Our Word View - Hideaway

What is Our Word View?  A collaboration between two friends who lost touch over the years but have reconnected online.  We share a love of the ocean, photography, quotes, animals and family.  Often times our photographic interpretations for the word of the week are very similar.

This week the word hideaway was chosen for our photographic interpretation.  I hope you will go over to Our Word View and see what Liz shares this week. 

This was a challenge for me.  I have not been out with my camera much lately due to new work commitments and I couldn't wrap my mind around what image would work for hideaway...that is until I looked through some photos I took on a walk through the Ellisville Harbor State Park.  Mid way through the walk we came to a building that once housed the rangers who oversee the property.  I thought then as I do now that it would be a great hideaway for someone wanting to disappear for a while.  By the looks of things no one had been in the building in quite a long time.  Such a shame.  

Very interesting property. I would love to know more about it's history and the reason why it now seems to be abandoned.  

Peace!

My first inclination for this word was some sort of picture of my daughter n.  She has grown into her gregarious personality.  As a little one she was very slow to warm up to people.  I am happy for her that while maintaining a cautious streak she is able to be outgoing.  The thing is my family is almost always the first inclination for these weekly posts!  As I was perusing my photos from the trip n and I took to Heritage Plantation in Sandwich I came across one of my images taken in the auto museum.  The curators had an old hollywood meets rockstar theme going on.  They used beautiful screen printed sails throughout the display.  It was very interesting.  I would say that Mick certainly fits the bill for the word gregarious.  What do you think?

Peace!

n and I spent a day at The Heritage Plantation.  What a beautiful place to walk and practice the art of photography.  We only covered a portion of the grounds.  I definitely found myself drawn to the flowers and was intrigued by the plants that were allowed to go to seed in the gardens.  There is both a fragility and strength in these images.  

Peace!

There is something unmatched by the excitement a photographer feels after spending time photographing a subject...any subject and then reviewing those shots.  I am one who takes numerous shots and only looks at those shots once they are downloaded onto my Aperture program. It is in this program that I weed out the good from the bad.  The excitement begins when you see you have captured something special.  Something you didn't even realize was evident in the moment you took the shot.  Here are a few shots that I found after a session outside.

Peace!
