The image(s) of I-15 in the snow storm fills the bill for 3 entries!!  ;D

This week's challenge: BLUES

The road image below fits both of these themes.  :D

This Week's Theme: WOW!
The series I am presenting is in response to Ashley Sisk@Ramblings and Photos

She wanted to see before/after images of this shot.  ;D
I'm sure you ALL know Ashley! She guest posts and judges...
She's a very supportive commenter and inspirational blogger!
If you aren't familiar with her, she is a MUST CHECK OUT!!

Above is the original file from inside the tinted windshield.

Above is the first edit (and one Ashley saw in a post)

This was actually the final edit.  ;D
This is the entry for WOW!
We were amazed at how the snow was blowing
across the surface of the freeway!
This was taken on I-15 as we were driving home (to UT from ID).
Visibility and road conditions were horrible!
If you look close enough, there is an emergency vehicle centered
and a car that is WAY off the road on the right third.

This week's theme: TONGUES

This is our cute Jake when we first got him from the rescue!
Yeah... He looks so little!!
He's... ummmm... CHUBBY, now...  ;p
I always LOVED this shot because of that tongue!!
I HAD to submit it!!  ;D

This week's theme: NATURE

Sharing my 2008 Nature Photos in Hawaii!

This post is in honor of the 5th Annual Nature Photography Day!! I was not able to get out and SHOOT today, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite nature shots I took a couple years ago when we went to Hawaii!! I fell in love with plumerias and orchids while we were there!! I would also LOVE to go do a whole week on Kauai!! 6 of the following shots were on Kauai! The orchids were shot in Hilo at an orchid farm. The others were shot on Maui. Even with it raining and overcast the whole time, it was BEAUTIFUL EVERYWHERE we went!! 

Hope you ENJOY!! Let me know your thoughts!  =D
