Weekly Photo Challenge: Ooh, Shiny!

Published on by Stephany12 Comments

What is the thing that repeatedly catches my attention and has me grabbing my camera for yet another photo?  The equivalent to the squirrel that is forever distracting Dug in the movie Up?  The theme in over 20% of the photos on my cell phone?

The sky.

I have a fascination with what is happening in the wild blue yonder and regularly point my camera upward to capture the ephemeral drama.  I’ve chosen a sampling to illustrate my addiction.  (They are cell phone images so the quality may be a bit questionable.)

Phone Photos: The Best of Summer Travel 2016

This summer has been a fun season of travel in Maryland, Virginia and New York.  Although I was apt to reach for my big girl camera to capture the scenery and experiences of those adventures, my handy-dandy Samsung Galaxy did a pretty nice job in a pinch.
