Day 200 - Random shots from an hour of meandering... Love when I just get to wander and shoot whatever I see! 1st, some odd art in the mouth of an alley way. I work for attention and Facebook likes? Down another alley, just around the bend. "Taking a break."

Day 199 - After the Rain Something BDH said about blending a good B&W with a good Color got me to thinking a bit, and I had this shot from yesterday for my 365... so I did it. Created the color version I like the best, created another B&W that I loved, blended the two. May not have been ALL...

Day 198 - Around the house, a delving into abstract Brushing up on seeing art in simple things... Shakin' up the routine... ...until I'm persuaded to smile by some hidden sight, now seen.

Day 197, Part 2 The one above, I edited in some blur under the towel to lend a feel to the "presence" of something there. Here's one without that, so much. Which gives the better feel, do ya think?

Day 197 - Toying around with an idea... ...when I got this creepy feeling, so I threw my towel and ran! Well, ok. Ran to my camera. It's not perfect, but I wanted to mess around and see what I could come up with. :)

Day 196 - After work R&R RARE day in mid-July for us, High's in the high 70's, with a nice calm COOOOOOL evening. Had to take advantage of it with a little brew and some pinion wood.

Day 195 - Daisy New LITTLE bloom on my darling daisy... it's been a while, but 4 more coming up behind this one!

Day 194 - Cute lil' distraction... Ever since Piglet has been gone, this little Jack-lass has done her best to distract me. She's constantly on the old chair next to my desk, quietly demanding my attention. Today, I snapped a couple of shots. USUALLY, she's holding a toy up here for me to...

Day 193 - Super Moon Day 2 Yup, another shot... then a couple of the moon helping with a different kind of shot. Sweet Gum Tree - probably could have gone to ISO 200 for this one. Sycamore Tree

Here's my super moon from tonight.

Day 192 - Super Moon Caught it early...

Day 191 - SURPRISE! I spent all day at work thinking, "This rain is gonna be good for my flowers!" Then I came home to find out that my Marigolds didn't like the TORRENTIAL rain... they were bowing their heads in defeat. Then, just before it was too dark to get a pic, our backyard bunny...

Day 189 - Shots of Opportunity Not GREAT shots by any means of the imagination. I took my lunch hour and went to my local park to see if I could catch the Green Heron running around again, but guessing it was too hot for him today. After an uneventful (but sweaty) stroll, I headed back to the...

Here ya go @nikonpup and @PapaST - the original (just cropped) followed by the edited version to keep 'em close for comparison.

Tonight's moon with my 70-300 VR, hand held and then majorly worked over to draw out every tiny detail.

Day 188 - Lunar Callings One subject I'll never get tired of shooting... the moon. Really worked the heck outta this shot, sharpening and drawing out details to see how far I could go. Shot it with the Primal Beast in 1.3x crop mode, then cropped some more.

Day 187 - ARGH! Found a spot, on the previous day, that had HUNDREDS of these blooms, with some kind of white bloom mixed in. Apparently, though, they are morning bloomers and weren't out for the sunset light as I had hoped. Just these few were blooming when I arrived, so I made the best of...

Day 186 part 2 - afterthought Just to show how close she let me get before warning me, though, here's a 100% crop from 300mm. She was standing VERY STILL in the hopes I wouldn't notice her at all. I was probably within 6-8 feet before the whole routine started.

Day 186 - Killdeer! So on Thursday, my wife and son headed out to help her company set up for the huge local fireworks display, and while hanging signs, they spotted this little lady and her eggs... TODAY, after getting up at 5:30 a.m. to clean up the aftermath of debris that's left over from...

Posted these in my 365, but might as well put 'em here too! ;) All of mine were handheld, as I wasn't about to haul camp chairs, snacks, full cam kit AND the tripod!! Kept 'em a bit short exposure than I could have on a tripod, of course, but didn't mind the results at all! I'll just post a...
