You can see that I don't take many pictures of people. But here's one I really like. This picture of friends Sean and Ellen was taken
last October on our trip to Italy. We
stayed in a beautiful villa along the Amalfi Coast. And though it was a little cool for me, Sean
braved the infinity pool, which is where he is standing in this photo. I like the mood of this because it reminds me
of how beautiful, calm and relaxing the villa was. I also like that Sean has his hat on.
This photo was taken along the Blue Ridge
Parkway in Virginia. What a wonderful
drive! We were there in the winter so
there wasn’t much traffic, which allowed us to stop when we saw something that
I wanted to take a picture of. I like
this photo a lot and spent some time on it getting it aligned properly.
Here’s another one from our travels. This photo was taken in 2010 on a trip we
made to Scotland. These boats are on the
Isle of Mull. I think they leave them
there for photographers like me to ooh and aah over. I love Scotland.
Sunflowers are probably my favorite flower and I
love them in all their phases. To me, this
one looks like it is just waking up from a long nap.
And finally, here’s a photo I took at Three
Sisters Sanctuary in Goshen, Massachusetts, on one of the field trips Carrie
and I took. This is a great place to
wander around with a camera. I highly
recommend it if you are in the area. In
this photo, I love the juxtaposition of the wild vines and other natural growth
against the relative fineness of the stained glass window. The Unexpected…
Are these my ten “best” photos? Probably not.
Well, maybe… Photography is very
personal and very subjective. I suspect
that to me, these are the best because they all invoke wonderful things and
good times in my mind. But maybe I will
change my mind tomorrow when new things happen in my life.
By the way, we are still waiting for the snow to
start in earnest. We are supposed to get 8 plus
inches. Here’s hoping that they misread
this storm and it will all blow out to sea.

Wonderful choices!
I love your selection...obviously thoughtful...I like how you discussed each photo and why it was special to you...these things make a great blog! and yes, about the boats...they leave them here in Nova Scotia for the same reason...
a great eclectic and beautiful selection from your private stock
I define my "best" pictures by the feelings they evoke for me. All of these are so beautiful, you are a master behind the lens!
they are all wonderful and all beautiful in a different way. you made good choices for me...
Thanks so much. Clearly, we need to get up to Nova Scotia!
really like them all! LOVE a good fence photo. the ships in b&w are awesome, too.
I too like each of this pictures - I remember of the one of your friends from last summer's trip, but don't recall seeing the Blue Ridge Parkway fence picture - incredible leading line in that one. Speaking of leading lines - I absolutely LOVE your new header. I just sat here taking it all in, saying out loud 'oh, I like that; I really like that'.
Hope the snow passes you up - in part so it will also pass my daughter up over in Wellesley. I think she may have had her fill of snow this winter.
I especially love the sunflower photo. It's magnificent!
It has been a snowy winter but was much snowier two years ago. It is starting to snow a little harder here now. I think we will get more than they will in Wellesley. At least that's what they said last night on the news.
Excellent choices...I especially like the boats, the fence & the sunflower..all just beautiful!! Stay safe in the storm. We got about 9 inches but it is melting quickly.
Another great five! I have to admit the fence line photo is my absolute favorite! A fantastic photo! The sunflower is awesome, too, and the boats are really nice!
that thrid shot was stunning it seems like a painting or something
These are great Barbara -- all so different in style, but equally compelling. :)
Barbara, it's always difficult to pick favorites as the list keeps expanding. Thanks for sharing some of yours. Now, I must get to Scotland to see those boats.
Yes, you must get to Scotland!
loved all of these...I am a big fan of sunflowers in all stages, too.
