The Jagged Man

Several From Around Our Place

The Bride and I took a walkout our place today. It was pleasantly warm out but we were accompanied by a nice crisp coolness mixed in by the wind. Here are several from around our place. Enjoy!

I do not know the name of this little blue flower but I like it. If anyone knows please leave a comment. I have dedicated a few hours looking online to no avail.

A fallen leaf for your viewing pleasure.

Small White Wood Asters being “cradled” by the Golden Rod. The focus is not great because I am still having handling issues with my PowerShot SX260. I like it anywho!

Beauty From The Day

I am a partial to Autumn and all its’ wondrous smells, chills and color shape shifting skills. So today I took a few on the fly shots of the last of Summers almost as wondrous Beauty. Enjoy!

This little bee was a bonus in this picture. Though I get the feeling he was giving me the “What are you looking at? “stare.

I tried the digital end of my zoom out on the PowerShot SX260. This Monarch came out pretty good, though it was hard to keep it stable, at the long end of the zoom.

This Indian Blanket is beautiful till the end.

I have accidentally found a setting on my Canon SX260 that make cool looking sun rays while one shoots “into the sun”. The following pictures are untouched and unedited pics I took this evening on our place. I hope you enjoy them!

A Few From A Rainy Day

I for one like cool, almost Autumn, rainy days. My allergies are less intense and the memories of how hot the summer was is beginning to fade. I also like taking pictures on rainy days. The following are several from a recent rainy day here in my little corner of the world. Enjoy!

DSCF6013 — I got a little to close for the macro on my pops FujiFilm S700 but I like it anyway 🙂

DSCF6011 — I love water drops and this Lily has plenty of those!

DSCF6005 — I was not far enough back to call this a good shot but once again I like it.

DSCF6016 — This is another missed shot but it still works for me. Because I take pictures in the rain shows you I do not have the good sense to know what I am doing!

Our Place As I See It

If you just drove by our place you would not think much of it. To me I see a wondrous world just waiting for me to explore an discover its hidden treasure. Here are several from the day with more to come at a later date. Until then Enjoy!

One From The Day

As I took a break from my finishing the drywall in the bathroom I had an epitome: A bad day taking pictures beats a good day dry-walling! So off for a walkabout I went. Camera in hand, and a head full of worries and wants, I proceed to untangle my being doing something I love. Here is one from the day.

DSCF5966 — I took this picture with my pops FujiFilm S700. This flower was about three inches off the ground under and surround by other plants and wild things. Life is everywhere and I find that still to this day to be wondrous.

Three For Thee From A Cloudy Day

I took the following pictures with my Canon SX260 HS. I am slowly getting to like this camera but I am a long way from loving it. With that said I am very blessed to have any camera less alone the latest tech point and shot!

No, Not There Yet

The journey with my new Canon SX260 HS is off to a rocky start. I like the long zoom and the screen is very nice but it does not have the same finesse, plus it lacks image stabilization, as my S3is had. I have fiddled around with the manual controls and I will get better with at it over time but right now I feel like a kid on a long journey: Are we there yet? No, not there yet. Here are several from the past weekend. Enjoy!

I like the contrast the bed of dead leaves gives the newly discarded leaf.

I took this in a low little setting right before sundown. I will have to admit I am pretty happy with the SX260’s low light capabilities so far. Time will tell though…

This bottle of sand was just begging for attention. So I was going to give it some but the setting sun coming through the window beat me to it.

I love reflections and the overlaying stories they tell.

I am taking shots of as many flowers as I can before they go to sleep for the winter.
