Various 2012 pictures with my new camera

Karen and Kirsten, yes, you should do a show AND/or a book!!!!!

I agree. The pictures are amazing and so are Karen's poems.

Ahh, Karen, so nice... You always seem to capture the essence of my pictures and put it in beautiful words! I think it would really be nice if we could have a book of our pictures and poems... Too bad that it would be so expensive printing it.

It's hard to pick a favorite but I love the one with the ladybug. The waterfall in the woods makes me feel like I'm actually there. Have you ever considered teaching photography?

Ahh, no, no way... That would take much more than the few things I'm doing; actually I know very little about all the technical stuff...

PS: You have quite a handsome nephew

Thanks! I'm glad he's letting me now taking pictures of him (he used to run away from my camera when he was younger). Now I'm planning a photo session with him and his girl friend.

Elegant curves
Sprung from an architect's mind
Clean and graceful arc across the space
Lines in harmony, strong and delicate at once
Capture in a camera's instant
All in harmony, line and tone and form
Purity and elegance only marred by
The inelegant, asymmetrical humans
Arranged between and across lines and spaces
Ironically the ones for whom
And by whom this pristine space
Was deigned to serve
And to impress

Beautiful words to describe the building, Karen! I really like the lines and curves in this picture. But now that I know that it's forbidden in shopping malls to take pictures, I don't think I will ever do that again.


BTW, I ordered a new tele lens today. It's an early birthday/Christmas present. Actually I wanted to wait until December, but when I took pictures with my old tele lens today, I was so unhappy with the outcome that I asked my mom if it's okay to order it now. I hope the new one will be much better!

Cool, we look forward to the results!

I love the picture of Luna as well. I would love to be able to get a picture like that of my cats.
