Photo Contest #16 NEW RULES, please read.

[Toadie]

I like the Cosmos that Gordiesgirl has posted.. Here is my first submissions. I have another week with a lot of time on my hand before I get to go back to work so I thought I would give this a try.

The first one I saw this beside a fence post and took a photo of it.. The entire picture had a green cast to it so I played with the enhancement and this is what turned out. The second one caught my wife's attention and she got picture of it and I added the border and all. It has a heart shaped prickly pear leaf in it that is really unusual. The smaller pictures are harder to really see so I added two links to the bigger ones I have uploaded to my snapfish account. Not much size difference but does show a difference in the quality.

Here is my third submission for the PC #16

I have no idea what they are. They were growing beside a fence and looked nice so my wife and I took a photo of them.

We decided to photograph the wild flowers in our area and see what turns out looking good. Neither of us really have any photographic experience and most photographs we take are not staged, but rather "spur of the moment" photographs.

My favorite subject to photograph is windmills. My avatar is a windmill outside of White Settlement, TX right at the intersection of White Settlement Road and Cattle Baron Road, across the field. It was taken with my digital camcorder, which also has a still shot option, from the side of the road one evening and is one of my favorites.

By the way, Crystal took this picture.. It is off of Silver Creek/Azle Road.
