remember all the pretty places I have seen during that time. And these majestic mountains are one of those places!

Today at 2.28 p.m. was the launch of the Space Shuttle at Cape Canaveral. David and I went down to the beach to see it from there. Tomorrow, I'll show you some of the pictures I took. Stay with me, come back again tomorrow - here, on the same spot, at the same time...LOL...

Thank you also for all the comments to my photo without words from yesterday, I very much appreciate your words.
Susanne

Ernest Hemingway was a Fisherman...

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl.

Hi my friends,

Weekend is over already and I hope you all had a great start into your new week of work. I'm happy to see you back visiting!

Ask me "why"....

Of course, there will always be those who look only at technique, who ask 'how', while others of a more curious nature will ask 'why'. Personally, I have always preferred inspiration to information.
Man Ray



Hi my friends,
Thank you for all the nice comments and your visits to my blog :)
I agree so much with Man Ray's quote! I'm not that technical photographer, I'm more the intuitive person who sees the little details in my life. Ask me "why" I do my photography this way or the the other way - don't ask me "how" :)

It's amazing how fast time is going bye - Weekend is just around the corner
and I wish you a good one.
Susanne



My NEW CALENDARS 2010 make a great gift for Christmas!

The Twins...

I have no idea what kind of birds they are, but both were looking so friendly into my camera, it was fun to shoot a series with them. I'm sure out there are some bird lovers who can tell me the exact name of "the twins" (I call them so). Do they belong maybe to the family of the Heron birds?

Thank you all so much for the nice comments to my yesterday's post :)

Come back tomorrow, see you here!
Susanne

Hi my friends,

I'm happy! So many of you liked my post from yesterday and made my day with your wonderful comments and compliments, thank you ALL so much!!

One day ago we took a little drive down to Fort Pierce and this photo above was made in the boat harbor there. I love the tropical ambiance in this picture, it reflects for me the feeling of freedom, adventure, quality time on a warm sunny day gliding slowly over the waters and it makes you wish for traveling more, right? :)

I wish you all a sunny day! There will be more photos to come...

I can relax now...

I feel like I've reached an age where I can relax a little bit with the knowledge of what I've been through, take all that experience and use it. I love the challenge of trying to get back to where I've been, and beyond it.
