Day 95 - April 5th, 2014.... It is grey and a little raw with the wind... I had a bunch of indoor projects so I worked on those.

For shots today, I grabbed the 105 macro and just shot around my house.

Hoping everyone has a good weekend and get some great shots!

Day 96 - April 6th, 2014.... Today was beautiful, sunny with nice blue skys. Headed over to Nashua with my Tokina 12-24....

Headed up north part of town and shot a couple residences...

Swung by Holman Stadium... Historic as Jackie Robinson played here before being called up to Brooklyn

Nashua Firefighters Memorial.. Flag at Half Staff for the 2 Boston
firefighters who recently gave their lives on the job.

Nashua City Hall and a statue to JFK who visited & spoke here Jan 1960 to start his Campaign.

At this point, I changed to the 55-300 and took these last 2 photos.....

Homeless on a bench and looking back up Main Street.

Great shots, that homeless guy looks to have an army backpack of some sort. Would be interesting hearing his story.

RockyNH_RIP · Apr 7, 2014

Thanks Scott... yes it looked that way (backpack). I do not know about weekdays but they are usually parked on those benches right in front of City Hall...

Day 99 - April 9th, 2014.... It was clear and sunny today!!! Nice! Took a few at work and a few out and about... The rivers are all swollen from the rain and melting snow, the bird feeders are apparently gone for good.. and Horseshoe was way high water lever (the area I thought the swans might be looking to nest in was under water!)

These 1st photos are all taken with the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro...
2 lamp posts in the dark on my way in to work....

The next 2 shots were both in maintenance, no staging, just shot what I saw....

Cutter for one of the machines in the tool room...

My snack for the day!!

Fence post (gate) at the RC field.....

I now changed to the 55-300 Nikon zoom....
Squirrell was by the road coming out of the RC field.

5 shot HDR at Horseshoe Pond

This one never came out of the swamp....

Actually I like all your images but as you know, I like the natural a bit more

Maybe cos I grew up in an urban area where the birds were our alarm-clock, the rising and the setting sun the curtain, and the area around the house including the forest our living-room.
