Foto Friday: Out of Place

I am so sorry about the delay in getting this up, but most of you know that blogger has been down. So this did not publish when it was supposed to. Can you say wordpress switch?

I loved last week’s Foto Friday.  It might have something to do with the fact that my favorite color is blue or it just might be the fantastic shots that were shared.  I love that people from different styles and backgrounds are joining in.  There are point and shoot users, DSLR users, PS, PSE, Picasa, and everything in between.  Holy cow.  I am not a big blog, either.  That just goes to show you how photography can reach everyone.

So keep sharing those photos.  If you have been thinking about joining in but haven’t, you really should.  It is fun to challenge yourself.

Last week this image of robin eggs jumped out at me.  The road goes ever ever on captured these perfectly.  Look at the crispness of the shot.  The perfection of the nest.  I love how the nest’s texture stands out, but the color blends easily with the background to make the blue pop even more.  Fabulous!!!

This image was taken by and belongs to The road goes ever ever on.  I am just featuring it because it is awesome.

Now this week’s theme is “out of place”.  I had actually taken two photos this week that I thought would fit, but I am just going to share one.

Yep, it’s a boat.  In a yard.  With crap growing all around it.  That my friends, is my neighbors yard.  I set my tripod on my porch and zoomed in with my 70-300mm lens to the maximum. 

If that isn’t out of place, I don’t know what is.  I had actually almost forgotten that boat was there because I see it so much that it isn’t out of place for me any longer.  I was playing outside with the kids and thought “Duh!” 

I am sure my neighbors think I am crazy, but I am not the one with a boat in my yard.  For the record it may look like a clever planter, but it isn’t.  They used to actually use this boat and needed to fix it.  So they put it in there yard many, many years ago to get around to working on it.  This is what happens when you keep putting things off. 

If you are new to Foto Friday and have questions, please read Foto Friday FAQ.  Please don’t feel apprehensive about joining in.  I would love to see your shot (whether it is with the theme or not – it’s just a suggestion).

 

Next week’s theme is “old”.

Now I can’t wait to see what shots you are sharing this week!

  4. LOL! You are so funny, my friend. Gotta love neighbors, huh! Nice shot, though. I need to write myself a note to remember to link up.

  5. Love the boat. Mates have one, but they use it as a sandbox.
    Am back in one spot, so will link up next week, although think I may pass as old
