Saturday Photo

Saturday comes a little early this week at Joeprah.com. I am leaving for the beach and, before I go, I wanted to share some recent photos taken with my awesome 12.1 Mega Pixel Canon PowerShot G9. Tell me what you think. Isn't the camera... Feeling teased? Want more? I thought so. Go to Joeprah.com and become complete.

I haven’t participated in the Saturday Photo Hunt for a while but when I found out what today’s theme is, I couldn’t resist. After all, those who know me know that I’m a pink fanatic! I posted this photo before but it just fits the theme so perfectly! Then there’s the Royal Hawaiian Hotel And the Tripler Army Medical Center For more participants, visit the official Photo Hunt Site.

Theme - RowBecome a Photo HunterClick image to enlargeSailor ready to spike the cannons, Whitehaven Harbour, Cumbria, UKWhitehaven has had guns for some 400 years defending the port and its once vital shipping trade. Many of the guns had started life on board the town's sailing ships; carried on board to protect the shipping from pirates and privateers that operated even in the Irish Sea.The town's defences were started in 1639 when Sir Christopher Lowther was woken by news of invading Scots at Carlisle. He gave two pieces of ordnance and had the first battery platform built at Old Quay. This was replaced in 1741 by a new stone Fort.Local historian Ralph Lewthwaite said: "Today, almost every trace of our former defences have gone. Names like, Half Moon Battery, Jack-a Dandy Battery and the Sea Brows and Bransty batteries are confined to the pages of history and the only building from this story still to be seen, although considerably reduced in size and shape, is the fort."The only u

Theme - TinyBecome a Photo HunterClick image to enlargeThis is the smallest panda in my collection, it's one of the miniatures in the Cottage Collectables by Ganz, and he's called Paws designed by Lorraine Chien. You can see how tiny he is as he is sitting inside a Christmas tree bauble.Since taking the photo I have a new PC and the original is on my laptop packed away so I had to use a copy that I had posted on another website hence the web address nicely pated in the corner.

Theme - FakeBecome a Photo HunterClick image to enlargeI have to say I was stumped by this weeks theme, then I remembered the above picture, I would've taken my own but I don't have her yet, she's on order.When I saw this doll advertised I fell in love with her, and yes she is a doll, as the advert says, "full of amazing lifelike details".

Theme - SweetBecome a Photo HunterClick images to enlargeJust twelve weeks old, and I had had him for just a day when this photo was taken, he's more than sweet here he's adorable.Now fully grown and thinking the bed belongs to him as you can see, still sweet but at times you could chew him up and spit him out.

This photo was taken a couple of years ago when Girlie Girl insisted on wearing this Belle wig for Halloween! While you’re here, could you please take a moment in your bloghopping to stop by Write From Karen to vote for my photo in the Humor Photo Contest? It will one take a minute. Judging from the stats, I don’t think I’ll win but I’d like to make a decent showing. Mahalo!

Theme - ArtBecome a Photo HunterThe following photos were all taken in the Louvre last year.The first is one of the many decorated ceilings which, would be art without the paintings.The second is an Egyptian bust, I'm not sure if I've posted it because the bust itself is art or because the photo capturing both front and back is art.The third is yet another display of the artwork that has been used in the ceiling.Finally the Venus De Milo.

This week's theme is Colorful. Back before I practically shaved my head, I used to keep it braided. It was much easier. When my hair was shoulder length it took me an hour to blow dry, and even then it wasn't all the way dry. So I just kept it braided. And I'd change the color every couple of weeks. I've had it red, blue, green, purple...I think I even have some yellow hair, but I don't

Theme - ColourfulBecome a Photo HunterClick Image to enlargeThis is my boyfriends VW camper (and no Dylan isn't my boyfriend), this picture has fewer flowers than the van did up until a couple of months ago when they were all removed and the van was repainted (still bright yellow). It's supposedly going to be sold ... You know men and their love affairs with motor vehicles though.It's colourful in more ways than one and has always turned heads where ever we go.A couple of notes following the commentsDylan is the name of the van and the bunny.The bunny is Dylan from the Magic Roundabout (see Wiki entry)The photo was photoshopped by my boyfriend and he added Dylan

Theme - FiveBecome a Photo HunterClick image to enlargeThis week I thought and thought for something connected with the theme, then it came to me and I had to run downstairs to check that there were five cats in the Russian Doll set that I have. As you can see there are.The Dolls were bought for me for either Christmas or my Birthday one year, I can't say which celebration it was as there's only three days between both for me and you can imagine they merge into one most years.You know now I look at the quick makeshift backdrop I gave them it may not have been the best choice ... Please be assured that the background and the subject bear no relevance to each other at all.Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt Participants1. Hopeful Spirit2. Chen3. ipanema4. superkimbo5.

Theme - ChildhoodBecome a Photo HunterClick image to enlargeThis week is about childhood, well I thought of pictures of toys such as my rocking horse (a collectable antique) or other toys from my childhood, maybe even some photos of me as a little blue eyed angel, only a couple of weeks ago when we were booking a caravan we were looking on Live maps at the site and I then looked up my childhood address.The photo is now in my private collection although it is a screen shot, it is of my childhood home in Lowestoft, the fifth house from the bottom.I've just been asked and never thought to say this, the neighbourhood hasn't changed much at all, I see a few swimming pools where there weren't any as I was growing up. The main thing that has changed is that we (all the kids I grew up with) have all moved away, my childhood home was still owned by my parents until about two years ago when they went their separate ways and I can see from this photo my pond has gone from the back garden and t

Today's theme is Rare. Shockingly, neither TNChick or Sue have their pics up yet, LOL. **Update** I just found out that TNChick is having some health issues. Stop by and wish her well! YAY! I beat them both. :-) Insomnia is good for something, LOL. We rarely get snow in my little corner of the world. If it does snow, it's at 2 AM. It's not enough to accumulate. And it melts before

If you live in Hawaii, you can’t hear the word “steps” and not think of Diamond Head. I think almost every local resident and even many visitors have climbed the 100+ stairs to the top of the crater. The paths for the hike are well defined. There are steps and dark tunnels that go through old war bunkers. Depending on your pace, the trek will take one hour uphill and 45 minutes back down. However, the views are definitely worth it. Diamond Head got it’s name in the early 1800’s when soldiers found calcite crystals on the slopes of the crater and mistook them for diamonds. It is an extinct volcanic crater which currently houses the FAA, Civil Defense, and Air National Guard. Kailani technorati tags: saturday+photo+hunt, diamond+head, hawaii

  My hobby is sewing. I make baby items like the diaper shirt above as well as boppy covers, bibs, burp cloths, blankets and matching pillows. I used to sell them at craft fairs but had to stop when Baby Bug was born. Now I just make them for family and friends. Since Baby Bug is getting older, I’m seriously thinking of starting up again. Maybe I’ll even try to put together a website to sell them online. Any suggestions on a business name? technorati tags: saturday+photo+hunt, hobby, sewing, diaper+shirt,

This photo was taken over on the Windward Side of the island of Oahu. In the middle of that blue pacific ocean is Manana Island (locals call it Rabbit Island). The shape of the island actually resembles a rabbit but it originally got it’s name because a long time ago, a rancher released a bunch of rabbits there and they started to multiply. Today the island serves as a seabird sanctuary. technorati tags: saturday+photo+hunt, rabbit+island, oahu, hawaii

The Waikiki Shell, which opened in September 1956, is home to many outdoor concerts throughout the year. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a picnic dinner under the stars. BTW, the final winner in the daily book giveaway is Carmen from Gone to Plaid. Congratulations! Related Posts: Sunset in Waikiki Hawaiian Images Ko Olina Beach Pearl Harbor

Well, of course I had to post a photo of the ocean. What kind of Island Girl would I be if I didn’t? Please feel free to leave a comment even if you’re not participating in WW.

Theme - SaltyClick to enlargeThis is Ness Point, looking out across the North Sea (salty theme) and it is the most Easterly Point in the UK. It's also in Lowestoft, the town where I grew up, strangely I didn't know the big circular thing was there until 1999 when the town was getting ready for the party (that may have been when it got a revamp), I didn't even know it was the most Easterly Point in the UK with good reason ... It's the most run-down area of the town and the town is pretty run-down.Now a C&P from Wiki, I may not like the place nowadays but it's still where I'm from ...Literary and artistic connections Lowestoft has a number of literary and artistic connections. In the 1840s, Charles Dickens came to stay with Sir Samuel Morton Peto. Lowestoft's Beach Village, along with Blundeston village, became the inspiration for David Copperfield. The nineteenth century writer and traveller George Borrow lived in Oulton Broad for many years. Joseph Conrad came from his native Po

When I hear the word “soft”, I think of soft white fluffy clouds. This is a photo I took from outside my window next to my jumpseat. It may look familiar to some of you since I used it in my photo project last year. Technorati Tags: Saturday Photo Scavenger Hunt Soft Clouds Airplane Window
