Let's Wild Weekly Photo Challenge: Green grass

WordPress weekly photo challenge: Green

Zazzle online shop If you enjoy my photos and would like to purchase some, I want to thank you! Simply visit my Zazzle online shop and browse the product offerings. If there’s a photo you would like to purchase but don’t see it in my shop, please contact me by using the Contact form at the bottom of my home page and let me know which photos you are interested in purchasing, and in what format / medium.

For a nature photographer like me, green is a beautiful color, indicating vibrant life around me. Unfortunately living in Southern California means green is actually not a common sight. Any plant or grass growing in the winter starts green, only to turn yellow or brown by the time the summer sun starts its baking process. I’m lucky enough to live right by the San Diego River, which is heavily surrounded by poplars and their pretty green leaves. They’re turning yellow right now, and they’re just as pretty.

Remember you can click on most of the photos below to see a larger view of this WordPress weekly photo challenge: Green.

Here are a few examples of green I’ve encountered in Southern California. I’ll start with my very favorite, which I captured at Dos Picos State Park last spring. This green hue was so surreal, I felt I had just walked into a secret fairyland. I can’t wait to go back there next spring and hope to see similar sights. If you’re wondering what the purple blooms are in the back, it’s Ramona lilac. They make beautiful clusters of flowers, but alas no scent.

I love the green lush surrounding this Stellar Jay bird, making its blue feathers stand out even more.

Finally, you can find a lot of green in Southern California if you look by a source of water. Here are a few green plants, including ferns, that love water and shade. I took this photo in the small mountain town of Idyllwild, California, by Strawberry Creek, this past summer.

Pink water lily and lily pads at the pond in Balboa Park, San Diego

Did you like the original water lilies? There’s more where it came from

Do you remember the photo of the water lilies I took at San Diego’s Balboa Park? The one I used for the month of August in my 2013 photo calendar? Well, I went back to my memory card and looked if there were more photos good enough to share. I found a few, so here we go.

Remember to click on each photo for a larger view.

Here’s the whole patch where my water lilies came from. I like capturing reflections in the water. Unfortunately it’s not always easy to find a good angle to photograph the water lilies from to get their best shot, as well as an interesting building reflection, so it can be tricky. I think this photo came out OK.

Here’s the photo of the three pink water lilies on the right, the one I used in the calendar.

And here’s a photo of the single water lily closer to the front of the first picture.

This pond at Balboa Park also displays white water lilies but I think pink beats white any day when it comes to standing out on the green lily pads. What do you think?

A Facebook announcement and a Pinterest question

I’m writing this short post today to let everybody know that I’ve finally taken the plunge and created my own Facebook fan page for my photography work.

I’d love for you to like my page and if you have a fan page too, please let me know so I can like it in return.

After you click Like, please take the time to click on the Liked button, then check both the Show in Newsfeed and View Notifications options, to make sure you receive Facebook updates as I publish them. Facebook keeps changing their settings and their newest thing is to prevent people who like pages from seeing these page posts in their newsfeed. Nice…

I also have a quick question about Pinterest. If you’re a photographer, do you have a Pinterest account you use to pin your own photos? Or if you’re a big Pinterest fan, would you see value in someone like me pinning my photos to share with others? I would think Pinterest would be a great venue since it’s such a visual experience but I haven’t signed up yet. Would you mind sharing your input?

Thank you very much for your time and your Likes!
