How about some spring photos from the SUBURBS instead of wild areas?

[F.Gordon]

A few shots from my Photo Expedition deep into the wild suburbs of the Denver metro area. Still too much snow in the Colorado wild areas, so I looked for signs of Spring in the various Denver suburbs…..

Nothing says "Spring" like bringing out your cherry Chevy. :P



Perty Pink Flowers. This was shot in a “wild area”. I like taking shots of graffiti and tags. This was in an industrial area I wouldn’t venture in during the night…..



Have to include at least one bird photo. It's a law or something. :eyes:



I call this “Yellow”. How original. :crazy:



Sunflowers. My batteries died right after this shot so I didn’t get around to composing a better shot…. (lesson # 15: Always bring extra batteries):(

1. Over sharpened image of a Balloon in the air

In the Bluegrass region of Ky.

[F.Gordon]

2. I always wanted to take Balloon pics. Sooooo colorful

There are a few huge launch festivals around here in the summer but you have to get up at like 4:00am. I live too close to Buckley ANG. They'd send off a few F16's if a Hot Air Balloon flew around here....

3. We have a few balloonist in this area.

Most of them seem to like to fly on the south end of town because there is more green space, underground powerlines and more interesting terrain.

4. Love the Chevey.

[F.Gordon]

7. Spotted it from 3 blocks away. Mint condition.

Beautiful color.

12. My dad had a red 57 Impala

It was hot.

[Longgrain]

5. If you insist. The big blue house where my mad postings are coming from...

In the middle of no where MA...





And one I already posted before, from Amherst, MA

[F.Gordon]

6. Love the blue

Everything here is white, brown, or taupe. Or, so it seems. Is no where MA anywhere near any town MA? Think I had lunch there once at the we got food diner. :D

11. Too bad the next photo contest theme can't be "Blue".

Rather than green.

[F.Gordon]

13. Wasn't that the theme? Blue?

}(

I'm always screwing up.

[Longgrain]

14. Nah, I think it was orange.

Can never figure out these photo contests.

Dammit!

8. I really like how your eye caught the shadow of the tree ...

... and made it part of the photo. Maybe I'm assuming too much, but it indicates to me that you "thought outside of the box" and paid attention to something we too often mentally throw away. Bravo. We live in an abundant Universe and it's up to us to open our own eyes. (But it's nice when we get help like this.)

[Longgrain]

9. You mean the cemetery photo...

I was just passing by, saw the shadow, paused, thought about for a sec, raised camera, said "NAH", began to move on, looked again, said what the heck, clicked, smiled, then went on...

[TahitiNut]

10. Yup. Nice catch. Good eye.

:thumbsup:

15. I really like the tree. If you don't do

a painting based on that... I am gonna slap ya.

[Longgrain]

18. Most of my paintings lately have been looking like that...

(Sorry, not the best photo)

[F.Gordon]

24. Tell me you play the piano and write music......

... and I'm going to throw up. Tell me you're a published author and I'll hang myself. I'm envious.

I've been flying through life at such a furious pace over the last 20 years I haven't taken time to do the things I enjoy doing.

[Longgrain]

28. Well I have written at least one novel, but northing's published yet...

Other than that, I'm completely talentless in music, acting and dancing.

[smurfygirl]

19. what's that thing in the sky in the first picture?

a balloon or something? It's weird looking.

[TahitiNut]

20. Using VERY sophisticated graphics software, it looks like this ...

[Longgrain]

29. It's actually the daytime moon.

Unfortunately I couldn't get much detail on it.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

16. Little Houses on the Hillside

Little houses all the same...
and the people go in boxes, and they all come out just the same...

[F.Gordon]

21. Aint the truth

Word.

I watch many of my neighbors: Garage door opens. They drive in and disappear from the world. Then the Garage door opens in the morning and they drive off to do whatever it is they do.....

[TahitiNut]

25. Bat Caves.

:shrug:

[F.Gordon]

26. Hmmm... could be

But I never see them out at night and I'm the neighborhood vampire/night stalker. Unless they sneak out in their stealth bat mobile. :smoke:

BTW: My post heading should have read "Ain't that the truth" for those of you that can't decipher my cryptic posts... ;)

17. My sort of suburban garden.

[F.Gordon]

22. It's a hell of a lot nicer than our suburban garden

We have nothing blooming yet. Well, weeds..... they're coming up....

[micrometer_50]

23. A spring shot from Tucson

[F.Gordon]

27. I have no idea what that is.. but it's quite the looker

Are you sure that's an earthly plant? Have any of the people in this neighborhood been acting strangely lately?

:thumbsup:

[micrometer_50]

30. I think it's a variety of Palo Verde.

Here's close up

[alfredo]

31. Violets are a sure sign of spring.
