Last week I showed you the day photos of our trip to the Harbour. These are the shots I took of the sunset and after the sun went down.
I decided to try some artsy shots for the after dark photos. Something different and more interesting than just straight shots in the dark! I call these 'Glamour Shots'. It was pitch black out when I took these, so I'm very happy with the details I captured.
And back on the home front, a brand new toy to play with!! This is called the Phantom 3 and it's a remote control aerial drone equipped with live video streaming right to the phone!!
Here are a couple snaps of the lake from way way above! So Cool!! I live just on the right hand side of that strange building with the triangle shape, behind the small collection of trees.
Simply can't wrap it up without some baby squirrels and birds, so here we go.
Oh good grief, would you look at this baby squirrel!!
I took a whole series of photos of this fellow with his two siblings and him Mom. A large family for squirrels, as they usually only birth one at a time, sometimes two, rarely three. They played and talked and ran, oh what fun!
That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.
This is absolutely beautiful and so delicate. It just has such a gentle, romantic feel to it. :)X

Best wishes.

Simply lovely & so femininely chic & vintage. The sweet lady photo is so nostalgic, and loved the tiny postage stamps held with the clothes pin. So many beautiful layers, and details, a feast for the eyes, and all of it combines so perfectly together. That's a skill that lots of us don't have (well, I DON'T!). Always enjoy your wonderful photography, again, you have the 'eye to see'. The night shots were splendid and I LOVED the sunsets. Adorable critters, and TFS the wonderful card, and the awesome photographs. Hugs
ReplyDeleteAn amazing make, I adore that little butterfly tucked in there! Seriously though, her expression on that card? Hilarious. Definitely someone who stole the last slice of chocolate cake. And then you melted me with a super cute baby squirrel! Cara x
ReplyDeleteAnother masterpiece Pamellia, gorgeous papers with stunning lace and pretty flowers, love the colour tones you have used.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos again, you do amazing shots, love the new toy!

This is gorgeous Pamellia, I love that image and all of the feminine touches, so beautiful! Fantastic sunset photos!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Tammy
Fabulous Pamellia!! I love that you can get so many beautiful elements on one card and still be beautiful! All you photos are so wonderful, love looking at them :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous card with beautiful elements! :) I loved your phantom 3 and those shots are admirable! :)
ReplyDeleteSuchi xx
Wow! Your new tool is fantastic, Pamellia, and perfect for a photography bug! It will be fun seeing the shots you capture with it.
ReplyDeletedoesn't it just seem miraculous the way those vivid colors light up the sky as the sun has completely set! I took some of our sunset but the sun was still up. It was 8:30PM, and all the clouds in the EAST were radiating and reflecting the golden hues of the setting sun. In the West, things were slightly grayish-orange because of the humidity and rain - but the East decided to be just as dazzling as the west on this day - I always enjoy Florida's skies - no matter what time of year, time of day, or weather - it's always fascinating to me!
Your lovely wildlife captured so beautifully. I suppose I should say something about your incredibly feminine card! LOL I like the painted black chipboard to provide a little outline of the dainty details, and the sweetness of "cherish" in your creation. Anyone receiving this Beauty will feel cherished for sure! I hope you enjoy a lovely week-end, my friend!
hugs,

Beautiful card so soft and feminine love all the lace and that little clothes pin holding the tiny tags . Always so much detail that I have to go back for a second look . Lovely photos of your beautiful surroundings looks so peaceful and serene .

ReplyDeleteGoodness, sooo very pretty and elegant Pamellia!! Uber gorgeous all the way. Have fun with the drone - I'm not sure whether to be negative or positive about those but have seen an incredible video made using one in Antarctica that kind of won me over. Looking forward to seeing your results. Nicola x
ReplyDeleteOh my this is so enchanting and angelic Pamellia, the soft colours, the image and flowers are so beautiful, I try so hard to study your designs to try and pick up as many idea as I can but it will to no avail as your work is one of a kind as it should be but your inspiration is well appreciated Pamellia.
