Image of the Week...Week#6

[Steve U]

Entry period will be from Sunday to Sunday, with this week closing on the 28 July.
Only two categories; Portrait and Landscape
Portrait- Anything with eyes, people, animals
Landscape- Country, town, city, sea, abstract, things (water drops, smoke, flowers, candles and so on)

Each category will have a winner each week and this week judged hopefully by Denise, who I think has an eye for detail, creativity and artistic flair.

Then a poll to sort out monthly winners.

Please supply a title for your image and what category you are entering in. Enter as many times as like, old or new images.
Start posting your new shots here.

Don't worry, Steve, the cute puppy is bound to win the portrait category if Denise is judging!

Portrait Entry #1 "Mother-in-Law turns 94"

At 94 she is remarkable. If you ask her "How are you?" She invariably replies with a smile "I'm hangin' in there!"

She remains gracious and is still finding joy in the simple, everyday things that life has to offer. She especially likes my bird pictures

I'm a lucky man to have known her.

This is not even in the same league as Sean's fireworks picture a couple of weeks ago. It was my first attempt at fireworks while trying to capture both the show and some of the surrounding environment. I learned that I was too close without a wide enough lens and that long exposures to capture the trees don't lend themselves to fireworks shows that have multiple blasts per second. I chalk this up to a slow learning process that comes around once per year for me. Anyway, after a long day of hiking out from a backpacking trip, this was just the way to finish off the night with my wife and kids.

Portrait: The Lady and I
We went out to Fort Foster in Kittery Maine and she was begging for me to take a picture of us. Set up the tripod and the timer and jumped into the picture.
