Late at night sitting on my uncle’s sofa, apparently with a ceramic pigeon sticking out of my head (365:180) — UK June 2011 – Day 15. More hiking, lots of driving, and a fish supper.

A new camera doesn’t mean more creativity, yet. Let’s hope once I’ve started to master it the creative juices will commence flowing. Just one more day until we get on the ‘plane and head to the UK. I’ve not really thought about how I’ll keep my 365 Days postings going while we’re away. We’ll have to see. Today’s extras

Waiting and Writing. Sitting waiting in the car is one of the few places and times I get a chance to stop and think. 2

Enough! (365:153) – Keeping this project going is becoming a chore and is taking up too much of my time.

New Gloves (365:161) — I guess there’s no need to explain why.

Clearing up the workshop (365:138) –

Lighting test (365:128) – One word adequately summarizes my day – Meh. One-minute read, 6 pictures

EFM Retreat (365:127) – This week’s EFM class was held on a Saturday,so we got out of the classroom and spent the day in a cabin by the river. It was very nice to sit in the screened porch going through the lessons and exercises; a day of good company, conversation, discussions, food, and coffee. One-minute read

Drawing (365:122) — Tonight I was working on the design of my next backpacking wood burner. 3

Living with cats (365:121) — Today I almost committed the ultimate 365 Days faux pas, because for the first time this year I forgot to take my picture. 2 2

Bedtime (365:116). One-minute read

Once again I had a plan. Once again, unfortunately, it didn’t work out. Tonight I had a boys’ night out while the kids were at Youth Group. I was going to take advantage of this and grab my picture with the guys at Ebbets Bar. Unfortunately, there was an ‘event’ at Ebbets, so we went to the Springfield Micro Brewery instead. There were no tables near our booth to rest the camera on, so that idea didn’t work out. I had a great time with the lads. We ought to try and get out more often. In the end I

Beauty and the (out of focus) beast (365:106) – I had a self portrait planned for today. It involved putting the camera on the tripod, gathering the family, and taking a picture with Dash and Leslie. The plan was fine, the execution impossible, I was just too busy taking the wedding pictures to fit it in. I’m lucky I got one at all, as I took two shots and this is the fairly heavily edited best of the pair.

Fishing (365:101) – Today I went fishing with Tom on Table Rock Lake. Video: 1 minute. 3 pictures.

Meh (365:099) +2

Reconnoiter (365:096) – In ten days time I’ve got to do a photo shoot. This afternoon Ginger and I spent some time on location checking the light and looking for suitable picture opportunities. What happens will all depend on the weather on the day. One-minute read, +2

Sprinky appears to be giving me the ‘evil eye’ (365:092) — You would have thought I would have got the hang of this self-portrait taking thingy by now. Alas that isn’t the case. immortalize any of these activities in the digital photographic medium? No. 2 pictures

Late night stand-by (365:091)

Parallel Guide (365:090)

That’s it for today (365:089) – The problem with going away is processing all the pictures and writing it up when I get back. Still, I’m all caught up now and it’s all up and posted. I have to admit the last hour or so was wasted looking dumbly at the screen; I didn’t take anything in.
