I am on a little bit of a “shooting into the sun” journey right now. I do not believe it is in response to some inwardly morphing of my self awareness because I dive too deeply into the shallow well for that. It is something I find to be cool. Enjoy!
I took this last week and I hope it brings you pleasant thoughts and peace during life’s storms.
As The Bride took a moment at the lake yesterday something became quickly apparent: I realized getting good shots with a favorable sun and angles was going to be tough. Why? Because families were out feeding the ducks and such and that meant they moved from where I have had some good conditions before. This is not a real problem because it is nice to see parents and their children doing something together! So here is two into the sun. Enjoy!
The Bride and I took a little walkabout at the lake this evening. It was a nice break from the going on’s in our lives at this juncture. One of the many things I love about her is she encourages and supports my photography habit. Well that is up to the point of spending dollars we do not have at this moment on a new camera! But alas all is not lost since my sister-in-law lets me borrow her Nikon D40. The following shots are from that walk with The Bride. Enjoy!
As The Boy and I took our morning stroll, in search of the perfect poo”spot”, I noticed that dew was gracing all natures wonders this fine morning. After his business was completed we went back inside and I grabbed my Sp350 and pops FinePix S700.The hope was to get several shots with the morning sun dancing across or draping the morning dew draped landscape. Here are a few of the Dew as I see it. (As an aside to clear up any confusion The Boy is my little buddy Ficus, a Corgi, not a real boy. Upon reflection it is now past his bath time, due to an unexpected surgery, and he smells like a teenage boy so there are some similarities!)
I am usually happy with most of my photos but I have struggled with my “stuff” since I started using my pops FujiFilm FinePix S700. Added to the learning curve of an unfamiliar camera is a few more health issues within the Family. My mother-in-law has been sick and has been hospitalized for several days now. It just keeps getting better and better I tell you.
As I make small but important times of quite, I also try to squeeze in a few shots here and there as well. As I look through my stuff and gather a few to post I have made the following observations:(1) I have less to choose from since my time has been limited and I take just a hand full of shots each time. (2) They are not very good and (3) I am o.k. with that. We do not always get what we want but I have learned to enjoy what I have been given, within the space and time I have, and to find the joy in it. It really is good enough.
This week I took several shots I was hoping to post on this blog. As I was perusing those few worth (read: those I got lucky on) photos I choose these two pictures. As I did so something seemed off until a little bell awakened me: These two photos look as if I took them in the Fall not in the Summer. Weird but beautiful for I am an Autumn kind of guy. Until the next time Enjoy!
This view greeted my as I enjoyed my morning coffee this past weekend.
This will be a my last post for a few days. I am going whitewater rafting this coming weekend. At first I was not going since I just simply could not afford it but a unanimous “sponsor” paid my way. This will be my first time whitewater rafting so I am looking forward to it and the break it will bring in my crazy little life.
The above picture as I said is inspired by the blog Mikes Look at Life. You should check it out!
We’ve been blessed with several good,earth soaking rains of late. Though it will not offset the loses to our nations crops it is still none the less appreciated. After a nice steady rain ended today I was able to grab the following shots. Enjoy!
