Ok...here I am again...It has been the longest, most terrible spring here in NS and everyone, including me, is ready for summer weather...then we'll all join our voices together and complain about the heat and the humidity!!!  Well at least it will be a change and they say ('they' being the old folks, of whom I have become a part) 'A change is as good as a rest' !!!
Life goes on and so does the photography.
Always watching...keeps me alert to the changes in the landscape, the subtle differences in the plumage of the backyard birds, and the gorgeous native flowers that we are blessed with here in NS.
I will share a few images with you at this posting and hope you like them...you don't have to click 'like', or anything 'like' that, just plain old-fashioned 'LIKE' them - or don't 'like' them.

But what's not to 'like' I ask?

Nature and NS surroundings in general are all there for our enjoyment and yes our amusement...so enjoy the out-of-doors and everything you do in the next two months...It will be here and gone in a flash...📷

So, that's it for me for this post...hope you enjoy the pics...

I wish you all a wonderful summer filled with family and friends..."Lots of fun stuff!"

Treasure the memories while they are being created...

AND take lots of pictures to remember them long afterward...Viki

March 2013 Already !

I continue to think I am the worst Blogger ever.  I simply never think to put anything on here!

Not that I don't have images....my goodness, I have images coming out of my ears for heaven's sake...

Let me begin with the image I made this year for my friend, Cathy to send for International Women's Day 2013...Check out the official site and start planning how you will celebrate the women in your lives on March the 8th 2014.  

The Photographic Guild of Nova Scotia is my home club when it comes to Photographic interests.  I compete with PGNS and also from time to time with a second club, the St Louis Camera Club.  I also belong to the Carolinas Nature Photography Association.  I am also a member of CAPA, Canadian Association for Photographic Art.  I belong to the Photographic Society of America, serving on a couple of 'committees' and I compete in international competitions recognized by PSA. ...On the PSA website you can find a group of 18 images (of hundreds to date) I have used in those competitions.  The URL is http://psa-photo.smugmug.com/Member-Portfolios/Viki-Gaul/23698325_pN7NW2#!i=1918385520&k=Hpqz5zk 

For a fun activity NS Photo Guild Members were asked to bring a brown paper bag with items to photograph and bring back the results a couple of weeks later.  In the bag I brought home, I found Gumby and Pokey...The following image is one I made on my cell phone in a program that makes collages...with a little Photoshop work done to create this final result.  Does this bring back memories? Careful you might date yourself!

Ok so now I want to add a little bit of Nature to this blog... I love all the photography I do and so you can imagine how hard it is somedays to stick with one subject and not want to play with another.  From Family photos, to birds in the backyard, nature, botanical, scenery, and capturing happenings on the shores of this beautiful province.  The list goes on and on.  

And the "NATURE" images I will share are these...Apes from the zoo...Spoonbill from Florida and a Baby Raccoon from my backyard (in close proximity to my backyard!)

Photography is the neatest hobby ever...I do love it!

I guess that is stating the obvious...hahaha!

So till the next time.

I'll be thinking about what to share in the next edition/addition..

Till Then my friends, "Take care!"
