Beautiful Red
I saw this really beautiful (nearly perfect) apple laying in our fruit basket the other day and I thought I should take a picture of it...
This is just another one of those pictures that are completely random - and I must admit that I am HUNGRY to go SOMEWHERE and take some great photos!! You can only take so many pictures at your own home, or in your own town! So this is pretty much the result of that "urge" to take new and interesting photos!

Well, I was supposed to be in Scotland this weekend, but it was postponed, so instead of stalking Red Deer in the middle of nowhere, I went to Richmond park instead..:O))
At first the deer were doing a good job of hiding from me and everybody else, but then this one popped up....quite clearly his camouflage wasn't up to scratch lol..:O))
I hope everybody is having an awesome weekend..:O))
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ~ The Red Deer (Cervus elaphus), commonly called hart in the United Kingdom, is one of the largest deer species. The Red Deer inhabits most of Europe, the Caucasus Mountains region, Asia Minor and parts of western and central Asia. It also inhabits the Atlas Mountains region between Algeria and Tunisia in northwestern Africa, being the only species of deer to inhabit Africa. Red Deer have been introduced to other areas including New Zealand and Argentina. In many parts of the world the meat (venison) from Red Deer is widely used as a food source.
Across a beautiful valley..
omewhere in between Gwaldam and Almora near Kausani and Baijnath in Uttranchal, India. As the Monsoons were a little early, paddy sowing was in full swing all along the route…..The 90-km drive from Gwaldam to Almora carries you along one of the most beautiful valleys……I just want to go back….and I will!

10 Principles of Beautiful Photography
Wow I have a lot of reading for you today! I hope you have a coffee, a stiff drink, and/or some good music to accompany you!
First, my new photo today is entitled "The Verdant Bough". The photo was shot at this really cool place in Wyoming I found while running around Yellowstone with my rig. I'm glad I didn't fall down that cliff while shooting, but I guess that goes without saying.
Second, I had an article posted today in Smashing Magazine. It was originally titled 10 Principles of Beautiful Photography. That links here to my website, or you can visit the Smashing Magazine as well, although it's filled with a negative nancies down at the bottom with their own flavor of commentary. No worries... I have a thick skin and I enjoy all kinds of feedback. Both articles are the same, but I like the one here on the site a little since I think the photos are best appreciated in their larger size. The eye needs to surf across them to accept all the light levels and not let your brain reject them. It's a longer diatribe... but part of the reason this blog is soooo wide... 900 pixels across for each shot.

Endless love
I Want to Know What Love Is
Julio Iglesias
Romantic Classics
I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when Im older
Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
I through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colde
