Dreamy Light
theme – natural light
I chose a photo from a trip to the Florida Keys. It has lovely natural light on the palm but also just has a dreamy quality about it.

A Familiar Face
theme – familiar faces
Oh Sport. You really know how to make someone feel guilty. Those sad little puppy dog eyes staring at me, begging me to give some love and attention. Wait a minute… those are Cheeze-Its in that bowl. Is this just a trick to sneak over and eat my snack? Don’t look so innocent. I’m on to you now. By the way mister, you are a dog not a cat, so get off the table for the thousandth time. -Diane
Neglected in Key West
Theme – neglected
After being unimpressed by Key West, it actually turned out to be great for the photo activities on my list. The vacation with my family was wonderful but photographically, I felt the blahs. After sightseeing for 2 days and taking less than a dozen photos, I knew I needed some inspiration. After a texting war with Kim (my Photo Friday Friend), I jotted down all the Photo Friday Themes I was missing and needed to catch up on. It kind of became a fun treasure hunt. I like the idea of having a random list of words in my camera bag for inspiration. – Diane
Doggone Dreaming
theme – at rest
My dog Bailey loves to sit on the couch and hang her little head over the back pillow… resting and doggy dreaming. I used photoshop and liked the effect I achieved playing with the exposure. – KIM
Yankee’s Opening Day
theme – distance
This is my first time to a Yankee game, the new Yankee stadium and an opening day for professional baseball. The Yankees were playing the Red Sox (big rivalry!) and you could feel the excitement as everyone entered the stadium. My top picture was my first glimpse of the field… so cool. You could see them preparing the field and warm ups going on. Then the climb to the upper deck, grabbing our beer and dogs and getting to the seats. As you can see, distance was the how I viewed the game but thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. One to check off the bucket list – Kim
Nothing Better…
theme – candid
by Kim
The theme this week is candid – my favorite kind of shots. Catching a moment on the softball field or dance floor of my kids, getting a glimpse of friends working together on Harvest Drive – the moments where I started to love photography!
This picture was a taken a few weeks ago with my smart phone. The quality was not so great, because we were inside a restaurant, but there is nothing better than seeing your kids laughing. My remedy was to put it into photoshop and play with filters. I used the pastel filter which I felt enhanced the photo. –KIM
Springing?
theme: Spring by Kim
My first winter in New Jersey has been 98% with snow on the ground since the day I moved in late November. Other than getting used to the coldness in contrast to Florida Sunshine, it has been a beautiful landscape. Peaceful, reflective, crisp are all words to describe the winter as long as I’m not driving in it!! I am however ready to thaw out.
The sprouting bulbs I noticed last week – what a surprise! The first sign of spring. This shot reminds me of the Secret Garden where they plant the bulbs in the dead garden with hopes of what Spring will bring. Of course it snowed again the day before spring began, but that little sign gives me hope that a new season is on it’s way!

PS: Oh, I saw a robin in my pine tree too – made me smile
Old Tour Jeep
theme – neglected
I was taking a watercolor class at Flamingo Gardens last year and in the lot we parked, was this old treasure. It was one of their tour jeeps that has been quite neglected – filled with giant spider webs and quietly biding time in its grassy home. I love the colors and couldn’t resist snapping a photo after class! – Kim
old friends
theme – familiar faces
It is so nice to see a familiar face – even more so after time has passed. The two “Caitlins” above danced for many years together, but my daughter had to transfer dance schools to keep dancing her freshman year. Now a junior in college and her friend Caitlin just graduated college and an irish dance instructor herself, so it was great to see her dancers and leadership at the performance we attended. – Kim
