Looking at life through a lens forever changes the way you see things.  The insignificant becomes more apparent and takes on a whole new meaning.  I love capturing the radiance of a flower or the sparkle/shine in the eyes of an aminal. I hope you will enjoy seeing some of the same things that I have seen and that you will find their significance, also.</description><link>http://blog.photosbyfreddy.com/</link><managingEditor>freddy@photosbyfreddy.com (Freddy)</managingEditor><generator>Blogger</generator><openSearch:totalResults>3</openSearch:totalResults><openSearch:startIndex>1</openSearch:startIndex><openSearch:itemsPerPage>25</openSearch:itemsPerPage><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662538035868233626.post-5657341491441699292</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 Oct 2009 20:11:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-09T13:13:51.588-07:00</atom:updated><title>Azure Blue</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sOxW8_7hpDc/Ss-Y5X1vSAI/AAAAAAAAAB8/ykKU_YjNEt8/s1600-h/Azure+Enlarged.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img $r="true" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sOxW8_7hpDc/Ss-Y5X1vSAI/AAAAAAAAAB8/ykKU_YjNEt8/s320/Azure+Enlarged.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Azure is my first Ragdoll cat.&amp;nbsp; He has piercing blue eyes and is not only beautiful, but the sweetest animal I've ever owned.&amp;nbsp; I am an avid Ragdoll fan, now, and own 3.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5662538035868233626-5657341491441699292?l=blog.photosbyfreddy.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.photosbyfreddy.com/2009/10/azure-blue.html</link><author>freddy@photosbyfreddy.com (Freddy)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sOxW8_7hpDc/Ss-Y5X1vSAI/AAAAAAAAAB8/ykKU_YjNEt8/s72-c/Azure+Enlarged.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662538035868233626.post-5167457634910531310</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 Oct 2009 14:10:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-09T07:10:00.092-07:00</atom:updated><title>Passion for Nectar</title><description>This is a photo that I captured this summer of&amp;nbsp;a female Ruby Throated hummingbird.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sOxW8_7hpDc/Ss9EFMMe-HI/AAAAAAAAABw/0XvKMZtnXwg/s1600-h/Blended+Images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img $r="true" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sOxW8_7hpDc/Ss9EFMMe-HI/AAAAAAAAABw/0XvKMZtnXwg/s320/Blended+Images.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5662538035868233626-5167457634910531310?l=blog.photosbyfreddy.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.photosbyfreddy.com/2009/10/passion-for-nectar.html</link><author>freddy@photosbyfreddy.com (Freddy)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_sOxW8_7hpDc/Ss9EFMMe-HI/AAAAAAAAABw/0XvKMZtnXwg/s72-c/Blended+Images.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5662538035868233626.post-537166169785957401</guid><pubDate>Fri, 09 Oct 2009 13:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-09T06:56:32.488-07:00</atom:updated><title>Snowflake</title><description>Snowflake is my personal pet.&amp;nbsp; She is a registered white Himilayan cat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sOxW8_7hpDc/Ss9A-51h7MI/AAAAAAAAABY/e9q5UnDlN80/s1600-h/Party+Time.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img $r="true" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sOxW8_7hpDc/Ss9A-51h7MI/AAAAAAAAABY/e9q5UnDlN80/s320/Party+Time.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5662538035868233626-537166169785957401?l=blog.photosbyfreddy.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://blog.photosbyfreddy.com/2009/10/snowflake.html</link><author>freddy@photosbyfreddy.com (Freddy)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sOxW8_7hpDc/Ss9A-51h7MI/AAAAAAAAABY/e9q5UnDlN80/s72-c/Party+Time.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
