I took this with my Canon Powershot SX260HS using the side of a telephone pole as a prop. I shot it in “Live” mode which allows me to adjust the temperature, color range ( vivid to neutral) and how bright I want it. Though I decided to not crop the shot I had to do a high pass sharpening on this pic.The lack of a tripod and being that at 39X zoom I was into the digital end of the zoom a bit it needed a little love. I was hoping for another pass with the SX260Hs tonight but we are boxed in by rain and such. Till the next time remember to take the shot…….and enjoy the moment.

White Blooms Among The Green
I must apologize for the lame, though accurate, post title. As I was finishing up the text on the photos the smoke alarm went off in the kitchen. Tonight though part of my dinner lays is a black smokey heap in the garbage I did learn one thing: The difference in smoke points in olive oil versus sesame oil. Instead of trying to look up this wonderful white bloom I will now post and go to Plan B for dinner.

Back To Nature
Hanging Tough
I was out and about our place earlier this month trying out my Sony A300. I was having a decent test drive of the Sony but was not finding much to shoot because of the always present wind that day. I like shooting nature in macro and well wind is not your friend if that is your thing. As I was heading back in when I saw two Dragonflies on some weeds by the fence roll. As I approach one chanced the wind and headed farther into the field but the other, well he just decided to ride it out. So here is one cool Dragonfly Hanging Tough!
Life’s Little Suprises
Today started out as a lovely overcast day. With the rains moving out the morning stayed pleasantly cool so The Bride and I went to the lake to enjoy it. I did not bring my normal long zoom Powershot SX10is but the lovely little Olympus SP-350. I was standing down by the water’s edge trying to get geese as they landed in the water but with zero luck when this little lady showed up. And she brought with her some of life’s little surprises.
