Very Yucky Yucca

A friend of mine told me he really liked the picture I took of my yucca plants from the ground looking up. I told him my photography instructor said it was good, but I should have shot it it vertically so the street light wasn't in it. So, I decided to take some more pictures the other day, but the plants had already started to turn. This morning, most of the flowers had blown or dropped off, so I am glad I took the pictures when I did. They aren't great but my friend asked to see them so here they are.

Photo Assignment #2

Our second photography assignment was to take a picture straight on and then take pictures of the same thing at different angles to try to find the best angle. I decided to take pictures of the yucca plant in my front yard. One, it is stationary, and two, my friend wanted me to send pictures when it bloomed because she was curious as to what color it was. I also took a couple of pictures of my pansies. And, Sammy actually sat still long enough for me to get a couple of shots of him looking out the window. Luckily for me, he loves to look out the window!

We were also supposed to continue "playing" with the various program modes, so that of course meant more portrait mode shots of my boys.

I love how Charlie crosses his paws.

Once again, Sammy feels I have taken enough pictures.
