Day One Hundred Seventy Eight Still playing with the Macro. Just a simple grass stalk with seeds.

Day One Hundred Seventy Seven I went back to these flowers to try a Bumble Bee shot with the 105mm. I had picked a flower and got as close as I could and focused on the flower. Along came the bumble bee and I started snapping. I didn't realize until after he flew away that this tiny, almost...

Day One Hundred Seventy Six I drove to the store to get a few tomatos for dinner. As I was walking up the steps, I dropped one. After Slicing it open, we decided it was a good thing I bought more than one. I can't wait till our plants start ripening (see day 171).

re: Weekly Challenge June 17 - June 24: "Simple" Gotta get one of my own in. Don't see how I can compete with some of the others but it fits the category. When you gotta go, you gotta go... It's as simple as that. Nikon D60 18-55 Kit lens @55 1/60 sec at F8 ISO 100

Day One Hundred Seventy Five No caption here. I also used this shot for the weekly contest (It's called Lazy), and put the caption there.

Day One Hundred Seventy Four I had to build up some connectors today. The diameter measured at the pins is about 1/2 inch (12mm) Each pin gets a wire soldered into it. Tough work when your eyes are as bad as mine.

Day One Hundred Seventy Three I'm going crazy trying to get ideas. This is not meant to be a complaint but when there's limited mobility, you quickly run out of stuff to shoot. I was messing around with a very old and long time disconnected pc for the grandkids to play with. Couldn't get on...

Day One Hundred Seventy Two Tomorrow you may get a very similar shot. Today all I had was the 18-55mm kit lens. I'm going to put the 105mm macro on tomorrow and see if the bumble bees are still out. I think I can do better with that lens. (at least I hope I can).

Again, Pete only eats that which is "Flattened" on the road. I heard he drives around with a shove. Meanwhile. To protect the others, we set traps last night and caught all 4 of snowballs pups. They have now been taken to be released where Mama was dropped off. It's hard to take a picture...

Day One Hundred Seventy One Didn't know what to put up today so I decided to post the beginning of what will become some good summer eating.

My three favorite shots of Snowball the Albino Groundhog. Found out today that a neighbor (two houses up) had trapped and got rid of two of Snowball's pups. This evening she trapped Snowball and was going to get rid of her. When we found out, we asked to allow us to get rid of her. Another...

Day One Hundred Seventy Was going by a burn barrel (for trash) and got the idea of trying to shoot fire. Had to experiment a lot but did get a few good shots.

Day One Hundred Sixty Nine Couldn't get online yesterday. Drove down to Richmond to see Mom and Dad. (87 & 92 respectively). Got a fair shot of Muffet, my dad's toy poodle.

Day One Hundred Sixty Eight I was sitting on the deck trying to catch a bird or two but they refused to cooperate. I had to settle for this little critter. I heard he was keeping 1287 eyes on me. By the way. Snowball isn't the only one with red eyes.

Day One Hundred Sixty Seven A little excitement into an otherwise beautiful day in our neighborhood. Not sure exactly what but a neighbor's garage caught fire. No one inside at the time. Of course the hometown heros (Fire/Police/Rescue) were promptly on the scene and took care of matters...

I had originally planned to use the camera on the optical microscope at work but there were problems with it and it won't be fixed until next week. So then I got the idea to go grander and use the Electron Microscope but it's in the Clean Room and I don't go in there. Lest I miss getting an...

Day One Hundred Sixty Six I'm not really happy with putting up another photo of snowball, but she's all I have this evening. Besides, the rarity of an Albino groundhog merits multiple shots. She was in the back yard when I got home, and let me snap a few shots before going under the fence and...

Day One Hundred Sixty Five I told my wife a button came off my shirt. This is what she gave me.

Day One Hundred Sixty Four Today we have another FutterBly

Day One Hundred Sixty Three Summer Snowballs. SPLAT!!!
