N is For Night
Photo by David Grant
It's time again For ABC Wednesday. If you aren't participating in ABC Wednesday, you are missing out on a lot of fun.
The letter this week is "N" Here are some pictures that I have taken at "N"ight.
DADDY WATCHING THE BONFIRE
On a cold winter evening Daddy was watching the last remnants of a bonfire. I took the picture with only the light of the fire. The shutter speed was so slow that it is a bit blurry, but it is still one of my favorite photos.
LATE NIGHT KARAOKE AT RELAY FOR LIFE
At the Polk County Relay For Life, there was Karaoke and Open Mic until the early morning hours. (Relay For Life is an all night event because cancer never sleeps.) I like the way this singer was silhouetted, and shot the picture from behind with natural light.
LAMP AT A TEXAS RANGERS BASEBALL GAME
The lampposts at the Rangers Ballpark in Arlington are big baseballs. I just had to take a picture of one as we were leaving the ballpark.
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AT GARVIN WOODLAND GARDENS
Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs Arkansas is a beautiful 200 acre botanical garden. It is pretty year round, but during the Christmas holiday season the gardens are decorated with more lights than you could ever imagine. I'm looking forward to visiting again this Christmas season.

Sleeping babaies are always so cute. Great series of night shots.
ReplyDeleteI love all the pictures! The ball, the singer, but most of all, I LOVE your Dad picture! Aren't Dad's the best? I don't know where I would ever be without mine!
ReplyDeleteSome fantastic images you've got there. I particularly like the third one taken at the karaoke. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots, I especially like the karioke and the Christmas lights. I haven't mastered night photography yet.

ReplyDeleteCute little babe took a nap.
Happy ABC Wed...
That Karaoke photo is awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou are really a great photographer.
Thank you again for allowing me to use the polar bear photo on my blog.
It is greatly appreciated.
Bear((( )))
The pictures are amazing!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos, Richie! And very creative! I particularly like the silhouetted singer. What I've wanted to ask you for some time now is: who is the banner referring to? It says Queen Wilhelmina, but it couldn't be our Queen Wilhelmina, who ruled over the Netherlands from 1896-1948, could it? Just curious!
ReplyDeleteWonderful "N" photos! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your visit to my blog, and your kind comments.
Great N shots! My fav is the first of your little angel! Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI am back again to thank you for the information about Queen Wilhelmina! You can use that for " that's My World"! Queen Wilhelmina was the grand mother of our queen of today, Queen Beatrix.
ReplyDeleteah night is so dramatic!
ReplyDeleteLovely shots!
Wonderful photographs and I loved the one of the man singing with the green ora about him. Great shot, all of them were.
ReplyDeleteThose are unusually lovely night shots! The silhouetted one is incredible - it looks as if it's been put through Photoshop!
ReplyDeleteAmazing night photography, which I really enjoyed. Thanks for the posting.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome collection of photos for night! I love the baby shot! :D
ReplyDeleteAwesome night shots!!!
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is SO sweet!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow...just wow!! Those shots are fantastic. However the one that stays with me is the beautiful babe. They look so angelic when sleeping :)
ReplyDeleteYou took some amazing photos! Loved them all!

Kisses from Nydia.
Beautiful shots, all of them.
ReplyDeleteThese are great. so sweet & gentle!
ReplyDeleteRichie, each photo is a story unto itself. Each one more beautiful than the other. Thanks for showing us. What a pleasure.
ReplyDeleteThese are incredible captures, one even better than the next! I especially liked the one of your dad. Thanks for sharing your talents.
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday!
Those are lovely photos. that silhouette especially is amazing.
ReplyDeleteI really like the lamp from The Ball Park or whatever lame name they are calling it now. Ranger stadium a better name but the new stadium is much better.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my nature post..it's nice to visit your blog and see that we have a love of nature in common....
ReplyDeleteYour photos are all really special. I especially like the bonfire one too; I can almost feel the heat of the fire, you have captured a wonderful moment that brings bazck memories to me too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great series of photos.....

Never thought of using night...and I have photos that would fit that subject!
ReplyDeleteMorning glories also bring back grandmother memories for me as well. Beautiful! (And thanks for stopping by.)
All great night shots! Nice choice for N.
ReplyDeleteLovely series, especially the top photo of the child sleeping. I love the lighting on it. Nice "N" interpretation.
ReplyDeleteNight is a great choice. Nice shots.
ReplyDeleteI am with Mumbaiteanu. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Love all the photos.
ReplyDeletevery beautiful set of pics indeed!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful night photography. My favourite is 'Daddy'. If it were sharp it would be less evocative. But whatever will you find when 'N' comes round again!!!!!
ReplyDeleteA great set of night photos; all so different.
ReplyDeleteAll so wonderful... the baby shot is precious... the also love the Christmas light.. pretty! =)

Mountain Retreat- Canada
Thanks for stopping by at my place - I see you have plenty on the letter N this week :)
ReplyDeleteYou asked about Nerine preparation over at my place. They're a bulb that likes well drained soil that's baked in the summer. So a dry, gravelly hot spot is ideal for them. The neck of the bulb should just be poking through the soil.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI like the photo of the singer silhoutte and find that photo unique!
Great night shots. Makes me want to try it again--I've never been good at capturing night scenes.
ReplyDeleteThe karaoke singer pic is amazing
ReplyDeleteYour baby is so sweet - just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting posting. Very interesting pictures too.
