Show Your Snaps...June 27, 2022

This is the weekly Show Your Snaps thread where we invite you to show your own snapshots or even choice pictures. I'll be sure to comment about your photos, if you choose to share.

When you are posting your own images please submit them as a reply to this post. Otherwise your pictures may be overlooked. You might also consider describing your pictures in the subject title. See my own photos for this week as a reply.

Remember it's all about the enjoyment of taking pictures regardless of what we have. We can learn from each other and it's fun to share too. Thanks everyone for your participation.

This is open to all camera systems and skill levels.

Summer has finally arrived in our area with temperatures in the 90's F. When it gets too hot, it's time to go to the beach or find a cool lake. That's where I was on Saturday.

Photo No. 1 - It was a beautiful day with lots of blue sky and water.

Photo No. 2 - Here at this location I could find a few water skiers.

Photo No. 3 - At another location, I saw all these people lying on their boards getting some sun.

Photo No. 4 - The brown color of this lake is the shallow portion.

Photo No. 5 - There were many people enjoying their time on watercrafts.

Photo No. 6 - Here's some more....

Photo No. 7 - With the reach of a telephoto lens, I could get closer.

Photo No. 8 - And one more....

Photo No. 9 - I think this was a pink flamingo.

Photo No. 10 - And a closeup...it appears a park ranger or policeman approached them for something.  There didn't seem to be a big issue as he did not stay long.

That windmill is nicely restored and maintained.  I like seeing the blue sky with the wispy clouds.  The views of the surrounding area are wonderful.

Mocha,

As long as no-one replies to the post, you can edit it.  Or you may be able to remove it.  I usually edit mine that are like that, by removing all the contents and saying something like "duplicate post" or do something creative like write another different response.  So I will not reply to it for a while so you can do that.  I hope you can remove the duplication.

Outstanding!  I love the view of the lake, seeing the trees, yellow flowers and reeds along the edge of the lake.  The weather is looking good; it's nice we are warmer now in the summer.  I feel that warmth when viewing your images.  The bird and purple flowers are excellent.  You were able to isolate both subjects with great backgrounds.  Oh, I can't forget...the squirrel...wow...love that one too.  You did well with that, showing it with all of those green leaves.

Thanks.  I was glad that I got out to see all of the activity at the lake under bright sunshine, for now we have cloudy cool weather.  But it's still supposed to be dry for a while.

That's great.  I look forward to seeing your heron pictures.

That's great. Yes, with dark colored birds we have to get the right lighting for the best ones.  Like in the last image, you seemed to have got that one right.  When the bird steps into the light, any darker background is nice to have to further isolate the subject.
