Moments to Memories
Photography
Put your camera away and enjoy the moment!

"All my life I have loved photographs. Whether old or new, complex or simple, posed or unexpected, the very moment in time they capture is of great interest to me.  What is photographed and put to paper will never be seen again like that moment in time.  My goal is to capture these moments, so they may be remembered in the days, years, or decades to come."  Linda K. Toups

2006 December Photos

Never one to stop taking photos anywhere and everywhere, these are some of my favorites so far this month.  For those of you looking for something unique to do with your Christmas lights next year, try what my dad did.  Take your Christmas lights and put them up inside glass insulators and line them on your porch railing!  Is actually quite pretty and of course provided me with the fun of trying to take interesting pictures of such a sight.  You may click on any photo for an enlarged view.  Thanks for looking!

Reed House - Chattanooga, TN. Not bad for hand held 1/3 shutter.

Reed House, Chattanooga, TN. Or shutter or 1/1.6!

On the floor looking up at chandelier, wrong lense, but still an interesting shot!

My own handiwork with Christmas lights.

House lights with reflections in pond. If water level was higher, porch also would have been reflected.

Wouldn't you love this view from your balcony?

I just love Christmas trees.

Parties from the outside, always make you want to go inside.

Christmas lights stuffed up inside of glass insulators, then set side by side on a railing.

Looking straight down on one.

Finches are pretty in the winter without the black crown on their heads.

Cardinals always make me think of winter.

Buzzards make me think I'm eating too much.

One of those moments where the light was just right so you saw something you've never seen before in the day to day around you.

Sycamore pod.

Such interesting texture to these leaves that have not fallen off the tree.

I can't belive this worked. This is a timed exposure with me in center looking at a full length mirror! Steady hands.

This lady loved hats!
