Silhouette At Sunset

Needing Some Pretty

As I sit here looking around the faceless landscape of my moms ER room, with the ever-present hums of medical equipment and the cooling system, I reflect on many things. One is how is the canvas of my life going to look when she is gone. Bigger yet how is it going to look while she is still here. Cancer is an ugly beast and the death it brings is usually more so. This is, I am relatively sure, going to be one of a series of visits till what will be will be. We need some pretty about right now.

I showed mom some photos I have taken and stored on my old lap top to kill a little time. The Mac is old but I am grateful to have it as a diversionary tool from the reality we are walking through right now. The following picture is one she liked because it was pretty. We are needing us some pretty right now.

Reflections Such As They Are

One Into The Setting Sun

One From A Year Past

I took this picture a year ago almost to the day. I was using my dads Fuji FinePix S700 to compare it to my PowerShot S3is. The S3is was the winner for me because of its remarkable versatility and all around solid performance. Now that my S3is is dead I am going to have to borrow pops little shooter for next weekends Cruise downtown. I am hoping I can translate nature shots into some decent pictures of yesterdays muscle cars.

Two From The Square

I took the two following photos on our little towns downtown square. I am trying to expanded my palate for your viewing pleasure.These were taken with my Canon G3. Old school that’s how I roll!

White Against Blue and Brown Eyes True

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA — The Clouds added a great layer of texture to the sky!

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.

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:)!
