I took these photos while I was out and about…
We had a lot of rain because of remnants of Hurricane Fay. When I was sitting in my car at lunch on Monday, I noticed the rain on the windows looked a bit like some of Claude Monet’s paintings. (A hat tip to my husband who, when he saw the photo, said “That looks like a Monet!” I just knew it looked like some famous painter-dude’s style.)
I took this shot out the front windshield on Tuesday while driving home from work. (I was completely stopped, not to worry.)
This photo was taken less than 45 minutes later, as I was leaving the gym.
On Thursday at work, I noticed the “stained-glass” effect the sun had shining through some cool plastic chairs. I didn’t have time to photograph it then, but I did take 5 minutes to do so on Friday. This shot is out of focus, because I didn’t realize the camera was still set to manual focus. But I like it much better than the next frame, which is in focus. (If you’re interested in what the next shot looks like, you can see it here.)

I LOVE the Claude Monet looking one. He is one of my favorite artists!!! I think you should frame that one! You have a good eye :)
I really enjoy your blog. I can’t remember how I found it now…but I’ve been reading for a while. I’m a huge photography buff and I always find fun stuff here.

I love that first one! It DOES look like a Monet! When I first saw it I thought, “That looks like an impressionist painting!”

I like the blurred focus of the stained glass better than the focused one too.
But my favorite is the first one. You need to have that matted and framed. No question.
The first pic is amazing.

I love the warm light and shadows in the last photo.
LOVE the first one, it’s great! I would have said the same thing… “IDK, some painter dude.” ;)
Sam (The Edge Of Insanity)’s last blog post..Weekly Winners… The Longest Yard
Oh yeah, the out of focus one is better!
And that top one is GREAT!
I love the first one too. It’s really like Monet. He could take your pictures as examples if he could meet you in his life:)
I love the first one. LOVE it but the last one keeps bringing me back.
