Day 105 - April 15th, 2014.... Tuesday was the day of the eclipse... I took a plain shot at 2:00am... by 3:00am full overcast, no moon and never to re-appear. I know some of the folks here had some good shots and I enjoyed looking at them.

Here is what I ended up with for today (moon I shot was ok, but plain, tossed it)

Laser etched markings on parts.... Unlike "printing", it is permanent.

Swan at Horseshoe Pond....

There were mass of these birds at the pond, not much bigger than a Robin, they flew into the wind just above the water.
They then soared up, reversed direction, and went back with the wind. At the other end, reversed again and repeated!!~ fast too!

Nice shots. This looks like a Tree Swallow. They are fast buggers and hard to get like that.

Spotting something they did not like... the male reversed direction and headed towards the threat. He slowly
picked up speed, feathers spread and plowing water like a naval ship!

The result, the geese decided to leave! :)

Day 108 - April 18th, 2014.... Friday, finally! Flooring was finished at 8:30 last night so most of today was spent trying to get the house back together. Took a few shots around the house when I took a break.

This is Texture Day!

My Pet Rock, playing in the dirt! :)

Ok my friends (and others), I regretfully will be withdrawing from the 365 "Contest" portion. When I started, I knew there would be issues with prepping a house for sale, retirement, buying a house out of state and moveing.

I have been so busy the last couple weeks it has been a struggle to get some decent shots and I have been pleased... but this day was coming This weekend, though I have a 3 day weekend, there is so much to do here the RE Agent coming monday and getting ready to list. I took a break yesterday and did ok with my Texture theme and I was pleased.. but today is another story. I have been so busy, up working at 5:00am and now it's 5:30pm... I have no ideas and no time. I do not want to resort to snapping pictures of door knobs apart for repair or other such things. Rather than do that, I am stepping aside.

I will be shooting everyday that I can, and posting to the 365 thread most days but just no longer in the "contest" portion. I know that most will understand, I would rather shot quality and/or an "idea" than just take a picture to make a quota (daily). Best wishes to those still in, I will likely not get anymore this weekend... But Monday is a new week! :)

Great work Pat a 365 is by no means an easy feat. I for one think you have done well, and although I will be sad to not see your photos each day I understand the time restraints that affect us all. My photos of recent have been resorted to holiday snaps and the odd wild life/macro as I too either have no time or the weather is wet/too hot etc.

Looking forward to your continued photos.
