KODAK MOMENT of the Day

Takes the classic "Singing in the rain" and updates it to digital!

This was a lot of fun to take. He was a great subject that really got into goofing around with me!

*This beauty can be found simply in the woods,and that's special to me! *Photo was taken: 11-10-2009 in the Netherlands *Nature

Sunrise over the desert dunes on a winter's day (Central region, Saudi Arabia)

Lake Tahoe is a fantastic place for photographers to get a wide variety of light and color. This day there was a beautiful blue sky and the crystal clear lake reflected it well.

What better way to start the day, than with a beautiful sunrise!

Nothing depicts a "KODAK Moment" more than a waterfall!

Taken at the Chattanooga Nature Center. I kept looking around for Pandas! (None to be found:-)

On a desert safari in Libya we were in the Acacus mountain region and when travelling down a large wadi we went round a bend and this was the sight that caused many an exclamation of surprise in our party

Believed to be one of the most photographed parts of Colorado, this is an early snow fall on Maroon Bells this year.

This is my awesome niece pretending to have "superpowers" by "holding" the sun...This was taken December 31,2009.

I love to photograph tulips, when they are in season. I love the way the water drops form on the flower and on the leaves and stems. I buy them all spring and plant many in my yard to photograph.

This is my sweet son at soccer practice. THe sun is always going down during practice so it was right in his eyes.

This is a picture of me and my husband, Ronald, during our honeymoon in Prague. Taken in July 2009.

This photo was taken at a small fisher village called Hawston, South Africa. This was a father and his young daughter waiting for the incoming fishing boat of their friend

This image shows a whole new world created in a water drop .

This photograph was taken at Monmouth Park Racetrack in New Jersey. The photo finish is special to me because it's of the winning horse I bet on to win. :)

This was taken in a place that is special to my heart in Norfolk, England. Taken July 2009.

I took this at the shore last summer.

I think this Moment speaks for it's self. The photo was taken at the Chesapeake Bay shoreline, Shady Side Maryland in June 2008.
The Osprey arrive here each March, and all have successfully raised 2 to 3 chicks. Thankfully, the Osprey has rebounded after being poisoned by DDT and other pollutants.

Editor's Announcement: Congratulations to David Colburn, Kodak Gallery's "KODAK Moment" Winner for April.

This is Spot, a Leopard Gecko. He is so curious and loves to climb everywhere. I let him out in my garden everyday - and this one day while we were out there, he climbed up into my lap while I was reading, and this is the photo I took.

This is my mom's cat. It went outside and was trying to find the way back in. Animals, they know their home and they understand love.

Putty was looking out the glass door while it rained one afternoon in March.

This pregnant mum can feel the new life :) I was!

We pray heavenly God above, protect our little angle with your love. Guide these teeny tiny little feet, safely down life's winding street.

Editor's Note: Wishing all Moms a Happy Mother's Day!

Ever watch a baby play with a toy? The joy they get out of such simple things always amazes me. This is a photo of my son. He was about 6 months old when this was taken. His expression while he played was and still is priceless to me. :~)

I LOVE this photo of this adorable 18-month-old baby trying to do his new "trick" - a wink. :)

I took this photo of my grandson, Landon, while he was receiving photo-therapy for jaundice after his August 2004 birth.

I did this water drop refraction for the newest member of our family.

We had the hardest time getting this little one to give us any expressions - she just did not want to let Mom go. We tried everything, so I had to take what I could get, when I could get it - with no time to compose.

Watching the Thunderbirds at Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico, was a memorable moment for my family and me. Our best regards to the brave men and women serving abroad in the armed forces.

Just love tulips and all flowers ! =)

This was taken in the fields behind my house. It's special to me because it's my daughter running through the overgrown grass with her unicorn. I loved the tree in bloom as well as the rich colors.

This picture was taken during my daughter's pre-k graduation ceremony while the children were being led onto the stage. I was able to capture one of her classmates intently searching the crowd for her mother. Her natural beauty and innocence was captivating.

I am one to take a lot of pictures because I believe there is no memory more special than a picture. When I gave a copy to her teacher she commented that she was sure her family would love it because she was not sure they had a camera.

I wanted to capture the famous St. Basil's Cathedral at night, so I set up my tripod and waited patiently. This photo proved to me that good things come to those who wait.

Wait, I have to smell the daffodils.

This photo shows the Milky Way over Double Arch in Arches National Park, Utah. Night photography is addictive. The stars were vivid on this night, and we decided to light the arch with a handheld flashlight to give the sky even more perspective.

I'm in awe of the Spring flowers this year!

I shot this photo of a proud Cuban Man smoking his cigar. Taken recently in Trinidad, Cuba with my Nikon D300s.

My four year old grandson was in total awe as he examined his very first caterpillar.

Taken at a recent festival.

Great Blue Heron's nest building is nature at its best. The male gathers branches, gives them to the female who constructs the nest.

I like the contrasts of shapes of pole vaulting. I took it at a recent meet from my son's school.
This athlete set the school record.

Brings back youthful memories. Aiming to capture the beauty and awe in the job of the balloon vendor. Do you ever wonder how they manage to retrieve the exact balloon the child selects from this slew of strings? Taken at a local Sesquicentennial Parade May 16, 2009

I took my daughter to Coney Island last week and took a few shots of the boardwalk. I like this one because I get a sense of the fun waiting to be had in the summer when the gate opens up.

One of the last buds from my garden last fall.

Editor's Note: June is Rose Month! I hope you enjoy this virtual beauty :)

I took this image as the little fairy was about to blow her dust! Color tone and grain effects were added.

I just received my new camera as a Mother's Day gift, and this was one of the first photos I took. It was taken without a tripod...guess I must have been 'super steady' that day.
The dandelions had not been rained on yet and were quite full--and the morning dew had them looking like diamonds in a jewelry shop window.
When I blew this image up, I thought it had an outer space look to it.

The simplicity of daisies lure me. They were loved by my grandmother and have always been special to me, and planted in any garden I've ever had. This particular group came into bloom on the day my daughter assembled her friends by my garden to take photos before going to their Junior Semi-Formal.

This picture was taken in the Summer of 2009. These two brave young souls are enjoying the beauty of Grand Canyon, South Rim.

Editor's Note: Today is World Environment Day. Be sure to go out and enjoy what the planet has to offer.

These ferns are abundant in the Cathedral Grove, which is a wonderful forest on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

I was at my niece's ballet recital. This is the youngest class of the ballet company. I love how they are all doing something different. Just too cute.

I found these stones along the edge of a field in Iowa. I love the fact that the farmer took the time to create something of beauty from what would normally be thrown aside.

This photograph was taken in northern Tanzania while I was studying abroad during my junior year of college. For two weeks, each student from our group lived with a Maasai family in the plains just south of Arusha, Tanzania. Our group was present during a day-long wedding ceremony that brought together Maasai families from all over the region. Upon arriving at the ceremony and discovering another student's digital camera, my host brother became the de facto photographer.

These plastic soccer balls being held in a net were the prizes for one of the games at a local carnival.
