A Giraffe

It's been a bit of a slow week for the picture-taking, though I do have some great shots from my trip to Maclay Gardens last week.


For You


Yes, again I have a "flower-offering-kind" of photo and if you haven't already figured it out, I adore taking photos of nature! This time my lovely Lotus flower of a mother posed for me. 


Okay and one more for good measure.



A Giraffe


Yep that's a giraffe. (You're welcome)  Just a throw back to my day at Disney's Animal Kingdom.



Well I'm sorry there's not much to post for you today, but I'll be back next week with something, you can count on it! Enjoy you're week and if you're feeling down search pictures of the incredibly real miniature giraffe (they'll exist one day I know it).

Spring!

It's Spring Break so I won't take too much time here! The project is going incredibly well! I had the chance to visit Maclay Gardens today!(It's a beautiful oasis of flowers and other plants)

I captured a TON of awesome photos, here are just a few.(hit up my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/forehandphotography to see more!)


The Giving Tree 




(The name of this picture has little significance to the shot, it just serves to allude to the wonderful children's book) You can thank my lovely sister for posing in this shot for me.(I believe she's made an appearance or two in my photos before)



A QUIET PLACE


Such a pretty bench that looks like a peaceful place to think/read. The gorgeous flowers added the perfect back drop!



TRAIL TO THE POND



A sweet little path to a lake-side pavilion. What could be more perfect? This made the loveliest shot! The bright light from the sun however, seems to have made the lake in the background disappear. 


I hope everyone has a great break, and go outside and enjoy the Spring weather!

MORE MORE MORE & Deliverables!

Wonderful news! The haze has lifted and I come with some fresh new photos that I took just this week! Before we get to those, however, it is also my job to share my Deliverables!


GOAL:

To have taken, and edited, at least thirty six photos by today's date, March 13. I should also have a photo album by now.

REALITY CHECK:

I have a total of thirty-four photos at this moment! So very close! My lack of inspiration recently may have temporarily set me back, but I will achieve my goals by the project's end! I also need to purchase a snazzy album to arrange my photos in.


Now let's get to the meat and potatoes of this post!




SEASON OF GROWTH




I'm going to be completely honest when I say that I found this little flower laying, disconnected from its stem, in the grass. I picked it up and "planted" it in the flower bed at the edge of my porch. It still looks quite lovely, and the green sprouts that surround it perfectly display the season of growth that is upon us.



FLOWER OFFERING




This has to be one of my favorite photos of mine. The same flower from the 'growth' picture, I had my sister delicately hold in her hands. It is as if she says "I offer this golden gift to you". Lovely.





If you are interested in more photos, you can find them on my facebbok page here:



I hope you will go out and enjoy the spring time weather(if you happen to be located in the south <and if not, the snow if something to appreciate!this coming from a Floridian :)>  )!

SAY NO

Well I wonder what this week could have in store for pictures...no I actually am wondering. As I'm typing my computer has decided to refuse every action I command. I'll attempt to find some shots from awhile ago in my email but I can't say it will be in a timely manner.

It has begun to cooperate!



SAY NO



Now I find graffiti to be gorgeous. HOWEVER, I honestly didn't understand what it said until after I took the shot(no really). I may not approve of the message(unless the artist was referring to Tylenol),but I do appreciate the talent and bright green of the little car.
(#saynotodrugs)


Now my computer is beginning to freeze again so I will be leaving you with just the one to satisfy you for the remainder of the week. You should know that I do not yet have my album but I'm close and I'm close to my photo goal and then I will have them developed :D
