A Random Collection within August




Well, I have to try to place a few picture within my writes but I thought I would place in a few pictures that I took over the weekend, It's rather hard to describe them all. It goes from a building that now is nearly finished to work that has been being done at the university as well as the university grounds a pond that I am rather fond of.

There is relevance with some and then some are just simply enjoyable. Within a picture there is always a story behind it. I must give a try to doing this placing of a few pictures within my blog but I thought I would just load these up.

  5. Never would have thought of that as Dali is something however I just drove slightly out of town and capture it from a farm. The farm ironically used to be a house apparently and it was left to go.

  17. Interesting assortment, Jack. I've often wondered how you are able to shoot them at some of the angles shown. I guess one must understand photography. Thank you for sharing! :)

  18. Thanks, I just enjoy it, no pro here I just love taking shots when time does allow it. And yeah since day one I have always skewed them. There is one picture from a friend that I am still waiting for she as I would like to write a poem to it when and if I do receive it, she hails from Australia and has a great picture of recent.

  27. This is so cool!! I love old barns and buildings... especially when they show character and age.. Wow.. this is is literally trying to defeat gravity as of yet.. Look at how it bends and folds... GREat Shot!! Oh yeah and I love the mustard looking plants in front of it and how the vines look on the side... :-)

    ReplyDelete

  31. I love it!! I would of thought you took it through a window up close.. :-)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  33. I have not posted many photos that I have taken as in albums on my page yet,, I should take some time to do just that,, I guess I kind of like randomly doling them out so to speak in blogs and challenges and to go with my writings or poetry..

  34. I myself literally believe it's really all within the writes, yet at the same time we all do find that image something that brings about something. There are many that literally will write something and it does inspire something, perhaps a word, a picture, or part of my day. As truly it's all within expression. Words...it's really the foundation of our own very thoughts and that does have some great premise to it. And I am certainly not the only one. There are many that write in a manner that just literally flows.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I have always loved to write to express myself,, but there was a time when I did not feel the "flow" of words and became somewhat "trapped" within myself, probably by my own doing, so to speak... I found the camera a great tool to express just what I felt in what I captured,, time and time again.. It didn't have to speak to anyone else that way it did to me, but for me, the camera as an extension of me became a release....Now I have picked up the "pen" again so to speak... I think I will always use both forms to express what I feel, think, or what is on the inside, and just to share,,, I love to share so much...

  36. To each their own, I found that when I just flow with things much like playing a piano, it just comes....there is not a perfect write, I don't think their is such a thing. And there is something write within what you have just wrote, "I picked up a pen"....how one could just flow with that and I do believe that it's an art yet I do like to do other things on here as well as I am not much of one for television. What I find is that what is of value is what one enjoys in doing. And your nickname obviously illustrates your passion within expression.


    So there! :) I don't send out to everyone, I find that I enjoy sending to "Friends of friends". But there too is something that to each their own.

  37. :-) well said. I'm not one for T.V. I love the outdoors, nature, and life too much to waste it sitting in front of what my Grandma used to call the "Noise Box".. Smiles.. Thank you for the comments Sir Jack.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Dawn, I love outdoors as well, thank you for your comments as well but I am not old enough to be called "Sir". I have been called many things but Jack is the name and right now I have been altered a little with my routine as I have been on a pain med for the last two weeks as I had my knees fixed, however there are a few more test I have to do next week.....

    Jack < ------------------- he has a tendancy to be a little witty within the morning. :)

  39. Sue this city here has a university that literally is within it's largest expansion phase in the history of the University. It's not as easy anymore to get some shots however the I would have liked to get more but before you know it you have either a foreman of the construction company indicating that he would like to allow pictures to be taken but due to it being apart of their contract with the University he can't allow it - but back in August I was able to get a few.

  40. LoL Jack, he he... Sir was not meant as a comment regarding age.. It was a thing of respect actually.. Good Morning Jack. Have a great day ahead. Good Luck with the tests and hope your Knees will feel better soon. May you be blessed in all things.
