So this is really becoming more of an overall learning process for me. I have started looking up architecture (or is it architectural?) designs to see what I am going to look for for each letter… Today’s letter (yes just like on Sesame Street only the words are bigger… LOL) is the letter C.  Letter C is for cartouche. More about the cartouche here

Please leave your comments.  I would love to hear your feedback.  ♥

So I decided to have a little fun with the A is for architecture and do B is for bricks and blues today. This is one of those places that everytime I pass it I have to glimpse over and see if it is still there. I love the contrasting colors.

Today was Worldwide Photo Walk Day.  I took the Norman, OK walk with about 30 others. I had considered doing the OKC walk but I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to really discover Norman since I just moved to the area. Although I lived just down the road for 10 years in Moore, it was still a delight to discover all of the amazing architecture here in Norman. This is probably one of my faves from the day.  Although I did not finish the whole route, I will definitely be visiting more of the historic district.

I have been waiting “forever” to get to capture the guys/girls in their boats. Several times I have come over the river at sunset and they were out doing their training. I always wanted to stop and get a picture from the overpass.  It seems that would have been my best bet.  I did not realize how hard it was to get a good picture.  Of course these guys are going at like 70 strokes per MINUTE too.  And then I discovered  even though I had my 75-300mm lens with me, the guys coming to the finish line were on the south side of the river and it was still hard to capture them. When I get the few “good ones” edited, I will post a link here…

Nonetheless it was a great day overall.  I got to enjoy my day out, spend time with a great friend, and now I must get back up and prepare to do it all over again for World Photowalk here in Norman tomorrow.  Cannot wait!!!

092811 This is a little house not too far from me.  I have been wanting to get a picture of it so today I did a “drive by shooting”… that is what we called them in school when the students showed up with shitty images taken from their car because they were too lazy to get their ass out of the car.  I did it today because I was in a hurry to get home and I was a little afraid of getting caught. Next time I will stop and ask permission.   Love the blurriness of it… But I will definitely be going back to get a better pic don’t you worry.
