Photo of the day - June 2007

Sunset over the lake after the storm. Taken in Madison, WI
(I've never seen anything quite like this before)

June 4
An attempt at LPS #6 (curvy). The mist was clearing rather rapidly.
June 4 (photo 2)
Another attempt at LPS #6 (angular?) I kinda liked the hazy - blue look. Feels lonely.
June 4 (photo 3)
Yet another photo of the mist...I wish the challenge were 'misty' instead of curvy...sigh.

Good ol' Abe

Fallen leaf
An earlier photo (didn't get around to shooting anything of interest yesterday) :(
June 7
Paper abstracts
Trying new ideas for LPS 6...any suggestions for improvement?
June 8
Abstraction
Okay, so I played some more with my abstracts and liked this one the most. Am thinking of entering it as my entry for LPS 6. There's more at:

Thanks Vandana, Gail and Gefillmore for your comments and suggestions! :-)

Scarf for Thanasis
I know, I know, it's summer ...but I bought a ton of wool in the Spring when my mother was visiting hoping she would knit stuff for me (:P) and then she had to leave suddenly, so I'm trying to figure it out on my own.
Got to finish this in the next three weeks before we leave for Italy. Yay!
June 10
The other side of the fence
There was a man sitting on the bench for a long time buried in his newspaper - couldn't get a better angle of him without the fence (it's actually a horse-training area?!). Maybe it lends a new dimension...
June 11
Waiting for Gobli
Avantika (my niece) hugging her sibling-to-be. The baby is due any day now! Gobli is her name for the baby.
June 12
She's here!
Sahana

Last day at the hospital.
Sahana goes home tomorrow. Avantika, I think, will be very relieved to have her mom back at home.
June 14
Beat up truck
Saw this in the parking lot. The photo looks too centered, though, doesn't it? :(
June 15
Golden Alexander (Zizia Aptera) (or so I think)
I know, too many distracting elements - but it is a small shrub and whichever way I tried to shoot, there was either a lamppost, car, or something in the picture. Didn't have time to reshoot. - sigh!
June 16
Sibling love
Avantika still getting used to Sahana. She's excited about small things like Sahana's feet on her lap, Sahana looking at her, changing the baby's diaper etc. It took a bit of coaxing to get her to give the little one a kiss (and hold it long enough that I could capture it!)

Struggling to cope
I've often wondered about this tree - It's been like this for several months now, despite losing one side of its branches. Seems like quite a fighter. I suspect it will be taken down soon, though. Poor thing.
June 22
Planning, planning
Running behind by three days :( I am so excited but equally stressed! We leave in two weeks for the whole summer (at least) and I am still figuring out our weekend plans in Italy. T has been so busy, it's been up to me to figure out most everything! At least, this way I get to decide where and when :-)) Oh, that scenic byways guide somehow sneaked its way into the pile!
p.s.: Will catch up with the missing photos soon!
June 23
Evening light
I walk by this tree every evening on my way to the parking lot. If not for the lamp posts all around it, it would make for a lovely lonely tree shot!
June 24
Bales of hay and a sunset!
Well, of sorts... (the sunset i.e.) We drove up to Sugarloaf Mountain to catch the sunset, and at this hour, the best vantage point is what you see. Had to stay in the car for this photo, as the dogs on the nearby farms raced out to shoo us off...
June 25
Glee
Need I say more? ;-)
Wanted to enter this for the LPS, but there already was one similar idea and didn't want to seem like a copy-cat - though I had been waitng all week to get a chance to shoot something like this. Oh, well...
June 26
Two sisters
Avantika was happy to hold Sahana, but only for a minute!

Flower power
Not the best angle, but most others had lost some if not all of their petals...
