Last weekend I took my kids to the small mountain town of Julian, California, about an hour east of San Diego. One of our activities there was to pick apples right off the tree. When I put the apples we brought back in the kitchen sink to wash them, I realized we had an unexpected guest. A cute red ladybug! So I took it outside and put it on my rose bush. I bet it wondered how it got there!

Fellow photography blogger Cee recommended me for the “Capture The Colour 2013” photo contest in her post yesterday. When I read the contest’s terms & conditions, I realized the contest was opened until October 9, 2013. That’s tomorrow, yikes! Since the contest holder is in the UK, I figured I had very little time to enter.
Here are my entries for each color theme: yellow, green, blue, red and white. I’m also supposed to recommend this contest to 5 fellow bloggers so here’s my pick. If I didn’t name you and still want to participate, you have a few more hours to do so.

YELLOW – I took this photo of a beautiful sunflower just yesterday. This is my very first sunflower and I tried to fill my frame with it as much as I could, letting the great blue sky fill the rest.

GREEN – this photo of a raindrop on a grass blade seems to be a favorite so it was an easy choice for the green theme. I love the grass blade reflections in the raindrop.

BLUE – this was my very first dragonfly and it happened to be blue. Since then, I’ve photographed more dragonflies, all orange.

RED – I love bees and I love bottle brush tree flowers. This photo is the best of both worlds for me, and a brand new photo on this site.

WHITE – I photographed this beautiful great egret this past weekend. Such a proud bird owning the water’s edge.

Today I’m taking part in Ese’s Weekly Shoot & Quote Challenge. This week’s theme is “vibrations”. If you like what you see, I encourage you to subscribe so you can enjoy the new photos I post a few times a week.
Good Vibrations is one of my favorite song by the Beach Boys. My favorite vibrations when I take photos are the ones in the water, and definitely not the ones caused by my shaky body when I’m shooting close-ups! I love the way wavy vibrations can affect the reflections of what’s on or next to the water. When I look at famous painting by the masters, I can see they were fascinated by those vibrations too. Water really is a great venue to shoot around.
Here are two shots of a great egret I had the opportunity to photograph this weekend. On the first photo, the water wasn’t very wavy but as the egret went on, the water’s vibrations increased, creating an interesting reflection in the water. It looks like that poor egret got his neck quite twisted there!

I love photographing bees as they’re collecting nectar off the many flowers we have here in San Diego. These pink flowers were actually blooms on a large bush last summer. I think I will add the first photo as a potential choice for my animal theme 2014 photo calendar. I love that hue of pink!
