Flower Girls

September 2002 - Flower Girls I am sensing a theme in 2002!

Fish Pond

August 2002 - Fish Pond Another fave from the past... working on more photos and found this one from 2002. The little flower girl had taken off, exploring around the pond, as I shot this picture at a wedding tea in Bentley's garden.

After all, it's the festive season!!! Thanks for your interest in my blog this year. I am looking forward to good things for 2007! - Donna -

Lighthouse Steps

Macquarie Light

May.02 - Macquarie Light Recently realized that I still haven't sorted out my pictures from my Australian '02 trip. When going through them today, I found a few favorites. Since the new stuff is trickling in with this winter weather - I thought I'd add some old favorites here.

Two and a Half Months

Orchids

October 2006 - Trying to get back into the swing of things. Have been slacking off in the photography department, and it shows! Practice, practice, practice is key.

Siblings

Still Sleeping

Baby Shoes

How cute are these shoes?!

44 Floors Up

Steel under construction on The Melville - Vancouver. Took this shot on my little digi as I was waiting for the hoist to take me back to solid groud. Kind of liked the way it turned out.

Milk and Cookies II

Another in the series

Milk and Cookies I

Mmmm... I'm starting to get hungry...

I liked this shot of the chicken dish. Warning: if inviting me for dinner, be prepared for the food shots!

Looking Up

Smile

Big Grin

I recall someone being in a goofy mood when I shot this picture...

On the Dock

This was the only black and white shot I got without a flash, as the light faded too fast. I really need that new Nikkon 85mm f1.8 lens. What's holding up the works?!

More Asparagus

Still regurgitating these asparagus shots!

Blue Glass

Perhaps I should be stepping out of my comfort zone and away from the still lifes... will see what I can do!

Lemon, Lime and Bitters

Before anyone says anything about my still lifes - and them being boring... I have this to say: Am working on my composition and lighting... it's a constant practice. It's better to shoot something than nothing at all. For this shot, I used my white reflector back on the subject... made a huge difference to the shot.
