Picture-A-Week 2022 - Week 21


 Share

Recommended Posts

Pictures taken between Monday, May 23 and Sunday, May 29

 

Look for something that makes you laugh or amazes you and take a picture!

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Bring Home the "Bacon"

A pair of Ospreys have built a nest on one of the pier pilings of the Old Pier, a historic landmark, off Lake Monroe in Sanford, Florida. 

 

The male caught a fish and was perched on a piling "preparing" it for the family. Here he leaves the piling for home.

Schoooooool's out for summer....schoooooool's out forever! So said Alice cooper in the classic rock anthem from the early '70s. Now as then, school’s is out. That means that Granddaughter Jackie has finished her inaugural year in the world of public education. While her school didn’t have an official graduation ceremony commemorating her successful promotion from kindergarten to first grade, her mother thought that the kindergarten version of a senior photo shoot was a good idea. Darling Daughter knows I’m a sucker for any project that involves computer graphics or photography, so I answered the call Sunday morning and met them at the designated spot. This photo explains why I’m a sucker. Way too cute!
