Been trying to upload the final picture of the final marshal - my bads as I hadn't resized it He was floating along behind and suddenly realised it was Sunday At least that's what I think happened

That's about it folks - if you got bored this guy takes half the blame. The rest of the blame goes to the other half of him. The other half was taking the photo. Bwahahaha It was a fun outing

Oops left out the Duck Vs Man sideshow It all seemed well organised with lots of marshals in attendance. This one saw me. "Good afternoon madam, Just taking photos" The rest were more intent on the job than the paparazzi And this one I like because of the duck (just above...

Then the swimmers started coming. First the leaders Then the trailing "bus" ( as it is called in running) They were followed by hundreds all spread out over a big distance but this particular lass, towards the back of the field, was very casually doing some backstroke. I loved her attitude

Oops I forgot to mention the day started with this outside my room This stump was on the side of the river bank This young lady framed by the bushes as she stepped on to nature's stage was a pleasant distraction And this fellow was headed up stream - which is why I left the photo...

Day 97 Picking up where I failed yesterday - because of lack of opportunity. There was the annual "5 Bridges Race" on the Waikato today. Total distance is over 7 kilometres and they swim with the current. Just as well as it is a pretty potent current. The winners do it in about 45 minutes -...

Day 96 Well fellow Nikonesians I promise I tried today. I set out to find something (anything other than traffic) that moves, in order to check my settings based on the PDF I studied yesterday. I was horribly disappointed and I can honestly say this has been the hardest day for me because I...

Day 95 Only 270 to go. Note to self when looking back: This is the day I studied this pdf for the D7000 about the focus modes and learned a few things. Went out to test what I had learned but never got any moving object opportunities. It is what it is. Note to forum members: I will now move on...

Day 94 We had some desperately needed rain today. But it kept me indoors and by the time it stopped the sun was down …. This is a photo of an outdoor ashtray. I assume the idea is you put your buts in the chute and they fill up the barrel at the bottom before it is emptied and they start...

Day 93 I found a leaf lying on the path I was on and thought "What would Jake do with this?" I just shot it! :o With winter approaching some of the neighbours are moving out. A little stump I thought was attractive.

Day 92 I feel like putting my feet up and reading today.

Day 91 Been away and photography not a priority so pickings are scarce for 2 days.

I liked the one above for the eyelines all looking at the subject And to end this series off there was a fellow with some strange make of camera there too … no idea who let him in!

Day 90 Strange how some days turn out. Heard these far off voices today and couldn't pinpoint them. In the end and after much driving around I found the commotion in late afternoon. It was the finals of the Punjabi Games - I kid you not. Approaching apprehensively I was amazed at the welcome I...

A much better background … First my position under the motorway The grand old lady on her homeward trip C'mom baby do the locomotion ... And away she goes - Auckland bound I rather liked this last one. Man I tell you what these things don't hang about. They move and you get one...

And I spotted this bit of graffiti while I was waiting for the train.

Day 89 We had a steam train visit today. It was fun waiting for it but the resultant shots have a terrible industrial background so will be going out later to get it on the return run out in the country without any building behind it.

Can you get any closer?
