You Capture - Serene

Beth's You Capture subject his week is serene and my first serene photo pays homage to our men and women in the military. With two sons in the Army, a holiday like this one holds special meaning to our family. And thanks to all the brave members of the military, a picture of our flag can actually be 'serene'.

I knew the perfect spot to capture serenity would be Striebel Pond. You know, the swans swimming on the quiet water? But alas the swans are gone. I caught a couple of serenity shots there (that's where I captured the flag) but there just wasn't a lot of variety.

Then yesterday, just before sunset, when the air was still and the temperature was warm, Mr. Right and I headed up to the beach. And I think our beach and harbor area really says Serene.

For more Serenely You Capture photos, head over to Beth's Ishouldbefoldinglaundry. Look at all the serenity and then post your interpretation. You won't regret it!

  1. The first one is awesome!! I had the same thought for serene because of Veteran's Day, but I never did get a good flag shot, so I especially love yours.

  4. Love all of the shots, the flag, Streibel Pond, just awesome. I really love the beach shots, very pretty, for some reason I love the lit lamp post with all of the lights in the background. It's so cool! I also love the moon and the tree, gorgeous!!!

  7. I think you know without even reading this that my favorite shot is the moon. But, I also love the sunset at the lake. The lighthouse and the lamp post are perfection. Great job.

  14. Oh, wow. I gasped at the last few shots, they're THAT good. And I LOVE the third from last one. The one that's all crooked? Some folks may not have posted that because the horizon isn't level, but I think it is the off angle of that shot that make me like it so much. Nice!

    I did attempt to capture serene, but did not succeed. I posted my pictures anyway but didn't add them to YC. I'll get my act together one of these days.
