Canines in the Mist



I awoke to a foggy morning - not unheard of here, but most unusual, especially at this time of year. I decided to experiment with my "new to me" camera, a Canon PowerShot A80.

Some of the photos ended up being pretty good, and some are just plain odd.

I started off attempting to take a photo of a pretty little magenta flower, and this is what I got:

"Bargello"


In my view, fiddling with the knobs didn't really improve things much. Keep in mind this is the same flower I'd just taken a picture of:

"Coloring book flower"











The camera seemed to have a bit of trouble deciding how dark and how light to make its subject. Here are two views of the foggy landscape:

"Trees in the Mist 1"





and "Trees in the Mist 2"






A beautiful, dew-laden spiderweb caught my eye. The camera sure put a different spin on it. I kind of like the camera's version of this one:


"Psychedelic Spiderweb"



Of course, I have to throw in a fun picture of the dogs. They were having such a great time!

"JoLee Shaking"



Dew on the Grass - two versions:

"Dew 1"




"Dew 2"




And here's my favorite kind of photo - no matter how awful it turns out:

"You coming?"
