Totem Poles

If you have been following my other BLOG, you have read about our visit to the totem pole park.  We saw poles in other cities too.  So I thought I would give you some close up shots of the totems! 

Totems tell the stories of different native americans clans.  They have other meanings too.  You can read about totems HERE.

I love the angle on this one!



Do you feel like someone is watching YOU?



Stay tuned to more close ups of ALASKA!

Backyard BEAUTY!

I grabbed my camera and headed to the backyard today.  Since this is our first year at our house, I am discovering all that blooms each season.  I love filling my len with all of God's handiwork. 

Not sure the name of this flower, but I love the purple color!!

Look at all that texture in the pedals and detail in the middle, BEAUTIFUL!

We have Azealia bushes.  I have to practice taking pictures of the white flowers. 

 They were pretty washed out. 

Then when I walked out front, I found this bush of Peonies.  I love these flowers.  They are so BIG!

 That bud exploded into this flower!  LOVE IT!

I had to cut a  few of these and bring

them inside for our dining table.

If God’s creation helps you see

What wonders He can do

Then trust the many promises

That He has given you. —D. De Haan

Word Art Wednesday

This weeks verse from Word Art Wednesday

is Psalm 9: 1-2.  It talks about praising the Lord for all the wonderful things He has done. His creation fills me with JOY.  I can't get enough of it.  Thank you Lord for creating such a wonderful world full of glorious details.  Take time to seek out God's glory in creation. 

Linking to Scripture Thursday and Word Art Wednesday

Photo Assignment

I have been reading my book and have come to the picture assignments. 

The first one is to Photograph a Flower Close-up

 I found these sunflowers on a walk the other day. 

• Set your camera to MACRO setting or use a Macro lens. I use my macro setting.
• If your camera won't shoot you may be TOO close.
• Take pictures from different angles.  Move around and look through the viewfinder for various positions.
• Make sure there isn't a disstracting background.
• Afterwards study the picturse to see which shows off your subject best.

Happy Shooting!

Michael pointed out this little guy while we were walking the trail.  He stuck around to let me take a few pictures.
