A Couple Of Crazy Days
I have had two of the craziest days this weekend. The Bride is in school again and I am her lab partner or ” slave monkey and photo bug” if you wish. The great thing of on-line schooling is that which is also the worst thing: Technology! We are having issues to say the least…uh not us but with the techno-stuff.
I also have had a mechanical issue with my ride and found out today I will have to get the last little part, to finish the job, from the dealer. Oh, I also got a foreign object stuck in my eye.( I seem have a gift for this but it still stinks when it happens.) After flushing my eye for at least a half an hour, and what seems to have been divine intervention, I am object free in the eye department.I have never felt pain like that before and I am gratefully for the gift of sight.
So what to do in such a frenzied mess? Share some captures I grabbed in between the madness!
Super Moon To Be
With the moon reaching it’s most super-sized girth of 2013 on June 23rd I had an opportunity tonight/tomorrow morning to try a few captures before hand. I used my Powershot SX10is in this photo.
Time Passed Me By
If this old wooden bridge could talk I am betting it would bemoan the feeling that it is past its usefully prime. I can sense it would lament that fact and say “Time passed me by”. Yet I would argue with this fine old bridge and say it is still very useful.
For one I would point out that it is a reminder of a simpler time, when things were not hurried and rushed. Next I would attest to the fact it was fortunate that the builders built it well, as it has stood the test of time. It is, I must reminded it, a place where other have left their mark, not as vandals, but as people needing to make their mark in time for future reference. And finally I would confirm that it brings joy to many of us who have had the pleasure of its very presence.
Below is my tribute to this very cool and wonderfully bridge, rendered in HDR, from photos I took with my Powershot SX10is.
Test Driving New Themes
Over the next few weeks or so I am going to test drive different themes. I really did not put much thought into my theme when I first started: I just wanted to get my stuff out there and share it others! So let me know what you think and till the next time meet one of my favorite sweat bees: Genus Agapostemon – Metallic Green Bees. Not the best capture but one does the best one can on windy days!
I used my Olympus Sp-350 in the commission of this capture.
A Lovely Start
I love photographing thistles in full bloom and the potpourri of pollinators that populate them. I have tried several times to get an acceptable capture of the thistle as it starts to bloom but I have not been happy with the results. That changed tonight, when I downloaded the below picture, and finally got a decent shot of a thistle in the early stage of blooming. Yes I think it is a lovely start.
Do You See What I See?
I was driving down a private lane and stumbled upon a wonderful sight. See if you can see what I did in the photo below.
I was not sure if you could find the wonderment I found, so I took the below picture for your enjoyment!

Duck, Duck, Goose
With The Bride at a meeting this evening I spent a little time at the lake. I am trying to get in tune with my Powershot SX10is so it was nice to have the space to do so. Here are a few from that adventure.
