Dennys Photo Gallery: Fathers Day

From Denny: Check out these awesome photos I found for today's theme! Some wonderful offerings from amateur and professional photographers alike. The black and white photos have a very intimate quality to them. I liked the ones of girls smothering their dads with kisses as I liked to do the same with my grandfather and my favorite uncle when I was a little girl.  They used to laugh and beam for hours afterward.  Give the father in your life some love today. He deserves it!  Of course, I had to include some humorous photos as well. Enjoy!

Dennys Photo Gallery: Artists At Work

From Denny: Check out what I found today while searching for interesting artists to feature over at my arts blog, Dennys Art Sanctuary. While looking through the many photos I was struck by how many depicted the artists at work. Sure enough that developed today's theme! Enjoy the 18 photos of artists painting graffiti, portraits, sidewalks, recycling egg cartons as fine art, doodling on department store windows, making music, you name it. All great fun and immense creativity.

Dennys Photo Gallery: Winter Ice and Snow

From Denny:  Here I am in the middle of a Spring pollen blizzard with 85 degree weather posting winter snow and ice photography.  Uh, the rest of the nation may not be south Louisiana like where I live. In fact, here it is late March and parts of America are still experiencing snow storms and icy driving conditions. The month of March this year of 2011 refuses to go out like a lamb but rather prefers to be a drama queen and exit like a lion!

Just think, you can revisit this post come July when the weather is sweltering and you are fondly remembering cold weather as something wonderful. Enjoy my visual vacation where I rest from writing by combing through Flickr looking for interesting photos to fit a theme. You get to see some new photography talent and lovely images along the way.  I try to feature and promote photographers, both amateur and professional, from all over the world.  I'm an equal opportunity photo junkie...

*** When the heat index gets above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, be sure not to exercise strenuously in this heat, especially jogging or other hard exercise as there is a high risk of heart attack even if you are young. Keep those fluids flowing in and eat cold foods like ice cream to keep your body temp lower when you have to go out in the heat. The heart has to work over time when the heat rises this much so be sure to take it easy and take it slower to help your heart. Stay cool! :)





*** If you must exercise during a summer heat wave take some time and read this post on the latest study:
