1....10 summer photos to take right now!

i just started one of several on-line photo classes today.....10 summer photos to take right NOW! http://www.bigpicturescrapbooking.com/ 

i already participate in 365 project...a photo a day for 365 days.  http://www.365project.org/  i love following several photographers on their project and have learned so much about taking photos...and such.  the creativity of many out there is amazing and it is very inspiring to find MY own.

the 10 summer photos class...
*** it is completed on a self pace basis...as in complete each assignment as you are inspired.
*** each assignment gives an inspiration....such as what to shoot that represents summer to the student.
*** there is a photo gallery students can upload their photos on to share their progress.
*** the intent is to find beauty and inspiration thru the lens of a camera and assist the "everyday" photographer on improving and creating their own "eye".

thus...

assignment 1...photograph your favorite summer accessory.

favorite summer accessory...

~*flip~*~ flops*~

my worn out basic flip flops are my favorite summer accessory. i love them because they are easy to slip on and can be worn anywhere with anything. i usually keep 2-3 pair...one for puttering around outside...one for public...and one for "back-up" just in case.
 
i am looking forward to posting my progress.

crosby farm park hopping.....

deep, deep, deep into the forest my friends rose (right), kathy (left) and i went....

on a nature walk and park hopping experience.

the forest is lush and dreamy and magical and i really just wanted to lay down in the middle of it and let mother earth hug my lovely~self.

but we kept walking ~~~~>

until we reached the river....the mississippi river to be exact.

my eye wandered ~~~>~>>~~>

i love the rocks pressed in the sand....

the mix of shapes, colors and sizes.

mmmm.....and the sand in itself is dreamy.

we stayed for 2 hours down by the river.

catching up with eachother

enjoying the warmth of the sun,

acknowleging

how grateful we each were

to be our true selves

no illusions...

and

laughing

and

just

being.

no worries..

no cares...

we just

were.

until we WERE

hungry

and had to go eat thai food ~*~*~~
