Those flowers looked abit like frozen strawberries don't they? Never seen them before. They looked frosted.

A day at the bay reminds me of a place I visited in Perth. A nice way of spending the weekend away from the city.

Lovely images Betchai! We are are just lucky that we are a coastal State, we can enjoy the beauty of our beaches!

I am back!

The boat races look so exciting though one sinking is not fun :( The flower is so pretty though I have not idea what it is. They look like strawberries and are making my mouth water :) Love the post betchai.

OMG! The flower is gorgeous. I have never seen anything like it before. Is it even from this planet! LOL :D

Well...it does resemble (a little bit) a strawberry! :)

The flowers certainly don't look ordinary, do they? I don't have a clue what they are. I would be so botanically lost if I moved west it's not funny! Great pix!

I don't know what the name of the flower is but you have photographed it beautifully with the dew drops on it.

We have boat races every year at the beginning of summer on the Detroit River. I used to work right down the street from them. We could hear them practicing every day for a week, but I never went up to watch.

Most people unfortunately haven't learned the simple joys of photography like we have. It doesn't take a tourist to have this kind of fun. :)

so much action for the day...nicely documented with your shots

2009-09-21T08:46:53.307-07:00

Fascinating boat race pictures! That's funny that when taking pictures of the flowers you were asked if you were a tourist. That happens to me when I take pictures of cactus. I think our cameras help us to see and appreciate the world in new ways.

All of us share the same experience, at the same time, we magnify our joy of photography.

The others will not know this.

Thanks for lying on the floor to take these beauty for us betchai! They are gorgeous! :)

2009-09-21T06:49:06.778-07:00

My husband is a photographer and he takes a lot of photos of things like flowers, bees, etc. Those are amazing macro shots. It is hard to get such a clear close-up photo.

2009-09-21T05:32:17.954-07:00

i would do the same, drop down to my knees and take the same pics. it is a matter of interests...but i would b stumped if i were asked if i were a tourist. :)

What a day, you got to witness an interesting even...

2009-09-21T04:54:24.923-07:00

What a day, you got to witness an interesting event of a boat sinking and being rescued.

Then you met a strange lady who thought you were the strange one for taking photos of flowers. I haven't see such flowers before and I agree with you I the flowers interesting.

I think non photography people find us photography folk strange anyway. To get good photos sometimes we must go the extra mile and lie on the ground.

2009-09-21T04:31:36.422-07:00

I'm glad that you have some time to relax before another busy week ahead. The pictures are just fantastic, betchai..

I always encounter people who virtually laughed at me for taking pictures of ordinary things.

It is a shame that only tourists are supposed to enjoy the beauty of their surroundings. Stop, and smell the roses is what I always say. I do not know what those flowers are, but they are lovely.

2009-09-21T01:39:54.624-07:00

Beautiful Monday!~~~oh, i love the word for verification. it's 'mominess,' (grin).

2009-09-21T00:53:11.290-07:00

i can totally relate, Beth. now that my mum is here, she keeps asking me why i take pictures of 'ordinary flowers'. well they are not ordinary for me too! through photography, these literally ordinary flowers becomes extraordinary! HAPPY MONDAY, my guru!

big hugs,
