Another first Monday, so our photos today are from nature. Nature’s one of my favorite subjects, making it difficult to decide what photos to use. I went back a few summers to a day when I was meandering around the small lake near our house. It’s a wonderful place to get a bit of nature in the city but if I walk for exercise, I don’t take my iPad or camera because I stop too often. When I go for pictures, I know it will take some time to work my way around the lake.
I spotted the bird (probably a crane) and s/he was nice enough to stay put while I took some photos. The second photo is one of my favorites, my “Monet’s Lilies” picture. They’re both unedited and taken with my iPad. I like the not-quite-sharp, slight muted quality of both the shots, although it wasn’t something I did intentionally.
A happy Monday to you!
This, that and the other thing 
The second is my favorite with the soft coloration and reflections moving under the lily pads. Nicely done. Happy Phoneography Monday.

I love that shot of the bird/crane, standing back in the shade; there is a nice quality to that.
When I go out for a walk for exercise, I too leave my camera at home, though I always have my phone with me, but try not to use it on cardio walk days.
I don’t have a smartphone yet, so the camera on my flip phone isn’t that great. My husband tells me to go get an iPhone, so I’ll check that one of these days. I really only want one for the camera. 🙂

I love the water lilies
Happy Monday!!!
the only reason I have a phone is for the pocket camera
That will be me, too. 🙂
Thanks and same to you. Are you doing any writing these days? Haven’t seen you on FF lately, although I missed quite a bit since vacation in August.
Nice capture of the bird/crane. I like how its framed by the trees. 🙂
Thanks, Melissa, and thanks for visiting.
