Lens-Artists Challenge #157 – Getting Away

Short Trip to Southern Missouri — story in pictures

On the Road
By the Road
Dinner at an Old-fashioned Midwestern Hotel
Sunset by the Pool

Getting Down to the River
There We Go
Resting Afterword

Another Sunset

Next day at a State Park

Trout Hatchery
And Fishermen — or Fisherwoman?
Suspension Bridge Over the River
Beyond the Bridge
And in the Woods

Last Look around the Hotel

Wine Tasting on the Way Home
The End

Colors of Portugal

Dear all,

Now that we are left with no “Weekly Photo Challenge,” many of us feel disappointed (I’m one of them). Yet before we all go our separate ways, I want to share great news with you. Some brave souls decided to take matters in their own hands and continue on their own (praise be Photography Deities!).

This is an announcement put out by my dear friend Tina Schell, whom I’ve been following for some time (and I highly recommend that you follow her, too; not only does she post great photos, she also supplies them with thoughtful commentaries).

Anyway, here it is : https://travelsandtrifles.wordpress.com/.  I hope this will inspire you as much as it inspired me.

Speaking of inspiration, as I said before, Tina is a very accomplished photographer and a great source for inspiration. In fact, her last post — “Colors of Summer” — inspired my today’s post: “Colors of Portugal.”

The thing is that I recently visited Portugal (in fact, my husband and I spent three weeks there (those of you who’d like to read about that, click here). I was charmed by that country, and I came back with hundreds of images. Some of them I’d like to share with you.

Maternal Instinct: Things We All Do For Our Young

The killdeer (Charadrius vociferus) is a medium-sized plover (Wikipedia)

Killdeer distract predators by calling loudly, bobbing, and running away. Killdeer are some of the best-known practitioners of the broken-wing display, an attempt to lure predators away from a nest by feigning injury.
