KODAK MOMENT of the Day

One evening, I was walking down a street in my hometown, taking pictures as I traveled. I saw this lizard on the windowsill and thought it would be fun to see how close I could get before the lizard scurried away. To my surprise, the lizard seemed entranced by the light from the shop window and was too distracted to notice or care about my presence.

Often heard before it is seen, a Red-shouldered Hawk is captured in flight.

Taken on a January cold evening. I wanted to use light to illustrate a movement of traffic on this busy junction.

We normally don't have owls in our front yard tree just few feet from my front door one May morning. Mom was found first then 2 weeks later the owlets were found. I was lucky enough to get them all together. Mom was normally hanging out elsewhere in the tree.

As my granddaughter Leah was playing in the window, I asked her to just look out the window for me. What beautiful innocence I beheld.

This picture was taken in March 2014 on the American side of Niagara Falls, NY, just above the rapids. To me, it looks like a wild-haired snow pony leaping out of the rapids. Can you see it?

The picture is just beautiful! Things like that do not happen very often in Vienna.

I find classic automobiles to have a design that incorporates a blending of style and shapes that seems to have been lost in the design of contemporary vehicles. Even small details, such as the grill and hood ornament of this old Packard can be striking.

Love the emotion

Flowers are always nice to enjoy, smelling their fresh scents and seeing their beauty, but I like to add some "rain drops" to get reflections of the flowers nearby. I took this in my yard recently, now I can enjoy them all winter long! Fresh roses, all but the scent!

I love when nature plays tricks on you and makes you see more than what it is. I took this picture on the first day of snow fall in our town a couple of weeks ago and I really like how it looks. It relates because snow is nature. The way the snow is stacked makes you wonder what is it trying to protray.

2 people walking through a light snow making their own footprints along with others who have passed before them.

A freezing cold evening, but still worth a short stop to make a photograph.
