ANIMAL ADVENTURE

So, summer has now come and gone, and the kiddies are back to school. But before summer ended we visited Busch Wild Life Sanctuary located in Jupiter, Florida. This is a non-profit, educational based care facility for injured animals. The Sanctuary's goal is to provide these animals with the medical care needed to bring them back to their natural habitats. While we were there, the kids got to feed the turtles and see pelicans for the very first time...up close and personal! Well, some what personal, as a fence separates you from these animals for their protection and yours. Here are some of the animals and things I was able to photograph throughout the Sanctuary. Enjoy!

JUST BEACHY

On the weekends, I often crash at my brother's place on the beach. You can say I invite myself pretty often. My daughter loves it! She has become a little "beach bum"! Beach life is so different.....Time doesn't seem to move, and it's just you and the sea. The most I enjoy about the beach, for example, is how simple things like a tennis ball left behind on the sand, or a piece of wood plank among the sea grass, can become art. The beach and it's surroundings are more than just beach therapy, it's an art palette for the lens. Join me on my stroll along the beach, and see what I saw through the lens that became my inspiration for this blog post. I even met two beautiful labs, Lilly, and her twin brother. The owner was gracious enough to allow me to photograph these beauties!

This is just some of what I captured on my "just beachy" of a day. You can view more photos by clicking on the link below. Remember, if and when you see something you like, it can be yours. So take a peek and enjoy!

A FEW TO VIEW

As I was looking through what I call the "Archives" I came across a few photographs I would like to share with you.  I am proud of these photos and why is that you ask? Because most of  the photos in my "Archives" were taken with my Nikon Cool Pix (a regular point and shoot) nothing a photographer would call fancy. It was good to me and I took it everywhere I went until it retired. I moved on as we all eventually do in photography but it's always nice to look back and see how you have grown as a photographer. Photography is definitely a learning process. Im a true believer that you don't often see beauty in the world until someone shows it to you and thats the amazingness of photography.

So I leave you with these few to view. Enjoy!

Also, don't forget if any of the posted photo art catches your eye and interest you  follow the link below to view more and you can even purchase what you like for your home, office, etc:

Neat Freak or Compulsive?

Some say I’m a neat freak, some say that I may have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder), but some just think I am a big pain in the butt (husband). The truth is I just like everything in its place, and I HATE clutter.  Besides, my house does get disorganized and messy from time to time. I do have a three year old… it is expected for messiness to happen.  And for some reason, I can never keep my purse organized; it’s always messy in there (ex. I lost my car/house keys 3 months ago and yet to find them).  I don’t think that happens to someone with OCD. So you see, no compulsive disorder here.

When it comes to my computer files…well, what can I say? It can get really messy.  I don’t know why, but a lot of clutter ends up on my desktop. Does that happen to you? The main thing is putting everything where it belongs and ditching the trash. Filing and categorizing can get tedious and mind numbing. Yeah! that’s another word for tedious…it clearly illustrates it! My mind gets numbed every time I am organizing computer files. Ughhh!

However, as I was doing that today, I gladly came across these random shots. So before they get filed away, let me just share them.

My new venture!

Hi everyone,

Many of you may know about my Ceci Liz Photography blog (CeciLizPhotography.blogspot.com)… so what is this one all about?  Through this blog I hope to share artistic photography, most of which I randomly find.  The kind you would frame and display in your home... hopefully you'll agree with me.  I also hope to show you some of my "recreational" photography I capture in my spare time. 

If you haven’t already heard, well it turns out my sisters-in-law also love photography.  So we decided, what better way to share our passion than to blog about it?  We thought it would be fun!

Now, on to the fun part…the photos.  Let me tell you about my latest photo walk.  This is Naples 3^rd Street South, right by the pier.

Sea Salt invited us for lunch and a photo shoot at their restaurant.  The food was fantastic!  Here are some of the fun photos I captured at Sea Salt and around 3^rd Street South.  Hope you enjoy! Don’t forget to check out the full collection of art photography we each have to offer by going to the specified link.

Your Photogranerd,

Ceci

Naples 3rd St

I am so excited that this is my first post! Finally I will be able to show everyone what has been going on behind the camera.  Last week we joined a meet up group of around 15 photographers for the location of our shoot.  The location was Naples 3rd St and Seasalt Restaurant.  This was a great oportunity for the lucky photographers that participated in this shoot as Seasalt has promised to give us a gallery in exchange for our pictures.  I will keep you posted on this!  Here are some of the pictures I captured.  Enjoy! -Karina
