Florida Holiday Lights

Nothing says Christmas like holiday lights! My family went for a Christmas drive to see the lights in town. One area of town has an annual contest to see who can have the best display. This one won 2nd place this year.

Holiday Challenge

I thought with the holiday season that it might be nice to have a challenge that could span Christmas and New Years. So how about using the following prompts to take some new photos? Use as many you like.

• Silent Night
• Festival of Lights
• Tis the season...
• Traditions
• Deck the halls with...
• Ring in the new year
• Reflection
• New beginnings
• Wishing you and yours...
• Resolution

Happy holidays all! I hope you enjoy this festive season and that your cameras get a workout.

My take on the challenge

Its for the birds

Yellow, yes really

Man Made

Lights, camera, action

Wild about you

Feet

Path - or runway 3 is cleared for landing

The eyes have it - Annie's just checking to make sure

More from the zoo

For the birds and they are yellow

A beautiful yellow bush

Well then this is man-made

I'm wild about you...... just push off

Lights, camera, action.... you talkling to me???

Challenge at the Zoo.....

Big feet????

Pathway to........

Eyes???? just a big eye

December zoo challenge

Had trouble choosing - thanks for playing everyone!!

"It's for the birds" - in this case my hands/camera & anything else close...

"Yellow"

"Person-made"

"Wild about that butt!"

"Lights, camera & where's my treat?"

"Foot"

The "path" less travelled

"The eyes have it" (the psycho emu eyes were compelling but who can go past these?)

Nita - Zoo Challenge

OK - so below are the 8 photos that I took that I thought best represented the 8 challenge themes....

Wild about you - or "wild" zoo tourists!

Path - lookin up - pathway to the sky

Feet - thought these roots looked like tree feet!

Lights, camera, action - not much action from these guys!

Man-Made - wish I had taken a better photo of this working windmill. Can you see the running water?

The Eyes Have It - a bit sleepy really....

For the birds - hmmm - flitting around is for the birds!

Yellow - love the yellow ruffles on the edge of these flowers.

What a fun day we had trying to get photos to represent all the categories. Hope everyone else has/had fun playing too. Thanks for the challenges Mandy. :o)

Weekend Photo Challenge

As a few of us were headed to the zoo this weekend Mandy put together a few photo challenge themes to post here. You don't necessarily have to head to the zoo to take these photos, but she suggested we use the following words to come up with a photo for each category...

• "It's for the birds"
• "Yellow"
• "Man-made" (or person-made if you prefer)
• "Wild about you"
• "Lights, camera, action"
• "Feet"
• "Path"
• "The eyes have it"

If you feel like playing along, post a photo for each category. Now time for me to sort through the photos I took today to find one for each myself.
