Day 222, August 9th

Guess where my D800 money went… Discovered that I will have to replace my house drainage system...

So you're saying that your money is going down the drain?

You bank account is being drained?

You are no longer flush with cash?

(This is fun!)

No, I just had a crack repaired but they found old cement drain pipes around the house and that could be expensive to replace. But I'll see how it's going to go. As long as the water stops from coming in the basement I'll be a happy camper.

My neighbor asked me to come and have a look at that thing. Anyone wants to guess what it is?

Looks like a tomato.

Looks like a tomato.

Bingo, but what kind?

Bingo, but what kind?

Looks like an heirloom that went homely!

Kinda like me!

 

[Marcel]

Neighbor said it was a "Pumpkin tomato". Had never heard or seen them before. Maybe she's right and then maybe she's not.

Looks like a banana in steroids.... Anyway I haven't heared about that tomato kind before....

I know that Marcel likes pianos. Here is a "square grand" that is on display at the university where i work. Thought you may like it.

Day 223, August 10th

Nothing like the smell of flowers after a rain. And nothing like a dry basement after a rain too.

A+ on both. A wet basement can really dampen your day! Lovely image. Great colours, nice composition, great bokeh. Well done.

See? I told you we make a great team. Some people call them Heirloom Brandywines.

Thanks Art. Amazing what this old 55 1.2 can do still.

I'm cat sitting this week and the poor thing misses her mistress, but not as much as I.

Day 224, August 11th

Found this little caterpillar and took a few shots. Difficult to focus on the eyes… Do they have any?

 

[Marcel]

Thought I'd post something nicer than the caterpillar. I went to see a road construction site and was hoping for a nice landscape view. But, I got this.

I really like this. It's the kind of thing that's a candidate for tilt-shift effect.

If you look closely, you'll see that you DID photograph Caterpillars!

Ah just a fluke.
