mlktwins Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I told my boys that today's prompt was dust. One of my boys said, "Just get a picture of underneath my chair! There's lots of dust there!" They have recliners in their playroom and there is a lot of dust. Who knew -- LOL!!! Then I went to inspect his room and found a lot of dust on his Legos. Guess what he is doing today -- LOL?!?!?!? 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I feel like I cheated since a screen shot is not a "real" photo. So here are my actual photos for Dust. The first one: When you have pets all of your dust bunnies contain pet hair. It doesn't matter if you swept/vacuumed less than 24 hours ago. They'll magically reappear. Bonus if you have light colored floors and dark haired pets or vice versa. The second: These have become little more than dust collectors. I can't even remember the last time someone in this house watched a DVD. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garga Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (Whoops—-posted this on the wrong thread...will post here as well.) Dust. These are from my blog from years ago. The first is taken at someone else's house of her old cameras. Old cameras always should be dusty. It's a rule. The chandelier is in my own house. I don't really think about dust on chandeliers until we have tall visitors stop by for the evening. Here's the blog post about the dusty cameras, if you're interested: https://dustylizard.wordpress.com/2013/01/27/death-by-potato-masher-dust-is-healthy-and-dogs-toot/ Here's the blog for the dusty chandelier: https://dustylizard.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/tall-guests-are-good-for-bumping-dust-off-chandeliers/ 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 This is my answer to dust, even though the dust situation in this cabinet is not too bad. These are my shotglasses from places I have been. It’s so incongruent, thouh, because I’m not a big drinker and haven’t had a shot of something in probably twenty years. But I chose shotglasses to be my “thing” because they are small, inexpensive and ubiquitous. There has literally never been a point when I wanted a souveneir from some place but there was no option to buy a shotglass. Before we have a party, I usually dust this cabinet so it will look pretty with the lights on...and because then I can forget about the cabinet until the next party. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today we saw a gorgeous double rainbow. One of them showed the entire half circle and was very bright. Unfortunately we were driving on the highway so I didn’t get the full picture. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Florida. Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Weather Hurricane Irma last September. The first one is before she arrived when we were getting feeder bands.

Rachel Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 I have a couple more to share, the first from our trip across South Dakota last year. The second is a couple weeks after Hurricane Harvey when we went down to help family.

Oh no, you edited before I could reply but I so get what you were saying about photos of sunsets and flowers. I'm an amateur but I love taking nature photos. I can't tell you how many photos of flowers I have - bees on flowers, butterflies on flowers, water droplets on flowers, close up of flowers lol! It's the same with my backyard bird photos. How many photos can I take of the same kind of bird at the feeder? I'm taking a few online courses related to my photo editing software. I haven't yet got to the part where you add effects but I'm looking forward to learning to do more with my photos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't yet got to the part where you add effects but I'm looking forward to learning to do more with my photos. Sorry I edited it. I felt like I was being too wordy on a photography thread--a picture being worth a thousands words you know. I started with my photography hobby in 2011 and hit the ground running. I spent a lot of time on it. A lot of time. I joined a club and we met twice a month and did some pretty fun and somewhat complex photography activities. I went to that club from 2011 until 2014, so it was a lot of meetings and lot of projects. In 2012, I took a picture a day and blogged about it, but it was more like 10-20 pictures a day. I took my camera with me everywhere I went, even though the weight would get hard on my back if I was out all day. By 2015 I started thinking, "What do I do with these pictures?" I mean, sure I could see a great sunset and take a picture of it...but why? I already have 50 such pictures at home. It got down to the fact that I'd done everything I wanted to do and it was getting...boring. I kept taking pictures, but then they'd just sit there on my computer. And then I found a way to make the sort of picture I posted--where I merge two pictures together and make it look like the things in the pictures are interacting. And that sparked my love of photography again. I haven't done as much with it as I could, but I've taken a few pictures like that and they're my favorites. In fact, I was thinking of doing one of them yesterday for dust, where I took a picture of a ball of dust and a picture of me and the kids and then shrunk us down like we were fighting a giant ball of dust bigger than ourselves. But I ran out of time. ? Those pictures do take a bit of time to compose and then edit. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori D. Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 WEATHER Our weather from yesterday late afternoon — monsoon season is just starting in this hot, dry place, with cloud build up, big fat raindrops or sheets of downpour, violent wind, and electrical storms. The quality of #3 and #4 are really bad, but I did actually capture 2 different lightning strikes away up on the mountains! 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb_ Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 The desert is always sunny, so when it rains the kids celebrate like the first snow in winter. These are photos from last year’s summer. It’s funny that Lori is posting photos of the monsoons at the same time lol.

Garga Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Was supposed to get up at 7, but was too tired when the alarm went off. Dozed until 8:30, then checked Facebook, email, and here. Finally, just now decided to get up. Here’s a picture of my ceiling. It’s 9:00 as you can tell from the clock that beams the time on the ceiling. You can sort of see the glow-in-the-dark stars stuck to the ceiling with that blue poster stuff in the middle of each star. This used to be the boys’ room. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
