Port Allen, LA⎯Friday, Nov 7th
 |
| "Friday Night Lights" with my friend, Bridget. We (she) drove across the river to Port Allen where we watched tugboats and ships go by. B taught me a few tricks I didn't know and I think it has reignited my love for photography. The State Capitol is on the left. I kept seven photos out of 103, so I might post a few more at a later date. |
 |
| American Coot. Out of 200+ shots, I kept this one and the one below. I have gotten very cut-throat on what I toss and what I keep. |
 |
| A little fall color, finally. |
 |
| Brown Pelican, Louisiana State Bird |
 |
| I first shot this couple surreptitiously from the back. Ha! Then I got the nerve to ask permission. |
 |
| They were so cool about me shooting them. The girl reminded me of my good friend, Jo, from high school. The vocals and guitar work were really good. |
 |
| Small beach on Lake Pontchartrain at Fountainebleau State Park. Debbie from It's All About Purple inspired me to take some timed couple shots! |

Thanks, Anni!
Lovely photos of the scenery and the coot! Very cool shots of the couple, and I really liked your couple-shot as well. Debbie is always inspiring with great ideas!
ReplyDelete"Taught you a few trick" eh?
ReplyDeletegiggle giggle
Of course...beautiful shots
You know I love that shot of you and the DH, but all of these are super! I especially love the way you captured the coot.
ReplyDeleteAll beautiful shots, but I really like the couple, playing for his love by the sea!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, my friend! The duck with the red eye is quite lovely.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings to you!
debbie will be pleased. :)
ReplyDeletelove the coot! and the 'friday night lights' is very cool!
Beautiful pictures Gail.
ReplyDeleteI love the last photo and the coot.
Best regards, Irma
The young(er) couple photos are really nice. The old(er) couple shot is my favorite, though. It gives me a feeling of warmth and amiable understanding.
ReplyDeleteI love all the photos and I'm jealous of the coot!
ReplyDeleteThe trick with the lights of the boats looks awesome and I love the first capture of the couple taken from the back, you gave it a beautiful tint which even enhanced the nice composition.
ReplyDeleteTwo shots out of 200+? You're very decisive! :)
These are fabulous, Gail. My favorite is the Coot as well, just awesome! My you are really warming up to that delete button, lol! I hope someday I'm good enough to be that picky :) Great shot of you and DH. I need to start taking some timed pics of my and my husband as well. We never have any pictures for the Christmas card! Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots Gail, and I love the couple photo.
ReplyDeleteThe pelican (photo) is really a stunner, Gail!
ReplyDeleteDebbie has been a big inspiration to me too. The one of you two is adorable! Loved the other shots, great series of photos!
ReplyDeleteAnother nice group of pictures...feels like I got to travel a bit! I have become extremely cut throat about photos...it is just way to easy to keep them and no one needs to see 15 shots of the same thing. (Ok, easier said than done(o; )
ReplyDeleteoohhhh Gail, you inspire me every single day with your die hard determination and gorgeous images!! It's so important to take 100 images of the same exact thing because I usually find that only one or two are really great. All of the images you shared are spectacular but you know my favorite was of you and dh!!
ReplyDeleteI'm just thrilled to be a small part of your inspiration. Welcome to the world of selfies, I think you will like it here. It's an awesome picture, you should frame it!!
Some beauties here. I love the fall colours and the pelican.. and of course, the selfie. :)
ReplyDeleteI've become very picky about which photos I keep, too. I usually take at least 200 and only publish 5 for each post.
ReplyDeleteSurely you threw out some great shots, so don't empty that trash can yet!
ReplyDeleteThese are excellent, as always.
Well hi buddy, love seeing you! Great images as always and I super love the lake image with the story book fall leaves and reflection... Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful weekend. Beautiful photos, can I have the ones you throw away? Just kidding of course, but I know that the ones you delete would be better than the ones I use!!
ReplyDeleteNot only is this a great picture of you and Double D...but the colors in that true are gorgeous!! Interesting sights and I think it's great that you ask to take a photo of the two. Reminds me of my hippy days!! lol..
ReplyDeletelove the cypress knees ... what a gorgeous posts ... so many shots - much appeal. ( :
ReplyDeleteFAbulous shots - love the fall colour!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots, Gail!
ReplyDeleteIt's almost the weekend again...and I'm just now commenting! I really like the idea of "cutthroat" selection of photos. I need to do more of it. This is such a great set of images, as always. That first one is unlike any I've seen of yours before!
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy your photos and hope someday to be a better photographer. You inspire me.
ReplyDeleteNice couples-shot at the end! I like seeing that. Plus, all of your other pics are wonderful. Isn't it cool how the brown pelican matches the post he is on?
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely photo, Gail! Just love seeing you two and a beautiful setting, too. :)

As always Gail, stunning images. And great narrative.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the link this week at I'd Rather B Birdin'. I'm a bit behind visiting since I've been getting my new computer all set up and programs installed. I think I'm now able to catch up.
Great night shot of Port Allen. I've been through there many, many times and my husband's parents grew up and married there. The Brown Pelican and Coot shots are superb! Great idea about the couple shots...nice!
ReplyDeleteYou were busy!! Great shot of the brown pelican!! And very nice shot of you two!! Pretty cypress tree colors!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures lets you see Gail and the third picture is amazing with those trees in the water and kleruen too. Pelican is also super nice to see. That last picture is really superb:-))))))))))))))))
ReplyDeleteLoved the Baton Rouge and river at night and the water in the coot pix. The fall foliage shot is ethereal. Enjoyed the couple shots, too, including the timed shot. Kudos for cut-throat approach to the keep-toss challenge. My skills are few, but I still have trouble tossing ANY grandkid snapshots!
