Attention Walmart shoppers..

I owe two pictures today, one is from yesterday.  We're upstate for Sam's birthday and took a quick trip last night to Walmart to pick up water.  I took one inside and one outside.

Flowers

Both shots were in full sun.  I tried to only have a very small plane in focus.  I don't exactly think I accomplished that but I like the results, none the less!

Laundry day!

The temperature was supposed to climb to over 100*F today, so instead of heating the house by running the dryer I hung the laundry on the line.  It was almost dry by the time I got to the bottom of the basket!  The sweat in my eyes caused everything to look blurry!

This first shot was the last shot I took at the fireworks on the Fourth.  Technically, it's not was I was trying for.  I looked at image afterwards and thought, nah, it's not any good.  Then Meghan looked at it and she said she liked it. I saw the following quote on one of my 365 cohorts posts and thought this is what  Scott Adams was talking about.

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.

 Art is knowing which ones to keep." ~ Scott Adams

                             
 

These next two shots are copycats from another 365er! Painting!  This kind of painting, I can do! 

Unfocused fireworks!

I followed the instructions I found online for shooting fireworks.  They said to manually focus.  I did better on some than others, but since it's unfocused week, not all my shots were a total loss!

Unfocused..now how hard can this be?

When I saw that the theme for this week was unfocused, I thought I was in good shape.  After all, lots of my images turn out that way!  But to get an unfocused image to look creative and artistic is an artform.  So maybe it'll be a bit more challenging than I first thought.  Today's post is actually one you may have seen before.  It's one from my March trip to Maui.  My only regret is that Kevin was on the right side of the frame instead of on the left side, walking out.
