It's called Art Float. Local school children painted the inflatable balls and they were put in a local lake. They've been having events at it as a fundraiser for the local Art Museum.I like that first shotKieka What is that?

Holy cats - I've just read through this thread, and it makes me wonder where you people learned these skills. There are some utterly fabulous photos in this thread!
My skills behind the camera are just a step below those of a chipmunk with an Instamatic, so if Anne starts givin' out TCS T-Shirts for the week's best photo, just relax!
Thanks to everyone who's contributed to this thread thus far - this was an hour's pure joy to look through and to marvel at. My just-after-the-rain contribution from yesterday morning - the lilacs in the south yard, perhaps a day or two past their peak now:

I used to grow a lot of roses.

@weebeasties - These two shots almost make me wish for Autumn!These were taken from a moving vehicle as we drove down the interstate in West Virginia. Not great quality, but I love the fall colors. I don't get to see colors like that where I live now.

SUCH good photos here everyone!
I was having trouble deciding where to start, so I am going to concentrate on some of the B&W photos I've taken. I tend to use my cell phone camera most of the time, as I commute daily and carrying a DSLR is not practical.

- these are some of the most evocative photos I've seen in a long, long time, and the fellow with the cat puts me in mind of Hemingway for some reason.@mightyboosh - Every one a knockout, but the shot of Jupiter and Io (or is it Titan?) really is fabulous. I surely hope that we see more of these here, Phil.

- I have no idea how you got those bees to line up like that; can you get them to roll over and shake hands too?@foxxycat - I can't even pick one of yours, but I've always been impressed with your photos - from the garden to sunrises to Honeybee and Pumpkin Face.

I love that! It reminds me a bit of the Kusama Yayoi museum I went to recently.

I met a group of children, just before sunset at the lake side in Malawi in 1994. They were very excited to meet us and they started pushing and pulling because each and every one of them wanted to be snapped.
Exept for one boy, who remained quiet and remarkably serene and just approached me and looked straight into the lens. I will never forget him.

, good shot of the last photo of the boy with soulful eyes and that face. Looks like there are lots of thoughts on his mind.

Beautiful shot

It's so nicely lit and his face is just glowing in the sun.
I wonder where that boy is now?

You are making me want to dust off my macro lens!
That last shot is a wonderful portrait. The lighting is perfect and I love how the child to his right is partially shaded and the one to his left, slightly out of focus. It really gives great impact to your main subject and shows the emotional connection made. Well done!
This one was shot while commuting. I held onto it for a few days trying to figure out how I wanted to handle the image. I'm a firm believer post processing is (almost) always useful (especially cropping) and I let the photo "guide" me to figure out what I'm trying to say with it. I'm very happy with the tones in this one. I used Lightroom CC app for Android for this one after seeing a tutorial on how to bring out the texture and shapes of the cloud formations that sometimes get lost otherwise.
