Happy Monday! Here’s another photo from last week’s trip to Powell Gardens.
Photo of the Day: ‘Round and ‘Round
Author: Lindy
My name is Lindy, I'm in my 20s, and I have a passion for creativity! I love photography, graphic design, travel, cycling, and trying new things. I have a list of "30 goals before I'm 30," which include trying things like rock climbing, going on a mission trip, visiting Italy, and learning to sew. So far I've completed 15 of the 30 goals with 3 years to go!
Photo of the Day: Monet’s Pond
This beautiful scene reminds me of something Monet would have enjoyed painting – minus the water lilies of course. (Those were in my photo from Wednesday.)
Question: Does anyone know what the little pink flowers are in the foreground? They remind me of poppies, but I thought they were red.
Photo of the Day: A Great Gift
I served as the photographer for an important event at the American Cancer Society yesterday – they received a check for $100,000 from Black & Veatch for our Kansas City Hope Lodge, a facility where cancer patients can stay free of charge during treatment. I got to hang out with the Secret Service and this famous man below. Do you recognize him? (Hint: If you live in Missouri or you’re big into U.S. Politics, you should probably know him.) Shamefully, I probably wouldn’t have recognized him if he strolled by me on the street until yesterday.
Speaking of donations to the American Cancer Society, Relay For Life is just one week away and I’m still fundraising! If you’d like to purchase a print of one of my photos, please visit my etsy site. 100% of proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.
Photo of the Day: Kermit the Frog?
Why, hello little guy!
Photo of the Day: Waterfall Garden
If you took a guess at yesterday’s photo, the correct answer is the Chapel at Powell Gardens just outside of Kansas City. Powell Gardens is home to this chapel, several types of flower gardens, fountains and water gardens, vegetable gardens, trails, and so much more. It’s such a beautiful place to visit that I’ve got about a week’s worth of photos to show you!
Photo of the Day: Name that Place
Can you name this beautiful structure? I visited it yesterday and got some gorgeous photos of the surrounding area, which I’ll be sharing over the next several days. Aren’t you in suspense now?
Photo of the Day: Red Beauty
Thanks to the former homeowners, we have a beautiful rose bush blooming in our front yard!
Photo of the Day: Free Love Van
I’m a day behind on posting a photo, but yesterday was so busy. We started the day at 5 a.m. when we woke up to participate in the Hospital Hill run with a few friends. My husband and I ran the 10k in about 57 minutes, which I thought was pretty good considering all of the hills. I placed 169/1189 women. Check out my friend Julie’s blog to see photos and read more about it. After that our group had brunch at a cute downtown restaurant, then we went with Julie to the Liberty Arts Festival. The weather was gorgeous, and we enjoyed that the festival wasn’t overwhelmingly large. Although we didn’t purchase anything, it was fun to look at all the local artists’ talent. And all of that happened before 1 p.m. Below is my favorite piece of “art” from the art fest!
Photo of the Day: Another Shot of My Flower Garden
I love this bright, beautiful (and interactive!) flower growing in my garden. Do you know what kind of flower it is?
In case you missed the others this season….
Photo of the Day: Celebration at the Station
I’ve always struggled with getting good fireworks photos, but I think this year’s Celebration at the Station was a success. I used a tripod and had my camera setting on a high ISO, wide aperture, and fairly slow shutter speed (1/6 sec.). This is one of my favorites from the evening. What do you think? Is there anything I could have done to improve it?
