Dancing in triumph…

Ah! Finally, the last day of photo 101. I believe I will miss this course, and I am glad that I survived it.

For several reasons, this month has been a hectic one for me and each day was really a case of mind over matter in order to get things done. A lot is left trailing behind and have to be attended to in this month of April.

I totally doff my cap to professional photographers that bring you the fabulous photos that you get to enjoy.

For today’s prompt ‘triumph and contrast’ my mind went to so many things. Music, little beginnings, and closures. For me, triumph comes from satisfaction over little things around me, such as getting my exercise done makes me dance and feel on top of things 🙂

I love Sunsets. They spell beautiful, serenity, closure, triumph and so much more.

: My dear husband’s hand raised in triumph. He just won the hand of his beloved jewel 😉

: Catching the tale end of 2014 fireworks. I felt a particular bliss of new beginnings.

: A 60 year anniversary celebration

: Capturing this sunset caught between the building

: Persuading my children to ride a Camel.

: They were frightened.

: Now they ride with laughter

: Another beautiful sunset

: Satisfying performance

: These ladies agreed to share their moments of triumph with me after their race.

: The young man’s joy when he scored made me happy.

: Another sunset.

Pairing Them Up…

The Photo 101 course is drawing to a close this weekend. Phew! It’s been fun, but hectic too.

Well, today’s theme is to ‘double and rotate’ so I serve you my takes below.

Regards,

Jacqueline

Getting the edges aligned. ..

Today’s photo 101 prompt has been my least favourite so far. Not quite sure why, except that I really don’t like tweaking pictures around and altering them so much, so I had to really search hard for pictures.

I always prefer things looking as natural as possible, except where unavoidable, and I am glad that I didn’t have to manipulate these ones asides from giving them an edge 🙂

Peeking and Clicking…

I honestly can’t claim that I have a fair idea of what I’m doing. In fact, I would be lying if I claimed to know. I am just having fun with today’s assignment since I am out all day with my troop.

According to today’s photo 101 prompt ‘Glass, Squared,’ we are to incorporate glass in today’s image: a window, a mirror, a wine glass, sunglasses or something else. It doesn’t matter what form the glass takes.

So here I go tinkering and peeking in or out.

: Looking out and taking the picture trying to incorporate the window.

: Out and about. The day looks friendly through my windshied.

: Mirrored reflection

: My fave flower shop

: Looking up at the see-thru glass ceiling.

: Munching

: I like the Giraffe on the glass

: Couldn’t resist watching the TV from outside 😉

: Watching the workmen

: Another view through the window.

: Lovely decorative pieces

: A view taken while looking up at the mirror in the lift.

My Life’s Treasures…personal

Mar28

Feeling lazy from yesterday’s indulgence, and with the bunnies still hopping around in my tummy, I am so thankful that I don’t have to traipse off looking for precise photo shoots this morning.

The photo 101 prompt asking us to show our treasure and close up, makes it a bit easy today. I am just going to clip on some photos of my treasures in here.

They are absolutely the very best blessings that life brought me 🙂

There is nothing else in the entire Universe, that I can translate into what these beautiful one’s mean to me.

Thank you very much. Now back to some snooze. Life is a bit on the slow lane 😉

Rolling fields and Sandy banks…

Today’s Photo 101 theme is landscape and cropping where nature is our main subject, or a sweeping panorama of an entire city, town or industrial area.

A few shots were taken during this morning’s walk-about and many are from the previous week.
