KODAK MOMENT of the Day

I was looking around my kitchen for food to take pictures of, when I spotted my vine tomatoes in the fridge.
The bright red colour really attracted me. So, I splashed one with some water, grabbed my point and shoot and placed the tomato by a window.

Just goes to prove you don't have to use special equipment to take amazing photographs.
I hope you are all having a great summer!

I saw a photographer standing exactly in the centre and trying to capture the reflections of this White Beauty. I liked the symmetry of the frame. I captured this in 2009 during my trip to Taj Mahal, Agra, India.

This is the beautiful Cinneraria plant, which I found at a local greenhouse. I couldn't remember the name and wanted to use it as the Title, so had to call the greenhouse back. I love it!

My daughter running along the sand dunes at sunset.

Taken at Six Flags Over St. Louis, this was the culmination of a great day for all of us.

Father and Son walk right towards us while on an African Safari. It is amazing just how close you can get to these giants.

A privilege to meet and photograph the most endangered Cat on the planet

This was taken in southern Utah. I looked out the window of my RV to see this cowboy leading his cattle to water. Needless to say, I grabbed the camera and shot off many images, the best of which was this one.

I took this photo from the visitor center, Navajo Tribal Park. The view of the desert is just mesmerizing.

I took this picture in Yangshuo, Guilin, China. Whenever I travel, I love getting up early to catch the sunrise. I never saw a sunrise quite like this one before!

This is my godson. He loves trains so I took him to a train track. You can see his parents in the background. I did a little selective coloring in Photoshop so that he was the main focus. Taken summer 09.

I took this shot at the "Metro Center" metro station in Washington DC. This relates to the Travel/Places theme, as the metro stations are important among the attractions in the Washington DC area.

I just love old trains and graffiti seems to add to it.

I took this photo with my camera phone while traveling the metro in Washington DC.

Why is this picture Special to you?
A: This picture is special because I was in a Dirt bike track near me and the idea dawned to me as I saw the sunset. It was one of those spur of the moments shots.

Where and when did you take this?
A: I took this in Feb 2009 at the Texas Moto-Plex Rosenberg, TX

How does it relate to the theme selected?
A: This is related to the theme because its about people and the things they love doing.

...a scene of deep peaceful stillness. Taken on a hot summer afternoon, in a little harbour on the south coast of England.

Fun with some balloons, a lovely summer day, and my niece. We have such a fabulous time making memories with the camera. ;)

Beautiful day on our first trip to Victoria, British Columbia. This is the gorgeous inner harbor with the historic Empress Hotel in the background.

It's special because I caught it frame before the water flowed down on my brothers head. I took it in August of this year. The water is still in the same shape of the balloon but the balloon is busted as you can see. My brother got all wet.

This is the Castle Hill Light in Newport, Rhode Island. I love lighthouse shots, and this one is special because of it's proximity to the ocean and the beautiful untouched rocky seashore that surrounds it.

A small local Rodeo was held at Tyalgum - but the riders all had big hearts and lots of courage.

Photographed August 2009.

An old Woman separating green chillis from a Huge Red hot chillis in Mid summer. Near Guntur the place is famous for Red chilli powder. i took it in the month of June 09. i have choosen people category: this is their Daily duty in india, i hope it's colors of india.

There's nothing like a trip to beautiful St. Maarten to brighten up a cold dreary Winter!

Taken after a heavy rain created 'rivers' running down the sides of our street. The boys could not resist running through them as a much gentler rain fell down on them.

I captured this beautiful Butterfly in a railway garden at Dhanbad, India on 31.3.10.

This is a favorite spot for us to visit. This picture is taken at Seabright State Park in Santa Cruz Ca., and taken in Aug 2009. It is a view of nature at it finest with the waves crashing against the breakers.

tough day surfing the world class waves at Maverick's

I was driving on a mountain road in Yellowstone and came across this bear walking in a field. My first and only picture of a bear turned out great!

This is a chance catch. Untouched photo. It is artistic and creative because the water spray looks like a heart. I took this in my backyard on April 18,2010

Our house is 70 years old. Some would think this corroded sink ugly. I find it quite beautiful. An old house or building can be treasure trove.

Wasps too, feed on flower nectar and play a role in pollination.

The picture was taken back in 2008.

Our Goldens always need a bath after they visit the beach here in San Francisco, Ca. 5/03/2010

Everyone was enjoying the Farm show while I was laying on the ground taking pictures of my daughter jumping :D

Taken at the Southern Wisconsin Airfest Show, May 30th, 2010, Janesville, Wisconsin. Melissa Pemberton, Skip Stewart and Rich's Piro

In a small village in Namibia we stopped for petrol and I saw a 4 x 4 coming down the street heading for the local school with a group of kids in the back, When they saw I was photographing them they all waved ... I think it made their day

I love the feel of a city at night. This is a photo of the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington taken on February 5, 2010. I first shot this scene in the daylight and planned on coming back at night to shoot again. I was so glad I did.

I was with my niece at Liberty State Park on 9/11/03 to observe the tribute in lights to the World Trade Center and remember how all of our lives were changed by the events of 9/11/01.

My cucumbers are slowly growing and stretching out their curls!

My husband Danny and I raise bucking bulls in Texas. He makes them easy to handle by talking to them like they are puppy dogs. This is Damascus, my husbands favorite bull.

Stacks of hay stored for the winter that lies inevitably ahead.

This actually stared out as a serious self family portrait, but we got creative, then silly, then laughed to hard we couldn't take pictures. We had "prop" hats, but I'm wearing my wife's hat and she's wearing mine.

Taken on the countryside von Osnabrueck, Germany, in Summer 2010.

On way to Varanasi by road, I saw this activity in a village during golden hour in the morning. I liked the colors and country life. The ladies are threshing the paddy crops with the help of bullocks to get paddy grains out. This is conventional thresher. Location: A village near Topchanchi, Jharkhand, India.

The picture is taken May, 2010.

A depiction of a Native American Woman on the Plains, ca. 1870's; possibly involved in the defense of her homeland. Taken in 2009 in Southwestern Idaho.

Arrived late to Peggy's Cove Lighthouse, but just in time to catch the sky afterglow following the sunset. I was amazed by blues of the sky -- not your typical oranges/reds of most sunsets.

July 24th was the World Wide Photo Walk. This image was taken along that walk.

As Autumn arrives we all Dream about the perfect place to be when the leaves change color... This was taken in southern Maine!

This is a photo of my daughter (middle) and her two friends. As I was walking back to the car to get a new lens, I turned around and saw this. I captured them in a moment when they were really themselves. It was perfect.

These three dogs belong to my son, myself, and my daughter, and couldn't be more different. They all want to come in after playing in the yard.

Relieving of the Guard, Red Square, Moscow.

Mandrill in the middle of a yawn.

My three guys enjoying some unexpected nice weather.
