Picture This #269 ~ Near And Far

Welcome to Picture This. I am Benni, your host for this week. So many wonderful clouds last week! And a truly dramatic photograph by Nik for our banner.  The theme I selected is Near and Far. Gives you a chance to post anything from macros to people shots to landscapes. You're encouraged to post at least one near shot and one far shot.  But if not, no worries. Here are mine to start out with:

Caspersen
From Florida. It was windy that day and I found some shelter behind the grasses.

Iris maybe
I believe this is a type of Iris.

Pelicans
Flying far inland ahead of a storm.

Enjoy!! Have fun!!

  1. Nice theme, Benni and I love the photos you've chosen. It has been a long time since I've seen a sand dune. It looks so soft and inviting. I'd love to be bounding over it and onto the beach. Feeling sad about saying goodbye to the summer.

    That's a gorgeous macro of the iris. I've never seen one like that before. 'Love it!

    Great shot of the birds in flight over the palm trees!

  5. Hi Benni !! Many thanks for hosting this week. Great theme, with lots of possibilities. Wonderful first shot, beautiful white sands. I could just imagine walking barefoot through it. Lovely Iris in the second shot, I haven't seen one with those particular colours/markings. Great shot of the birds in flight.

    Gonna do some commenting on the other posts, then I'm off to relax :-))

  7. Hi Benni, Great theme for the week. Sorry that I didn't participate sooner. Wonderful capture of the beach in Florida. Love how the wind formed those patterns in the sand. Resembles snow. Oh, too soon to consider that. Nice shot of the water drops on the iris petals. Nice shot of the birds in flight.
