OT: Favorite Non Cruise Photograph

[TexasJam]

Love the Washington state picture!

 

I have a Canon Powershot S2. It was brand new when I took the Oregon pictures, set on auto. I have since learned to use the various other settings. :rolleyes:

 

I am thinking about upgrading to the Canon SX10 before my trip to Alaska next year. Watching for a Christmas sale.

 

Here are some Texas pictures this past summer:

 

 

 

I love traveling our beautiful country and Canada taking pictures.

Your pictures are beautiful. You have a good eye for composition.

 

I have a good friend who just upgraded from the S2 to the S5 and is very pleased with it. I have a Canon G9 and like it but wish that I had the extra zoom that the S series cameras have. All my Alaska pictures this year were taken with it. I could sure have used the big zoom then.

Nice pictures folks. We do have some good photographers here.

 

A turkey at graduation? An omen? :rolleyes:

Thanks guys for your complements.

 

I love taking pictures, planning trips to take pictures, or looking at everyone else's pictures.

 

Mom & I had dungeness crab for the first time on our Oregon trip. YUM! Who would want the pitiful, small blue crabs we have in Texas now? We also developed a fondness for Rainier cherries, Tillamook ice cream (huckleberry), and Tillamook cheese. Which is a sin in Texas, because everyone loves Blue Bell ice cream here.

Did anyone in their childhood read Misty of Chincoteague by Marguerite Henry? Chincoteague is a real place, and I am fortunate to live about 40 minutes from there. Barely separated from Chincoteague Island is Assateague Island which is co-owned by Maryland and Virginia. This is where the ponies live described in the book.

 

This picture (sans ponies) is so typical of Assateague Island. I hope you enjoy its serenity.

Beautiful island photo!

 

I want to see fall foliage pictures from everyone. Here in Texas, foliage may change around Thanksgiving or the leaves may just fall off. :confused:

 

So, let me see your leaf pictures.

Wow, your photos are just awesome. The Oregon coast is one place DH and I have not been but want to go. After looking at your photos.....I want to go NOW. Marian

[TexasJam]

Thanks for the complements about my Oregon pictures.

 

If you like those, just wait until you see the pictures from my trip to Washington state / Victoria during April. Will try to post some of those tomorrow night.

 

Family work day tomorrow at our beach house on Bolivar Pennisula, which was devastated last month by hurricane Ike.

 

Here is a link to my pictures on our first trip down after the storm:

I agree with you BldLvr. These photos want to make me make plans and pack my bags. The photos every single one are so beautiful they should be enlarged and displayed in the living room or hallway. They are just too beauitful to be put into a photo album. Thanks for sharing them TexasJam :D :D :D

Sorry about your beach house and the destruction Ike brought on everyone in Texas. :( I do look forward to your Washington state photos. :D I know you won't disappoint. I'll be checking out your webshots link and I wish you the very best. Till next time, just be safe.

I just love that lighthouse photo. Really beautiful. :D I too had Dungess crabs on my cruise to Alaska back in 2006. Very tasty. I toolove taking pictures, going places to take pictures and viewing everyone else pictures. :)

 

Nice pictures folks. We do have some good photographers here.

Jamie, that Canon Powershot 52 takes really amazing pictures. I take my photos on auto too still have to learn how to fully use my Nikon D80. My very first camera that I bought with my own money was a Canon AE1 back in 1978. :eek: OMG that was so long ago. I just love the flowers and nature photos.

 

 

This is a panorama shot from the top of Steptoe Butte in Eastern Washington state:

 

 

Pretty country we have here!

Dave, Just Beautiful!! Makes my want to add Washington State on my list of places to see before I'm old & gray. :p

 

udynorth, Love the fall pictures in Williamsburg. You should frame that picture and hang it up in your living room. ITA with mnbruce "What a incredible collection of images! Too many great ones to comment on individual ones." Love the duck one mnbruce.

 

valancy1, Love your photos too. Thanks for sharing. Just love seeing everyones photos. We should open up a gallery because some of these photos are just so amazing.!!

As promised, here are a couple of pictures from our trip this year:

 

 

 

Took a girls only trip in April with my mom and best friend Kay.

 

From Seattle, we spent a couple of days in each of the following: Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, Victoria BC / Butchart Gardens, Olympic National Park, and Whidbey Island / Meerkerk Gardens.

 

Some of the most beautiful spring flowers I have ever seen.

And this shows that all the eagles aren't in Alaska. Some are in the middle of the James River in VA:
