2. Daily shots for the dailies forum on Dgrin

Dailies

These images are ones shot to post in the daily community on smugmug. I've been participating in this community for about twelve years. For the first few years, I tried to always post a shot taken either that day or the day before. Now, although I try to shoot everyday, I don't necessarily post the images on the same day they are shot.

A different perspective on the statue of the horses. Someone asked if the horses were meant to be wild horses and i believe they are. It truly is a magnificent statue, one I pass almost daily.<br /> <br /> Thanks for all the comments on the fireman climbing the ladder statue shot. I really appreciate your input. The week is nearly half over...hope yours is going well. Amazing group of shots today and i loved perusing them!

  • I'm not sure what they call this sport...riding the bikes and doing tricks at the skateboard park, but I love to watch these young guys practice. There is always so much going on. I liked this one because I think the background is so neat...a snow-capped Pike's Peak. I think it should be viewed in the larger sizes so you can see all the other stuff.<br /> <br /> Thanks for all the comments on my Garden of the Gods pic. I've got tons more shots from there. Thanks also to those of you who keep browsing through my various galleries and commenting on shots you find there. Always a pleasant surprise to see what you choose to comment upon.<br /> <br /> We enjoyed the Olympics coverage tonight. Those athletes in the winter games exhibit the most amazing courage and fearlessness. Thanks for your well wishes for Willoughby. He is definitely better today...no vomiting...just keeping him on the bland food diet for a bit. We've been worried about him even before this episode because his coat has gotten pretty dull and he's losing big chunks of hair. We had a complete physical with a total blood workup last week but everything on that looked good. I always give the dogs fish oil for their coats, but I'm going to have to try something else, I guess. He's such a sweetie and it was hard to see him feeling so bad. And, boy, does our car stink after he threw up all over it.

  • Freestyling - photographed at the skateboarding park in Colorado Springs. This guy was really good --- he could twirl his bike around a couple of times while he was airborne.<br /> <br /> I am really humbled by the response to my photos this week. You all are really the MOST supportive folks and I am very encouraged by all the nice comments. Thanks so much! I have taken so many photos in the last few weeks that I am running way behind in my processing and yesterday I discovered an entire file from last June that I had not processed. Hopefully, I'll make good progress on catching up tomorrow. Hope this day brings you some pleasure and satisfaction!
  • Snow in the Garden of the Gods near Colorado Springs; detail is best viewed in the largest sizes.<br /> <br /> Thanks to everyone who commented on my moon over PF Chang shot. Just finished watching the Olympic opening ceremonies, which certainly had some fine moments. I hope to go out shooting tomorrow if the weather cooperates a bit and our sheltie, Willoughby (who has been throwing up all day), is better. He got a couple of shots at the vets. We hope that will calm his system down. Not sure what is wrong with him, though.
  • Looking out the kitchen window the morning after a light snowfall. I think this one benefits from being viewed in the larger sizes. The spiky plants are the seedheads from a type of verbascum (mullein) that has either yellow or white flowers in the summer. That snow did not hang on those spikes very long. It was gone within about ten minutes of my taking this picture. I also have a lot more shots from this morning in my "Snowy Days" gallery, which is under the category of "Nature."<br /> <br /> Thanks so much for the comments on my shot from the Garden of the Gods. I'm still processing them and adding to the Garden of the Gods gallery, which is under the category of "Landscapes." My sympathies to all of you in the parts of the country that have gotten inundated with snow in the past week. I know you'll get some wonderful snow shots, but I don't envy you the digging out.
  • Snow in the Garden of the Gods in Colorado. I think this one is worth looking at in 3x. Spent the morning there shooting various scenes. It was very cold but beautiful.<br /> <br /> I'm pooped and going to post this and then hit the sack. Have a good day, everyone!
  • This was taken last year at the Denver Botanic Garden Light Show at the end of December, but, since I did not get the photos processed until after the New Year, I did not use them as my dailies. Since the season is once again upon us, I thought I might use a few of these shots for my dailies this year. If you live in the area, this light show is a wonderful one to see.<br /> <br /> Thanks so much for your comments on my shot of the oil refinery. I'm posting a bit early, as I must rise in the wee hours to go babysit my grandson until time for school, because his dad is having his nasal sinuses roter-rooted and my daughter will be with him. Hope you enjoy your day!
  • Another shot from the Botanic Garden Light Show last year - best viewed in the largest sizes<br /> <br /> Thanks to those of you who commented on the blue tree at the garden light show. The week has flown by, as usual, and we are almost to the weekend and I desperately need to come up with an idea for my annual Christmas card. Time's a'wastin'. Have a great day!
  • Having a little fun with my father-in-law's old trumpet.<br /> <br /> Thanks for the encouraging comments on the little yellow car. I have to say that there were even more fabulous shots on smugmug today than usual. So many shots that I would love to have taken myself, if I were only skilled enough. You folks set a very high standard! Hope you enjoy your Super Ball Sunday! I want both teams to win...will that work?
  • When I saw this bright yellow car that had the yellow flowers on the dash and the great reflection in the side window, I just had to shoot it.<br /> <br /> Thanks for the comments about my shot of the window that looked a lot like a picture on the wall. An incredible number of wonderful shots on smugmug today and I sure enjoyed browsing through them all.
  • View from a window - shot inside Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs<br /> <br /> Thanks so much for the feedback on the shot of the car repair place. I really appreciate your frank comments.
  • Inside Shove Chapel on the Colorado College Campus.<br /> <br /> Thanks to everyone who commented on my shot of the restaurant window in the Fine Arts Center. Yes, it is a lovely place to have a lunch or dinner. The view is wonderful, as is the food and service.
  • Shot in the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs during a very light snowfall - this does not show any of the dramatic rock formations in the park, but I liked the curve of the red rocks and the way the tree arched over the scene. I think it should be viewed in the larger sizes. Hope you all like it.<br /> <br /> Thanks for the nice comments on my PF Chang horse. It did snow here today and yesterday but we've only gotten a couple of inches. At least we don't have to shovel the driveway. Hope you have a good day!
  • View into the courtyard - taken at the Trading Post in the Garden of the Gods. We woke to light snow this morning with the mountains completely socked in and decided to drive to the Garden of the Gods to look for photo ops. I had my new replacement lens for the one I broke last week and very nearly broke the new one. I was stepping off the road on a slight downhill incline to get a better perspective for a shot of some rock formations. I was being very careful, in case the snow was slippery, but, in spite of that, my feet went out from under me and I fell hard on my butt and my elbow. Just barely managed to keep the camera from hitting the ground. I managed to scrape the skin off the elbow through a down coat and heavy sweatshirt. I'm pretty sore but ok. So, as you go looking for photo ops in the ice and snow, please be careful!<br /> <br /> Thanks for the comments on my shot of Heather. Also, thanks to those of you who look through my other galleries and comment on shots there. That is always a surprise and I appreciate every one of them. Hope you have a good Friday!
  • Starling - taken quite a long time ago and just discovered today as I was archiving shots to DVDs.<br /> <br /> Thanks for the response to my shot in the dentist's chair. I think it was Hilary who did a similar shot some time ago. I liked her shot a lot and decided to try to take one the next time I visited the dentist. I did ask permission before I took the shot. She was pretty surprised when I got out my camera and pointed it up at her. I'm going to print out a copy and take it in the next time I have to visit the dentist, which is, hopefully, some months away.<br /> <br /> Hope your weekend gives you all a chance to relax and have some fun! I'm still processing ballet shots and hope to finish over the weekend.
  • It's snowing again! - everytime it starts to snow, I'm unable to resist trying to capture the "perfect" snowstorm shot. Haven't done it yet, but I'm still trying.<br /> <br /> Thanks for the comments on the car wash picture. In smugmuggers' quest for a "daily", we leave no stones unturned and no opportunities uncaptured!
  • View from the dentist's chair - took this a while back and forgot about it. Rediscovered it and processed it.<br /> <br /> Thanks for the kind thoughts regarding the loss of my lens. Also, thanks for the comments on the shot of the hospital chapel. You all are great!<br /> <br /> Hope everyone has a good day! At least it is Friday!
  • Portrait of Megan<br /> <br /> Thanks again for all the comments on the pic of Megan airborne. Treat yourself to something nice today! You deserve it!!
  • Another shot of Megan - Megan is, indeed, very likely to become a professional ballerina. She is 15 years old.<br /> <br /> Thanks so much for your response to the previous shot of Megan. It was a privilege for me to get to shoot such a wonderfully talented dancer. She takes some classes from my daughter, so that is how I got the opportunity to shoot her and her friend, Michelle, who is also extremely talented.<br /> <br /> Have a good one!
  • Buckwheat, our cock-a-poo. I was driving the car and had the camera with me. We were waiting in a long line to get our car washed. I snapped a number of shots of Buckwheat. He's been difficult for me to photograph because of the white fur and his general "bad hair day" look. I rather liked this one, though.<br /> <br /> Thanks so much for the encouraging comments on the burger king shot. Yes, that was my hubby on the far left in the shot.
