Dawg Pic's, "Get off the couch" Part Deux

[Dawg Pics]

I created a 'get off the couch' thread back in 2017. Time to do it again.

Dropping water on the hot spots left behind by the 'Airport' fire.

Looking forward to seeing the images. So the fire near you are mostly out?

And what would the theme be for such a thread, pray, as it is not perfectly obvious to newbies...?

It isn't burning near us any longer, but it is still burning and is only 9% contained. It has destroyed at least 100 homes so far.

It is motivation for me to do something other than sit on the couch.
I have major depression, which makes it very difficult for me to function like a normal person, so I have to make myself get out and be active. It has taken a toll on my physical health, so I started doing something about that to make it easier for me to get out with the camera and just to feel better.
Now that the weather is getting cooler, it will be easier for me to go outside and shoot.

I am sorry to hear that... Well, it is good that you manage to motivate yourself. Taking pictures and being able to show them to online friends for them to enjoy is precious.

Thanks.
It was good that I picked-up photography as a hobby. I have stuck with that longer than anything else.

You have an entire forum who love and support you. I for one am looking forward to your pics.

Thank you, that means a lot to me. I"ll try not to disappoint. I really need to start planning some shoots and going to locations around here. That is the plan anyway.

Back in May, I got off the couch and went into the front yard.

Bottle Brush flower. (I think bottle brush should be two words because it is a type of brush. )

Clearing out the memory card.


The sky was not my friend that night.

A burning structure that I could see from my driveway. Over a mile away through smoke.

Partial lunar eclipse through a smoky atmosphere. (Blah)

Another use of a tripod, something to take pictures of.
