Today was an amazing day. I have seen the statue of liberty many times and have taken many pictures of it. I must say, however that this is, by far the best shot I have ever taken. I love the perspective of this shot. The people in this photograph make it very special.

Portrait of my precious Dade County Pine. It is the tallest tree in my yard. It reaches high into the sky, and is very old and very strong. It took a lightning strike 3 years ago, and saved my house from burning down. We had many electrical items "fried" and mirrors cracked and all sorts of weird stuff, from the electricity- but no fire. The poor tree is quite scarred and damaged, but still alive. I touch it and thank it every day. I called out arborists to check it, and they kept saying, "He's a big guy, he's a big guy. Maybe he'll be okay." I hope he will. Some of the upper branches are still dying off from the lightning strike. I love the reslience of this tree, and it's protective nature and strength.
South Florida used to be full of Dade County Pines, but many of them died after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Their root systems were damaged by all the debris that hit the ground around them. My three Dade County pines had their root systems protected by my deck that surrounds them, and they lived. Now they are rare survivors. I sure hope this one makes it.

105/366: Waterfall Perspective
Life is all about perspectives, how we choose to view life and our surroundings greatly effects our happiness in life. Everything can be viewed from so many different perspectives. When photographing, I enjoy looking for unique or unexplored perspectives, finding the view nobody has seen, exploring different angles and techniques. The only way to learn is to try new things, to view new and unique perspectives and ultimately find our happiness.
This perspective of the Stone Creek Park waterfall is lower and closer then any other one of this waterfall I have taken. I am standing in the middle of the creek and have my camera about 2 inches out of the water. I love how from this angle you can see the water ‘dancing’ on each end of the waterfall.

Gigantism, also known as giantism, is a condition characterized by excessive growth and height significantly above average. In humans, this condition is caused by over-production of growth hormone in childhood resulting in persons between 2.13 m (7 feet or 84 inches) and 2.74 m (9 feet or 108 inches) in height.
The term is typically applied to those whose height is not just in the upper 1% of the population but several standard deviations above mean for persons of the same sex, age, and ethnic ancestry. The term is seldom applied to those who are simply "tall" or "above average" whose heights appear to be the healthy result of normal genetics and nutrition. Gigantism is usually caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland of the brain. It causes growth of the hands, face, and feet.[better source needed] In some cases the condition can be passed on genetically through a mutated gene.
Reports of gigantism exist throughout history, with some nations and tribes taller than others. The giants of Crete are listed in various historic sources, beginning with Titan, a Greek mythological giant, and including Gigantus, after whom giants and gigantism are named. Rhodes is another island where giants were said to have lived, with the Colossus of Rhodes, a giant statue of a giant patron god Helios. Goliath, a giant mentioned in the Bible, was a Philistine warrior who was killed by David in a battle between the Israelites and the Philistines. A member of Goliath's family is also recorded as having six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot.
I'm surprised that I haven't posted this yet. As the name suggests, it's my second completed perspective drawing, so I realize that there are mistakes and issues in some places. I really need to produce more of these. Maybe I'll get out my watercolor while I'm at it.
Also, most likely going to take a self-study course on AP Studio Art; does anyone have any experience with AP Studio Art, or even Studio Art in general?
An interesting perspective of two really strange palm trees in front of In-n-Out.
2. Perspective. Things that are close are big. Things that are far away are little. Yes -- that's an over-simplification. But you get the idea, right?
I had my subject lay in the grass so I could capture her body from top to bottom giving it a different perspective as usual.

"Perspective"
A little perspective when it comes to Horizons. Numbers mean a lot to me. So I look for things that personally relate. Anyone who reads this will now know. This is the first time in 3 years I have revealed this. One, anything that stands out in the foreground as one thing, means you. Or I. Standing alone. Appreciating what life has given us. Two things means my wife and I, or you and yours...etc. Three things means the holy trinity. Four things means my 4 children. Five things means the family I was raised in. Six things means my family. A flock of birds..too many to count...my friends I love dearly. Every detail in Horizons has meaning for me personally. Every moment I capture and share. I do not take these just for me anymore, I take these for all those that has family and friends that feel the same way I do. Just that simple word called Love.. Those you would like to share the moment with. So thank you for "liking" Horizons. Thank you all for the nice comments. And thank you for letting me share how I see the world. Through the eyes of a child, filled with wonder and awe.
