I May Snap at any Moment
WELCOME TO QWERKIPIX!
I love to capture images of just about whatever catches my fancy.
I guess that's what makes me "qwerki". My tastes are pretty eclectic.
Never know what will come into my camera or out of it!
Hope you have as much fun seeing them as I did making them!

Lovely fun planter from a recent estate sale...but it wasn't for sale. Sadly, the next day the oweners dropped it down their front steps the next day when moving it and burst into tears.

Crab on the Rocks
May 31 2015 - While strolling on the wharf on the Santa Barbara waterfront, came across this little fella. Amazing how the colors show up. I didn't realize how beautiful the rocks and the crab really were.

Nightblooming Epiphyllum - A Slide Show
This is a slideshow of a hybrid member of the cactus family blooms late at night. The bloom lasts until mid-morning or when the sun hits it. It blooms every few months or so. It is quite dramatic and unless you keep a watchful eye, to might miss it entirely. I would love a pink one.

The Riverside Flower Show
Sunday April 28. I was invited to display some of my images in the booth of some friends who were selling garden items. It was the first time I ever showed anything publicly. I even became so bold as to sell some..four to be exact! It was a great day for me with appreciation and validation of my efforts! You can click on the image below for a bigger view.

Enhanced Views From the UCR Botanical Gardens
This young lady was sitting on the steps of the Riverside Art Museum during the Dickens Festival. I asked if I could take her picture and she said that she normally doesn't like her picture taken, but the face paint made her less shy. Interesting.
A Painted Lady
I was downtown Riverside and happened on a photoshoot. I received tacit permission to take an "art" shot. They were aware I was taking the picture. Not sure what the shoot was for, but I just loved what at first I thought was some lovely women having fun.
