Darn AOL

   I am just having the worse time with AOL right now.  I can't tell you how many times I tried to get this entry in.   When I visit a journal I have to refresh about 5 times to get it to load.   Very frustrating.  I have tried to visit everyones journal in the last photo shoot from Krissy but sometimes it wouldn't let me leave a comment.  AAARRRGGGGHHHHH.    So sorry about that everyone.  I loved everyones shots.  I hope I can even post this and I hope this improves shortly.  I hope its not just my journal.  So anyway sorry about not personally leaving a comment and thanks for all the wonderful comments on my last shot.  If you haven't been to Devils Tower you should try to get there at least once.  So cool.

   (Late entry.   Thank you all for the wonderful comments on my deer shots.  As Greg knows I am over run with them and could get 100 shots a day just by sitting in my back yard.  They do make good photo subjects though and I love taking their pictures.)

JLand Photo Shoot

    

Thanks to all of you who played last week!  We had our largest turn out ever with 25 participants!  Let's continue the fun this week. 

This week's photo shoot will begin today (on Monday) and be due on Saturday, Jan. 19 at 11 PM EST. 

Our subject this week is:

The letter "T"... begins with T or find an object resembling the letter

         Devils Tower.  In Wyoming.  If you look close you can see people climbing it.  Remember the movie Close Encounters?  This is this place.  Didn't see any spaceships when we were there though.

Thank you

   I want to thank each and everyone of you for your vote.  I was happy with the baby deer shot also.   Please join the community for the next challenge if you haven't done so yet.  It was alot of fun.  Congratulations to all the other winners and all the people who submitted photographs.  The first one is off to a great start.

                           

Even marbles

       I have some marbles I have been looking at.  This is a better way to really see them.  This should work OK for Krissy's Photo shoot.

photo shoot #124

         

This week we have a brand new logo made by Valerie!  To my knowledge, this photo shoot has been the longest running in JLand, hence its new name!  A new name and a new look for a new year!  Thanks to all of you who have played along since this photo shoot's inception (2004), and I hope you continue to get enjoyment for a long time to come!

This week's photo shoot will begin today (on Monday) and be due on Saturday, Jan. 12 at 11 PM EST. 

Our subject this week is:  a close up (interpret this to be as close as you like)

       Very few things escape my camera, LOL.

Beginnings.

   I love the idea of the new community Photo Challenge.   These are all last years pictures but they all show new beginnings.  I will get more creative with my borders as I am anxious to get back to taking the pictures I love.

Community Photo Challenge-"BEGINNINGS"

Here are the rules :

Community Photo Challenge-"BEGINNINGS"

To start off the New Year & a New Photo Challenge we have decided to make the first challenge "BEGINNINGS" Any goes as long as it represents beginnings.  New baby, budding flowers, baby birds, sunrises...You can use your own file photo(past photos) for this one.  Not many rules here. Try to be creative--presentation is important, even if you just add a small border around the photo so it doesn't get lost on the background of your journal.

Monday Photo Shoot

Monday Photo Shoot: Personal Gifts

Every now and again it's nice to do a little something for yourself -- and that's the theme of this week's Monday Photo Shoot:

Your Monday Photo Shoot: Take a picture of something nice/fun/interesting that you recently bought for yourself. That means something you bought because you said to yourself "hey, that would be nice to have," as opposed to, say "hey, this is something I have to get." So, for example, that package of tube socks that you just bought would not qualify for photo shoot -- but a pair of multicolored knee-high socks with kittens on them would. It's all about the delivery, you see.

    This was easy as for my birthday last month I bought myself something I had been wanting for awhile.  It is called Under Clouds of Gold and Greg Kiser of Four Forty-Six Photography took the shot.  It went wonderful with a similar picture I had and it had a perfect frame for it also.  Check out the one in his gallery as it is a better shot then the one I took with my camera, too much glare.  It was a wonderful present to myself.
