Range Time – Notice how you cannot see a target in this picture? There is a good reason for that…

My View From the Hammock – We did some yard work this morning. Afterwards, I indulged in a few minutes in the hammock.

Is the Art in the Photograph or the Processing? TLDR: Both. Four-minute read, 23 pictures

I like this crop so much, I wish I’d taken this as a separate picture. However, the wider shots I took came out pretty well too. 3

Chandelier Through the Window — This is probably an unrepeatable picture, as very shortly the clear pane is going to be replaced with frosted glass.

Gary and Lanie go hiking on the Yellow trail at Busiek State Forest and Wildlife area. We took a quick side trip to introduce Lanie to the old panel van 7 pictures

Laine wouldn’t get in and pretend to drive – Lanie joined me for a short hike on the Yellow Trail at Busiek. We went off-trail a bit so she could see the old panel van. I wanted Lanie to get in and pretend to drive, but the lack of any sort of solid floor put her off the idea. 2 pictures

Lanie spotted this on the trail, and a fair bit of Googling hasn’t come up with a formal name for this, or an explanation of how it forms. Pretty cool though.

Routine Cleaning – Cleaning and fixing things was not quite my plan for the day, but that is what I ended up doing. +3

Roomba Cleaning – The Roomba started to do the ‘circle dance’ again. I love the idea of the Roomba, and when it works it is great. However, the design sucks.

Ginger lent Tubby her phone and Tubby wore himself out trying to watch bird videos. It’s tough being a half blind, half deaf cat.

One of the very first photographs I took when I bought my first digital camera. I’ve always liked this image, when I decided to re-visit the picture I also produced this black and white version. Fawley Oil Refinery, Southampton Water, Hampshire, UK.

How many old cameras do I need? This is not a serious attempt at a picture, I was just pointing my camera at things in my office late one night.
