Click

Whenever I notice something that is unusual or pretty, I get out my camera and click.  I become entranced with its uniqueness, and start to see some strange beauty about it.  Here are a few.

When I drive through to order my coffee, there is a bush with lots of bees swarming around it.  I think it's lavender, but not sure.


I couldn't believe this pink rose was still so alive in October.


I thought these doves sitting on the wire were sweet.


I got up early Tuesday morning around 6:30, and while sipping on my coffee, I saw a beautiful sunrise dazzling the sky with pink and purple.



This was such a fat bird that I thought it was an owl at first, until I took a closer look.


I thought these were so unusual but very pretty, and I'm wondering what kind of flower they are?


This seagull seemed to be as interested in me as I was in him.




When I was walking at the park, I noticed this underneath my feet.


Jess has got me hooked on the chocolate cookies at Panera Bread - Yum!


These are planted in the front of my house.  The rain the last couple of days have made them bloom.


I am loving the white pumpkins this year.


So, whenever I see anything that has a bit of wonder, I just get out my camera and click.

I think photographers have a different and more intensive view on things, and those who are blogging are special anyway! So are your photos - they are very nice, Sheri, and I especially love the ones with sunrise. I love the mood in the early mornings and sunrises are so romantic :).
Have a wonderful week with special moments,
Barbara

Hello dear Sheri!
Oh my, the photos are so beautiful. You really have an eye for the camera lens..
That does look like a lavender, maybe a cotton lavender.
The sunrise is just breathtaking!
Enjoy your week.
Just "click" please
fondly,
Penny

Dear Sheri,

I admire so much that you take notice of the little beauties of life...they are really grand beauties, aren't they? I love Einstein's quote about life...he says that either everything is a miracle, or nothing is...he subscribed to the everything philosophy! :)
Thank for inspiring us with your beautiful photos...those flowers are amazing...the sky, birds...the photo of the bee is dreamy...
Do you think our two little gulls are related? ;))
I thank you so much for your always thoughtful messages...right now I'm sharing the computer, so I only have a chance to read and answer two to three comments a day...I'm sorry for that delay.
I wish you a most splendid weekend, dear Sheri!
Hugs,
- Irina

The flower is California buckwheat, Eriogonum fasciculatum, a native of California. For me it has some of the best autumn color locally. What you are seeing are actually the seedheads which I describe as marbled orange sherbet. The flowers are small, pink-and-white things.

You are such a great photographer! I love the photos you take. I really like the bee on the lavender, what a great close-up. It's always interesting the things you find while walking. In my younger days, when I was going through a training program for Unit Clerks in a hospital, I had a teacher who asked us to notice something new each day that we were on our way to work. You know, that statement has always "stuck" with me. I guess that is why I am always looking for something new and different.

I read recently that Indian tradition says that if you find a feather in your path while walking it means you are traveling on the right spiritual path. Lately, I've noticed several in my walking path and that thought always comes to my mind.

Cute photo of the boy taking a photo of the girl!
