For this week’s Picture Perfect Tuesday: The Ferris Wheel. Over the years I’ve taken a few images of ferris wheels, so this is the first of what I’ll call a series…

Picture Perfect Tuesday: Nature Bits
I meant to post this one last week but the day got away from me. I found these little nature bits in the woods while taking a wee hike in Virginia two weeks ago.
I’ve never seen them before so, of course, I took this picture! If anyone knows what they are, please let me know.
Picture Perfect Tuesday: Shipping Port
I captured this image of a shipping port with my iPhone while in the car (as a passenger) crossing a bridge near 1000 Islands on a snowy dreary morning. The softness of the image captured the feel of the day and I love the retro look that was the result. The grain is a result of the built-in digital zoom and I boosted the contrast with the PS Express App.
Picture Perfect Tuesday: Horse Power
I popped over to the Ogdensberg, NY this weekend and these beauties were “parked” in the parking lot. I don’t know about you, but as a city a girl I am fascinated by horses and couldn’t resist snapping a pic.
Picture Perfect Tuesday: City Totems
For this week’s Picture Perfect Tuesday I give you “City Totems”. Hydro towers and lines – they are everywhere we look. For some reason these two towers, situated side-by-side, reminded me of Aztec totems. Do you see this too?
Picture Perfect Tuesday: Frosty Days
Winter is a great time for me to feed my obsession with how stunning frost can be. Did you know that frost crystals are actually translucent, but scatter light in many directions, so that a coating of frost appears white. Also there are many types of frost, such as Hoar Frost, which I discussed in a previous post, Radiation Frost and Window Frost.
For this week’s Picture Perfect Tuesday, here’s a shot of some Window Frost that was on my car. It caught my eye, when the sunlight caught it…
Picture Perfect Tuesday: Happy New Year
Tonight is New Year’s Eve, the night that we cut loose and celebrate the passing of another year – noting our accomplishments and brushing off our failures as we welcome in a fresh year full of possibilities.
For this week’s Picture Perfect Tuesday on the eve of the New Year, I give you roots. Take a moment to think about yours.
Picture Perfect Tuesday: Abstract
Many (too many!) years ago in college we had a photography assignment with one word for instruction: Abstract.
I was excited as ‘abstract’ could be anything I wanted it to be. A close-up on a wall, a blurry reflection in water or a smattering of colourful elements – wherever my imagination took me.
The great thing about abstract art is that it doesn’t reflect any form of conventional reality, all you see are shapes, colors, lines, patterns, and so on. Sometimes it just looks pretty. Sometimes it doesn’t. Regardless, when you see a piece of abstract art, the first response is to ask the creator what it is in order to create context for what you are looking at. However, with abstract art, there is usually a lot more than what initially meets the eye.
Abstract art is about energy; the energy that makes a piece ‘speak to you’. So really it’s not about asking what the piece is, but about acknowledging what the piece is to you… (is your mind blown?)
So for this week’s Picture Perfect Tuesday, I give you an abstract.
Picture Perfect Tuesday: Hoar Frost
Do you know what Hoar Frost is? I hadn’t heard of Hoar Frost until this weekend. Also called White Frost, according to the all-knowing Wikipedia, Hoar Frost is the white ice crystals that form from frozen dew. It typically forms on cold clear nights when heat is lost into the open sky causing objects to become colder than the surrounding air.
For this week’s Picture Perfect Tuesday, I present Hoar Frost:
