Day One Hundred Sixty Two Simple little volunteer flower. This is a pot the wife didn't plant this year. Mostly wild stuff growing from the seed scatter at the bird feeder. I saw the purple tinge and pushed the weeds away to find this little beauty.

Day One Hundred Sixty One Decided to practice for a little sparkle tonight. After all, the July 4th celebrations are less than a month away. I used about a dozen sparklers and experimented with F-stops and shutters. F-stop had very little effect. Shutter speeds did. Faster speeds captured...

Day One Hundred Sixty Personally, I like to get shots out of the way early. Then I have something to pick from. Not today. Too busy at work and then grocery store afterward. I figured I could try some late night stuff of stars or light painting or stuff. I went out onto the deck to check...

Day One Hundred Fifty Nine Home Town Heros

Day One Hundred Fifty Eight Neighbor was trying to restore the headlight lenses on his wife's car. The brand he bought isn't working too well. I can't remember the brand I got from my son in law last year, but it really worked on my car. I'm gonna make sure the neighbor gets the good stuff...

Day One Hundred Fifty Seven This morning's impromptu moon shot (only had the 18-55 with me but had to try) actually turned out to be my best shot of the day. Now this brings me to a question. I've seen a number of moon shots where the moon is enormous. It is usually presented along with a...

Day One Hundred Fifty Six Today we have a view of the front walk for one of the dorms from the Original University of Virginia. These rooms are where the first students lived. One of the rooms is open for viewing because it was where Edgar Allen Poe lived prior to dropping out ( he went broke...

OK, here's my entry. It is accompanied with a little history lesson Thomas Jefferson had numerous gardens planted around the university area. Around some he put brick walls that ran in a serpentine pattern. He built these walls because they could use only one row of bricks and still maintain...

Day One Hundred Fifty Five Snowball was our touring again. Had to lean out the LR window to get this one. Tried to make some noise to get her to turn, but it only spooked her into the woods.

Day One hundred Fifty Four First signs of new life in our cantelope garden. To be totally honest, the garden is simply a pot on the deck that my wife dropped some cantalope seeds into.

Day One Hundred Fifty Three Saw this little lady in a pet shop. The owner brought her around for all to see (had my grandkids with me). She was a bright green in the tank, but was just starting to change when the pet shop lady put her on the arm. It was funny because she backed away from...

Day One Hundred Fifty Two What can I say. Shylo got another Chemo treatment today. On the ride home she was enjoying the breeze. Wrap the strap around your wrist a few times and aim out the window and toward the back. Then rapid fire and hope for the best. Please note. Only moving at...

Day One Hundred Fifty One. Just didn't feel like taking any pictures. Got home and discovered the Gas Regulator on the grill has a bad leak. I took some shots of it to send to Weber. The grill is a little over a year old. Surely the regulator is covered under the warranty.

Day One Hundred Fifty Didn't get much yesterday. Best shot was the bark of an old tree. I really didn't get to shoot much. Had to take Charlie to the vet (again). Unfortunately, his red blood cell count was so low that nothing could be done. We had to let him go on to a place where he...

Day One Hundred Forty Nine Another totally wasted day. About the only shot I got today that wasn't out of focus, or blurry, was one of a foot tall tomato plant. I really didn't want to use that as today's subject so when I let the dogs out this evening, I saw this half moon. I grabbed the...

Day One Hundred Forty Eight Since I been in bed sick most of day, I opted not to go outside but to find something in the house to take a picture of. My wife gave me this screeming rubber chicken. She got it at a yard sale for a dime. When squeezed it makes a noise that irritates both of the...

Day One Hundred Forty Seven Here come da Judge. 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that is. Of course, it's only us old "GOATS" that will remember this beast.

Day One Hundred Forty Six I think I need to come up with some Ideas Quickly. I'm running out of flowers at work to shoot. These are in a small courtyard outside our break/lunch room

Day One Hundred Forty Five I just love days when I can take pictures of five or six different things and then have to narrow it down to one. sometimes it's too hard to get to one so today is a TWOFER day.

Day One Hundred Forty Four Today was a total wash as far as photography goes. I was racking my feeble little brain for a topic when I looked out the window toward the neighbor's garden (re: day 133) when I saw Snowball, the elusive albino groundhog, munching on the rhubarb. We see him about...
