I took this outside in my backyard about a half hour ago as it was getting dark... this cloud was so pretty! And the second pic is the reflection of it in a large puddle (which resulted from a large thunderstorm we had this evening).
Let me just say that I love where I live... there are so many opportunities for photographic creativity. (I'm not saying I'm there yet, but I see in my mind how I want my photos to turn out, and I'm working towards that goal!) Here are some of my favorite shots from today... they include lampposts and flags, churches and other majestic buildings. From Keswick Village, a quaint little neighborhood near our home: Views of the sky taken in NE Philly: I liked how the street sign went with the picture: This flag was in NE Philly. It struck me as a very contradictory image... the American flag, a symbol of freedom, behind bars. Churches and buildings in or near Ardmore, PA: These next two were also taken in or near Ardmore. I liked the patterns and shades of green on this tree: Another lamppost:
The first three pictures were taken in Philly. Bridge near Center City: I just liked the look of this for some reason and the colors: Flag in NE Philly: Two flowers in our yard: Then last night just before sunset the colors in the sky were amazing. These were taken in our neighborhood. A few more in our neighborhood after sundown:
Pretzels: Sun, sky and trees (in or near Pottstown, PA): Scenery and structures in or near King of Prussia, PA: Buildings and structures, King of Prussia Mall: Houses and structures in or near Philadelphia, PA:
