My 600th Post

As I posted yesterday a number on my nine caught my attention: Post number 599. I really did not think much of it but as my six-hundredth post was looking me in the face this Evening I had nothing. As a semi-grown up I spent several hours more on my taxes trying to find all I have coming to me and The Bride. No more but no less and a very tension filled dance indeed. After that last tango with my soul, and the tax code, I did not feel like posting. As a distraction I decided to look through some files off my old Dell to see if I had missed any hidden treasures that may lift my spirits. I found it in the form of a capture of a great feline and wonderful companion named Freckles. Though no longer with me and The Bride in the flesh he lives on through us to be My 600th Post!

One From Pop

I was looking through some of the xD cards of my Dad and found a treasure: Pictures he took. Simple captures and moments I get to look into. For me that is very nice. Here is one from Pop.

A Couple Of Hand Held HDR Photos

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post I had spent the hour I had to kill taking some pics. Since I do not own a good, or even a half-way decent tri-pod I did these hand. With that said any ideas on a good-to-great-very-mobile-lightwieght-full-size-tri-pod?As I wait for replies to this question, here are a couple of hand-held HDR photos.

A Very Good Gray Day

I had an hour to kill in between get things signed and dropping them off today so I made the best of it. Here are a few from a very good gray day. I used my Canon Powershot SX10is to take these captures.

The Difference Between Dogs And Cats

Dogs are such loyal and wondrous animals and know we, the human, are the masters. The cat? Well I will let Butterfly tell how it is in our relationship…………………………………………………

Hey You, Love Your Face

This is Miss Grace, she was my Pop’s dog and resides now with my brother. The Bride and I went to sort through some stuff and for me and my brother to work on estate details. Fun stuff in reverse world but in the real world this face makes it a little easier to take. I just love that face!

A Lovely Little Bit of Yellow

I used a new-to-me Canon PowerShot SD300 on this capture. It is going to be The Bride's camera as soon as I get a case for it. — I used a new-to-me Canon PowerShot SD300 on this capture. It is going to be The Bride’s camera as soon as I get a case for it.

Pondering Things To Bee My Honey

The titles of my posts have always been a challenge for me: I simple want to share my stuff and words just get in the way…..or at least the way I use them does more than not. So here is another stumble or not, enjoy none the less!

Look What Is Bloomin’ On The Hill

This May Be My Greatest Capture Ever

I am trying to get a grip on my lack of skill and discipline at categorizing my pictures, by actually trying to categorize my pictures, when I stumbled upon this one. I took it last year just a month after Mom died, “died” such a blunt word but it is what happened none the less, and it is one of two photos I feel may be my greatest capture ever. It is of my Pop’s dog Miss Grace (A dog The Bride and I rescued off a busy interchange along a major interstate and gave her to my dad. It was love at first sight and she was a wonderful companion till my Pops death in December of last year) and The Bride. I know why I love it, tell me why and how it may move you.
