Worldwide Photowalk

On Saturday, July 24th we attended the Worldwide Photowalk. It was a beautiful, beautiful day!!!

Here was the description of the walk that was planned and  that I posted on the St. Cloud spot on the site:

The walk will start at the front of the Atwood Center bldg (178th 6th St. S.) on the SCSU campus. Feel free to park across from the Atwood Building in the Garvey Parking lot. From there we will walk throughout the SCSU campus, then cross over University Bridge and walk through Munsinger Gardens. The SCSU campus affords for a great amount of architectural photo opportunities with the mix of newer buildings and historic as well. There are also plenty of landscape shots near the river. By walking across the bridge and over to Munsinger Gardens there will be an additional opportunity to capture the beauty of a well known St. Cloud landmark. The previous year we walked the Downtown St. Cloud area, so we were hoping to offer another St. Cloud area to photograph.

Our final destination will bring us to the The Corner Bean Coffee Shop attached to the University Crossings Bookstore at the intersection of 9th Ave and University Dr. S. (927 9th Ave, Saint Cloud, MN 56301).

--------------------------

It worked out just as we planned. I loved that everyone that took pictures took completely different shots…photography is so cool that way! If you want to see what everyone else took, head out to this Flikr site and check to see what they took. I will post some of mine below and a few more on another post.

This doesn’t look quite right does it?

This is over in Richmond and it is intentional…not sure how that could be, but it is.

“This is Life”

As stolen from someone (thank you someone!), who stole it from someone…I am starting a new series called, “This is Life”. My plan is to do my best to post one thing a day on “this is life”. Not the normal family life stuff that I share where I give you a whole story and pics with our “adventures” on my family blog, don’t worry, that will still continue as normal there. I am thinking more along the lines of one pic that should tell the whole story of something in our daily life, or something that may leave you hanging in our daily life. Surely nothing fancy, just something to challenge me in my photography and blogging ;)!

If you so decide to do this too, just steal the above pic and post it with your posts so we all know that you are doing it too :)! Have fun and enjoy the adventure of a new series and a new challenge!

Pretty…bugs can be pretty right?!

I Heart Faces – Over your head!

I thought that this might be a good rendition of over your head than anything else I could offer :)!

Don’t forget to head over to the I heart faces site and see all the other great entries!

My favorite daisy shots!

…and the weather continued Saturday.

As it continued it varied from clouds, to rain, to sun, to clouds, to sun, to rain and now to clouds with lightening in them…Interesting day to say the least!

This glorious site is on one side of my house. Here it is on the other…crazy to have two completely different skies at one time. Of course on the other side was lightening in the clouds that I had no clue to capture on camera. You will just have to believe me :)!
