AOL PHOTO CHALLENGE-WINTER BLUES

permalink for AOL photo challenge

 

 

BEGINNERS CATEGORY-Winter Blues

This week's challenge is WINTER BLUES.....Could be a winter scene, something that shows YOUR WINTER in YOUR TOWN.....or something blue for those who do not really have a winter.  Use your imagination for this week's challenge if you don't have any snow.

Living in Florida I can't say there is too much to be "Blue" about.  In fact, the weather is sunny and temperature is expected to be 70F today. 

So what I did was look for the Bluest photo I could find.  This photo is not  touched up, color enhanced or cropped, what you see is what  I saw in the view finder..... layers of blue from the color of the Bottle Nose Dolphin to the texture of the waves, to the color of the sky and the clouds. 

When this photo was taken I was on a boat, fishing, when we were approached by a pod of dolphins.  I grabbed my camera and used my arms as to steady the camera as the boat was rolled with the waves.  I have more and will post in later entries.

 

Maybe this photo will provide a little inspiration for those of you who are dealing with ice and snow.

 

 

I know I posted this on a previous entry, not knowing at the time I was going to enter the "Blues" Contest.  If you'd like to join the fun click on the graphic above for the link to the
