Pictures of people, friends, and family.
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
Campfire (365:163) – Today we drove to St Louis to drop the girls off with their father for a few weeks in Chicago while we cross the Atlantic and spend some time in the UK. Alek is staying at home to work and hopefully not burn the house down in our absence.
New Toy (365:162) — Today was a big shopping day. After leaving my decision to buy a new camera to percolate overnight, this morning we went to the camera shop and dished out the dosh.
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
Geek Glasses (365:160) — While Lanie’s away we’ll go have a double dip cone with the big kids and steal their glasses for a photo opportunity.
Vodka, tonic, and Indiana Jones. That’s just what was needed to relax at the end of a stress-filled day.
Shopping Day (365:158)
My legs and two cats (356:157) – Carefully framed to remain family friendly, and no, there are no outtakes.
Wall + Gary = Today’s picture (365:156)
Van Repairs (365:154) – A few days ago the van’s AC went on the blink again. This time it’s jammed on, which is better than it not working at all. It blows air even when the fan’s turned off. 2 pictures
Enough! (365:153) – Keeping this project going is becoming a chore and is taking up too much of my time.
Pumping Gas (365:152) – Is no longer a gas. In fact, it’s darned expensive, even though the price has now dropped back slightly to $3.53 a gallon.
May 2011.
New Gloves (365:161) — I guess there’s no need to explain why.
Waking up (365:150) – For once we didn’t hang around too long drinking coffee and eating breakfast, though it was still ten am before we were back on the trail. Two-minute read, 7 pictures
Lunch by the bluffs on Long Creek (365:149). Two-minute read, 8 pictures
Just before I stuck my head in the falls behind me (365:148) – Invigorating was one word for it. Three-minute read, +9
Off backpacking for the weekend (365:147). Two-minute read
Bull Shoals Lake – Normal Pool Elevation 654′ (365:146) – Currently the elevation is 696′. That’s a foot over its fully flooded design capacity. One-minute read
Lights, camera, inaction (365:145) – This was going to be another of those late night leaning against the wall shots.
Return (365:144) – Second day at the computer working on websites. The work’s done and posted, as illustrated in today’s photo. All I need is the customer feedback, complete the inevitable changes and then to make it live. I guess I ought to clean my keyboard – this looks disgusting. One-minute read
Late night glass of water (365:144) – Well, it is a picture, and I took it today. It meets the 365 Days criteria, what more could I want? Whatever artistic excellence and inspiration there was is on the decline again.
Antibiotic (365:143) – The wonders of hindsight enable me to declare this ‘the week of the digit’. It also enables me to declare this the week of extreme photographic, and probably documentary apathy. There’s a chance it might end up being only four days of digits and not a week. We’ll see.
