Two white geese

I snapped this image at the perfect moment as one of these white geese shook its feathers out to clear its wings. Made for a nice image! I like the color combination of green, brown, white, and orange (beak). I thought that I wasn't going to get any worthy images on this day with brown lake waters after many rains. But, I am glad I took my camera with me just in case.

Seven goslings in a row (more or less)

These little guys were yellow and were starting to get their brown color as you might be able to see in this image if you look close. These are Canadian goslings and will grow to be brown with some white markings and black beaks. These were all a part of the same nest and they were following their mother and father as quickly as their short legs could take them!

Hall of mirrors in Versailles, France

Hall of Mirrors

I was visiting France just at the outskirts of Paris in Versailles. I was at the palace (turned museum) of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette conquered by Napoleon Bonaparte. I reached the famed Hall of Mirrors with exquisite chandeliers that looked to be of crystal. Since then, the chandeliers have been updated to have electricity and no longer burn so many candles! The entire hall was gorgeous! It opened to one side with windows through which sunlight reached. Both sides were intermittently lined with mirrors, but that's not all. There were pedestals with antique art of busts of famed persons of the time period sitting atop the pedestals. The room was crystal (silver), golden, and white. Complemented with sunlight or just the dazzle of the chandelier light, it was an amazing effect. I am sure some of the grandest events of the 15th-16th century had been hosted in the hall of mirrors...I just wish I could look back in time to see it!

Corpus Christi, Texas

Corpus Christi Ocean Waves

Photographed on the beach at Corpus Christi, TX as the ocean waves crested and moved toward shore. The key to getting a good ocean picture is to stand at an angle so that the horizon line and the waves are not completely horizontal and there is some depth and drama to the photo. I enlarged this print to a 16x20 and the deep blue water with the frothy, white waves always get oohs and aahs, especially when I get to the part about sunset...

White floral in the wild

White Floral in the Wild

I photographed this image of a floral growing in the wild at the time of midafternoon to late afternoon sunlight. Nice, isn't it?
