Lens Artists Photo Challenge #236 – East meets West or North meets South

February 18, 2023Posted in Georgia, Nature, Photography, WaterfallsTagged East and West or North and South, Lens-Artists, Photo Challenge20 Comments

Amy’s challenge is to explore differences between locations in the East and West or North and South using culture, architecture, plants, or landscape. I’m going to take a look at the differences between North Georgia and South Georgia landscapes. The opening image is springtime in Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah.

North Georgia

North Georgia has mountains, waterfalls, Tallulah Gorge, and the highest point in Georgia.

South Georgia

South Georgia is flat and has the Okefenokee Swamp National Wildlife Refuge, barrier islands, beaches, salt marsh, farmland, pecan groves, and historic Savannah.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #235 – Shadows and Reflections in Monochrome

February 10, 2023Posted in Birds, Photography, SunriseTagged Lens-Artists, Photo Challenge, Shadows and Reflections in Monochrome20 Comments

Patti’s challenge is to show shadows and reflections in monochrome. You may be thinking that black and white are two colors. Patti did some research and explains that black and white photos are really different shades of gray so they are considered monochrome for this challenge.

Our last challenge was from Donna who asked us to show messages in our photography. In my response I asked for guesses on where we spent our vacation last week. Those of you who guessed Florida are exactly right! We were on the Gulf Coast of Florida in Crystal River to be exact. I took these first three images while we were there and converted them to monochrome for Patti’s challenge.

The rest of my images are from some of places we have wandered over the years.

Many thanks to Patti for her challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #235 – Shadows and Reflections in Monochrome

Our host Donna has challenged us to search for messages in our photography

Wandering Dawgs is on a winter getaway this week. Can you guess where we are based on these messages?.

If you haven’t guessed where we are, never fear. The answer will be in a future post.

Lens Artists Photo Challenge #233 – One Lens Walk

January 24, 2023Posted in PhotographyTagged beach walk, Lens-Artists, One Lens Walk, Photo Challenge18 Comments

Anne of Slow Shutter Speed has asked us to choose a lens and go for a walk.

I grabbed my camera and 18-55mm lens and went for for a walk on the nearly deserted beach at the North End of Tybee Island, Georgia. I managed to time my walk between rain showers on a dreary, overcast January Sunday afternoon.

*I spotted these shoes beside the boardwalk to the beach. I hope someone took them off to walk barefoot on the beach and picked them up on their way back.*

I kept my shoes on for my walk. It was wonderful to walk on the sand and to hear the ocean waves. Any day at the beach is a good day.

I am grateful that in 2022 we were able to take not one but two fabulous cruises, enjoy a wonderful weekend with family attending our grandson’s high school graduation, and take a few short road trips. When we weren’t wandering we enjoyed being at home in Coastal Georgia.
