A Few With The PowerShot SX260

I am still pretty busy but I still try to grab the rare opportunity to take the shot when I can. I am using my PowerShot SX260 as my number one shooter since I have to take my pops FujiFilm S700 back to him. Mom and pop are heading to a lake cabin for what may be their last Anniversary. He wants his camera for the occasion for obvious reasons.

After a nice talk tonight with mom I decides to take a break and look at the shots I have taken over the last several days. All are taken with my PowerShot SX260. I am heading into a new chapter with it and I am cautiously optimistic. Here are several I have taken this week. Enjoy!

Slowing Down

Over the next several weeks I will be slowing down the pace of my posts. I have several projects that I need to finish around our place before the weather gets to cold. I need to go see mom and get a few things done around the folks place. I also have a few opportunities to bang on the drums over the next week. As you can surmise it’s not life that’s slowing down but my photo taking play time!

So here is one to slow down on till the next time. Enjoy!

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.
“Hey what you looking at?”

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!
The Boy picks up scent. Cute isn’t he?

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.

 

 

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!

I got a little to close for the macro on my pops FujiFilm S700 but I like it anyway 🙂
I love water drops and this Lily has plenty of those!
I was not far enough back to call this a good shot but once again I like it.
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.

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.
