I got some cheap ND filters a while back and I wanted to try long exposure day shot. First attempt.

Kind of a boring days for pictures. Some macro and grandkids.

Lunch time pictures. A walk in the park and on the new bridge. Also, a sparrow on a one way sign.

I went out Sunday for the art walk. There was only one artist in town. He self taught himself and does great work. I then found out that the local saddle club opened for the season and went down there.

I met Gene a couple years ago. He would wear funny hats that were made for or given to him. He was always in the chair by the door to the coffee shop I delivered. We would say hi to each other and say a few words. Gene wasn't around for a few weeks and I knew he was going to the VA for tests. I finally saw him at the coffee shop a few weeks ago along with an oxygen tank. I asked what's with the tank. He tells me not to worry the doctors said he would only need it for a few months. Which I knew meant that's how long he had. He decided not to go through Chemo. He also said he has no regrets and he has had the best 83 years.

Bittersweet story Just-Clayton. Sad and yet he must have lead a fulfilling life to stay so positive, you captured him nicely.

This is a very touching story and portrait. He looks very happy. You are lucky to know a person like this.

Gene writes poetry. He has a book he is writing and hopes to finish. His children are going to publish it after he passes.

That is really sweet, it would be so nice if you could share some of his poems.

I went to my moms for a visit this morning since my family is headed to Virginia beach tomorrow for a few days. From the time I got there to the time I left a few hours later, I had gotten a picture of geese, an osprey, the pond, Baltimore Orioles, many creatures in macro and a fox near its den. The den is only about 50 yards from her trailer.

 

[Just-Clayton]

OOPS!! I forgot the fox picture.
