WORLD WIDE PHOTO WEEK: PART 123 -- Recreation

[BLS]

The theme for this week is "Recreation." Interpret this any way you like, as different and unusual interpretations are always welcome.

Here are the rules:

1. Shots need to be taken between sunrise Monday and sunset the following Sunday. Because this activity is supposed to encourage us to get out and shoot, please don't post old shots from your archives. Crummy shots and art are equally welcome -- just get out & shoot, and then share!

2. Post your shots at any time during the week.

3. Post a maximum of two shots if you're uploading them to POTN (i.e., attaching them). You can post more than two if you're linking to shots that are not hosted by POTN (i.e.,embedding them), but keep within POTN rules. Also keep within POTN rules about size. A copy of the size rules can be found here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=194511 (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=194511)

An index to previous weeks can be found here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=170603 (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=170603)

That's it! Have fun!

Well my wife and I were in the city and we decided to stop here for some recreation

this doesn't look like any city I've ever seen...

[BLS]

this doesn't look like any city I've ever seen...

I thought the same thing!

That horse's nose looks bald. (pony?)

[BLS]

Almost forgot about next week's theme. :o

Here are some ideas:

1. Abandoned
2. Young & Old
3. Miniature

Let me know what tickles your fancy.

[Skrim17]

a pony it was, and bald nosed as well!

[John_B]

this doesn't look like any city I've ever seen...Skrim17,
Its 11 miles north of Albany NY (tiny vs. Manhattan but still a city) ;)

[John_B]

BLS,
My vote goes to 1. Abandoned

[Skrim17]

I can do abandoned.

John I was in Catskill NY and Great Barrington Mass this weekend, pretty close to Albany as the crow flies.

[BLS]

I had a hard time fitting "Recreation" into my agenda this week.
Then, I saw this guy and remembered John's "re-creation" comment.
So here's my shot.

It's a cicada's empty shell.
You can just barely see the slit on the shoulder where the bug emerged, "re-creating" itself as a flying insect.

NICE Barbara!!

[John_B]

BLS,
Sorry that doesn't count :lol: <-- Just kidding of course
After all some of us like taking photos and consider it recreation ;)

Skrim17,
Yup, just a rocks throw down south :) (okay maybe a bit more than that) :lol:

[monty28428]

All right nice photos! Here I thought I killed the thread right off the bat :-)

Does this look a little cooler Barbara ?

[annietex]

ok, I know it's after sundown, but I thought I'd throw a couple in from last weeks recreation...

My favorite subjects:

Does this look a little cooler Barbara ?

It sure does -- all that wind and spray to keep them cool!


Ann -- Kids are definitely having fun. It's easy to see why they're your favorite subjects.
Oh, and the sundown rule is for shooting only. There are no time limits on posting. So post some more, if you like.:)

I have had a rather busy week and even busier weekend doing household chores preparing for the next baby but I managed to get up my hummingbird feeder finally. Within 15 minutes I had a hungry bird. I managed to snag a few shots, but I need to work some more on my technique.

[annietex]

Barbara, thanks for the kind words and the info!

Mike, good job on the hummingbird. I'd love to try and get a shot of one sometime, but they're SO fast! I guess it ends up being a matter of timing and lots of practice :)

On to Abandoned...Ann
