BEAUTY COMES FROM WITHIN  This old Woman with wrinkled Face came from the poor area of Appallacia. Maybe a lot of our mothers or Grandmothers were like this. I know my Grandma was. She also chewed Tobacco. But because of her love for me, all of that didn't matter.

OLD BARN AND FLOWERS

Nikon D-80
I love to take photos of old Barns. I found this particular Barn in the Georgia Mountains. But it was different.  All the beautiful  Flowers in Front and the Mountain Scenery, made it A totally different Photo.

Greetings Everyone
This picture I took in Brisbane a few years ago.

Among the high rise office building was this lovely Church

Rebot... :)
....what a stunning church, you can give me the old versus the new anytime...such a shame this magnificent building is surrounded by all those monstrosities that call them themselves the modern architectures of today...

Greetings Jacqueline
The interior is beautiful as well.

And like you I prefer the architecture of the older churches to the more modern design.

I saw this old building, badly in need of repairs.  And what took my eye was this beautiful buddleia shrub, commonly known as the Butterfly bush.

Would you say it is beauty in an unusual place?

Yes I would agree, as they say..." beauty is in the eye of the beholder..."  :thumbsup:

Killdeer Camo

(https://www.shekinahphotography.com/img/s/v-3/p3008712414-4.jpg)

I took this with my Canon EOS 70D.  I was out driving around (what my hubby and I refer to as Drive-by-shooting) looking for images to take and with my window down, I heard this killdeer.  He was there with his mate and two 'babies'.  I never would have seen him in this field of plain dirt, if I hadn't seen him.  What beautiful birds to be surrounded by such plain surroundings.

Peter Iredale Shipwreck

(https://www.shekinahphotography.com/img/s/v-3/p2652920615-4.jpg)

Taken with my Canon EOS 70D.  There seems to be a haunting beauty about this shipwreck, amidst it's rust and deterioration.

Please let me know if I'm posting these too big.

Snowstorm Sunset

(https://www.shekinahphotography.com/img/s/v-3/p2170436141-4.jpg)

Taken with my Canon EOS 70D.  My hubby and I were out driving in a snowstorm in our 'backyard' and we were surprised when this orange glow of sunset lit up the stormy sky.

Caught

(https://www.shekinahphotography.com/img/s/v-2/p167491427-4.jpg)

Taken with my Canon EOS 70D.  I found this autumn leaf that was caught in the branches of a tree, to be a beautiful irony. I wish fall would linger.  Every year the leaves fall too quickly for me.

I saw this ?Trailing Lobelia? at the side of an empty flower border and on rather ordinary steps.

A dull scene highlighted by beautiful blossoms!

Rebot...
...someone had some good imagination to brighten up some dull steps...

Shutterbugmom...
...living in UK we dont see too much of our Autumn colours as you do in America - Canada...oh I love all these Autumnal colours, the reds, and the golds...I am more a trees - coloured leaves and greenery plants than a flower person...anywhere that attracts birds...

One of our wonders of our earth...covered in a thick covering of snow...

Shipwreck, it does make one wonder what is beneath our seas...

Your bird was well camouflaged...I bet he saw you before you saw him....

Brilliant photos, I have no clue as to when they will be voted on but, for me, it doesn't matter, just the seeing them brightens up ones day as to what lies out there, and could have gone undiscovered...

Concrete can be dull, flowers have a way of brightening even the dullest of steps
