Summer Stock Sunday

This is the inaugural Sunday for this very interesting meme created and hosted by Robin at Around the Island.

Here's my offering for Sunday May 31, 2009:




This is a photo I took in August, 2001, in Cancun. It was the first time we went to Mexico on vacation and we enjoyed ourselves very much.

I did some photo-editing to improve the quality of the photo. First I applied a style that called for fading of color from top to bottom. And then I applied the Poster Edges filter.

Hope you like it.

Robin's meme starts today at 5:00 PM EST. Go on over to her blog to visit other participants.

SOOC Sunday

Jan of Murrieta 365 is the hostess of "Straight Out Of the Camera" Sunday.

These Irises were growing in the front yard of someone's house on Main Street, Flushing. I did crop this photo, Jan, I hope that's all right... :)

Do you ever take a photo that you love; it comes out so well, (straight from the camera), that you're not tempted to do anything with it. It's wonderful and you want to share it. I've decided to start a new meme - Straight Out Of the Camera Sunday. I'll host it here, each Sunday. So put your thinking cap on, scroll through your files and decide what to post. The subject is open, no weekly theme, just have fun.
What are the rules? On any Sunday you can post any photo you like (it must be one of your own) that hasn’t been tweaked or altered in any way (cropping is OK). In other words Straight Out Of the Camera.

My World Tuesday

Flushing Town Hall, Queens, N.Y.



The Flushing Town Hall is the home of the Flushing Council on Culture and the Arts. It is a revitalizing force for its community and a creative catalyst for developing and promoting the arts throughout the Borough of Queens in New York City.

Erika of Purple Photo Passion has a new meme. Check it out here.

These took close to 3 months to bloom. But it was worth it, no?

~Ask a deeply religious Christian if he’d rather live next to a bearded Muslim that may or may not be plotting a terror attack, or an atheist that may or may not show him how to set up a wireless network in his house. On the scale of prejudice, atheists don’t seem so bad lately.~
