Saturday Unhurried

There is nothing I like more than going on a walkabout with the Bride. We always try to make Saturday’s unhurried but this time instead of a nature walkabout we checked our towns Second Saturday downtown event.

Our town is small but it has been around awhile as far as American standards go that is. What follows are a few photos from last evening. They were taken with my used PowerShot G3. I do not like using flash so the inside shots lack and will until I get a better handle on the cameras abilities ( and mine as well)!

The working art/jewelry studio of a very cool shop that supports local, state and regional artist.
The different layers of color are a delight.To bad the authors photo skills are not 😉
Hospitality in these here parts : Job One!

As I understand it the art work on the walls were done by the shops owner. The picture does not do them justice nor does the depth of styles and mediums come through either.
We had live music….
Good food…..
And met new friends!

Many Splendors From The Day

First things first: It rained here today! An honest to goodness earth soaking, dust covering rain! That is one splendor from the day but no photos I am afraid. During a break from the rain I happened on an old church off the beaten path on a wisp like tendril of a road. What follows are several shots of the life that still goes on at this boarded up but way cool old church. (Yes I said way cool:)!

Though the light is low I love the diverging colors, angles and shapes going on here.( I first typed angels instead of angles but who knows……) Taken with my SP350 Olympus
This one has a lot going on in the background. Taken with my PowerShot G3
This is what is going on inside the colors and angles of this place: A thriving Eco system living and working unseen by those passing by. Taken with my G3
This is the old church in B&W. Photo was taken with my G3

The next two are somethings I saw and took a moment to capture for your viewing pleasure.

Something I have not seen lately: A rain drop!

An Atypical Monday

Today started out well, almost great I would venture to say. The day greeted me with the soft hum of dawns warmth.
I arrived at work thinking a smooth Monday, well honestly a smooth ANY day, would be nice. It was a quiet, not brightly lit but lovely kind of day.
I could not believe my good fortune of how smooth of a day it was! So as soon as Five O’Clock arrived I took off for the friendly skies of my life’s airways!

I hope your Monday was a great atypical Monday!

A Friend, A Walk, A Good Time

The Bride and I went for a walk this evening right after a small but unsuccessful rain storm moved through. The storm did bring relief from the heat so I will give it its due for that part of it’s responsibilities.

We walked about and had no other task before us than to enjoy ourselves and that is what we did. Here are a few shots from the walkabout in the windy cool haze of today.
