DailyPhotos > irishmurr  > Photography > Daily Photos (July - Dec. 2008)
I have a Canon Rebel XT and a EF 28-135mm lens, a EF 75-300mm lens and a EFS 60mm Macro lens (all Canon). I've never really done any pp, but just got Photoshop Elements, so wish me luck!

I began posting on the daily photos community almost two years ago and hope that making this effort on a daily basis has helped to improve my photography skills -- but realize that I still have a long way to go! Any suggestions for improvement are greatly appreciated.

To check out my daily photos from the first part of the year, click here.

While my daily photos from 2007, can be found here.

If anyone would like to contact me, my e-mail is irishmurr57@yahoo.com.

irishmurr > Trisha's flowers.

Maybe I'll get some myself on Saturday?  ;-)
(October 16, 2008)




"A bit of fragrance always clings to the hand that gives roses."
   ~~ Chinese Proverb
irishmurr > I could get used to this.

With the baby coming this week, we haven't been home much -- which means no cooking for me!  (October 15, 2008)

"There is one thing more exasperating than a wife who can cook and won't, and that's a wife who can't cook and will."
   ~~ Robert Frost




Thank you all for your congratulations on Maeve's arrival -- and Trisha and Chas send their thanks as well.  This is such a great bunch of people!
irishmurr > I'd like to introduce our little Miss Maeve, a.k.a. Maeve Margaret Murray.  If anyone was wondering where I've been the past couple of days, this might explain it.  :-)

Baby, Mom -- and Dad -- are all doing fine.  (October 14, 2008)






"Tuesdays child is full of grace"
   ~~ Mother Goose Poem
irishmurr > We're starting to see some lovely fall colors!  (October 12, 2008)




"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting and autumn a mosaic of them all."
   ~~ Stanley Horowitz
irishmurr > We were at friends this evening as the sun went down.  I can't imagine ever getting tired of this view.  (October 11, 2008)







"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."
   ~~ Crowfoot
irishmurr > How Johnny views life.  (October 10, 2008)






"Life... It tends to respond to our outlook, to shape itself to meet our expectations." 
  ~~ Richard M. DeVos
irishmurr > Look what I found while straightening up after Johnny's visit today.  At least he knows food belongs in the kitchen -- but I hope he learns to talk soon, so he can explain exactly why he wanted to weigh his half eaten chicken nugget.

And, yes, it's a desperation shot.  :-)
(October 9, 2008)





"What is success?  It is a toy balloon among children armed with pins."
   ~~ Gene Fowler
irishmurr > Between yucky weather and too many things to do, I didn't even pick up the camera today.  So here's one from yesterday, when we made our second trip to the punkin' patch -- this time with a truck, so I could finish my fall decorating.   (October 8, 2008)





"Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings."
   ~~ Jane Austen
irishmurr > Before anyone thinks "great catch," let me tell you the story behind this photo.  Our little neighbor Ava got a butterfly house for her birthday.  She watched her butterflies come out of their cocoons and grow, and today was the day she decided to set them free.  Luckily I just happened to be there with my camera.  ;-)
(October 7, 2008)





"Those who have succeeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves."
   ~~ Larry King
irishmurr > 'Tis the season for candy corn .... although this is actually "autumn mix" .... and rest assured, there was less of it when I finished taking this shot, than when I started. (October 6, 2008)






"Nothing on Earth is so beautiful as the final haul on Halloween night."
   ~~ Steve Almond
irishmurr > Today we made a visit to the punkin' patch.  (October 5, 2008)






"Autumn, the year's last, loveliest smile."
   ~~ William Cullen Bryant
irishmurr > Johnny's been practising his "I'm so frightened!" look for Halloween night.  (October 4, 2008)






"Hold on, man.  We don't go anywhere with "scary," "spooky," "haunted," or "forbidden" in the title."
   ~~ From Scooby-Doo
irishmurr > We're beginning to see some color around here!  (October 3, 2008)







"There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October."
   ~~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
irishmurr > Not the photo you would normally expect for the beginning of October, but I'll take it ...... take in inside,that is, where it's not cold, windy and rainy!  ;-)

And, yes, I was inspired by Art's shot -- these are probably the last of my roses until next spring.  (October 2, 2008)




“Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual."
   ~~ Edward Weston
irishmurr > Between the raindrops today, I managed to get outside to take this shot.  (October 1, 2008)






"And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow."
   ~~ G. K. Chesterton
