Challenge 39

davev

Well, it's rained for what seems like 3 weeks straight here Minn.
I got a couple of pics, but they don't show any dramatic weather.

So I go out today with the camera, and it stops raining.



Taken Monday, the sun was out until I took the camera out of the car.
Just a light sprinkle.

I like the first one. It really matches your avatar.

Smile,

ginger (Your avatar could be mine, and that is an idea. I love your shot, too)

The second photo is a stand out, wish I was there.

Davey, if you get used to me, I have a personal prejudice against green. It is not catching. Lynn used it all the time and made the finals many times with it. It is my own hang up.

I personally think the second one is too easy. That is just my opinion and doesn't mean a thing as I have not tried one like that, though I do have a bridge.

If you are going to use it, I, personally I would, I do, I don't know about others. I would clean up the water. At least you could do one of each, clean water and bugs. See which one you like best.

just my suggestions.

Davey, notice my avatar change.

I did more, too. This actually looked the best, one was too big, never got to the other.

I was going to the egrets. I just realized the fear I might feel all alone there after the park is closed. Can't take a dog and shoot: gators.........
I don't know what to do about that.

Thanks Sandy.

In Minneapolis, this creek (Minnehaha) run from Lake Nokomis to the Mississippi
river. All along the way there are small bridges and walkways like this.
Minneapolis has a path system called the Grand Rounds that has 50 miles
of bike paths and the such. It's really nice. I wish Saint Paul (where I live)
would do more for the parks.

Hey Ginger.

After a long (7 month) winter of just seeing monotone colors through the
window, green looks really good. Any color looks really good.

I can't clean up the water, that's the part for the challenge. It's the rain
hitting the creek. Not to many bugs out here yet. They only show up on
warm days. Those have been far and few between so far this spring.

The new avatar looks good. I see you had to "one up" me by having two
birds to my one.

Thanks for looking.

How about this one.

Windy

Yes, that a bird clinging to the tree. 25 mph gusts today.

Sandy

The photo shows the wind blowing the tree, I didn't even notice the bird. Great shot.

Windy is the best of the 3, it shows most defined weather, a nice bit of action going on. Closely followed by the bridge, no clear weather theme but it does show a pleasant day at a nice spot.

Thanks Sandy, Adrian.

This is a tough challenge.
