day 199 july 18th

a few from a walk about with Ryan.

2 small gnat catchers

a small wild sunflower

i wish it was autumn and the weather was cooling down, we are still waiting on the hot spell

a magnolia flower

a rushed shot as Ryan was unsettled sitting on the wall, he didnt want to pose

 

[Tom Grove]

I love the clarity in your shots! What is it with these kids not wanting their pictures taken? I have to beg/bribe Anthony half the time. lol

day 200 july 19th

Rebecca's private lesson in Taekwondo was pushed back from 8 to 11am so i got out early for some shots

a few of the owls, i notice one has lost part of his/her ear

 

[Roy1961]

i have heard of "walking your dog" but this is a bit odd, especially as the coyotes live in this hill

 

[Roy1961]

is that someones version of "Rockhenge" lol

I was thinking water bottle Stonehenge. lol

I wonder if that owl won or the adversary did.

 

[Roy1961]

day 201 20th July

a few from todays walkabout with fellow nikonite Tom

a few pics from the entrance to the orange empire railway museum

 

[Roy1961]

a rare moment when Rebecca and Ryan are at peace, the last one was taken inside a mail train, i had to stick my camera in a slot and hope for the best

 

[Roy1961]

a few bugs in the tree

one of the trains brakes, note the squashed quarter on the track (tom did this, i was completely innocent)

we waited until the train passed to take this picture, Anthony doesnt like the noise.

 

[Roy1961]

i had my 18-105 on today for a change, i figured i need the wideness rather than the sigmas zoom, although being beside the skydive it would have been handy for that.

But we had a great day with Tom and Anthony, we finished up at his pool where Rebecca and Ryan had a great time.

day 202, 21st july

a few from the skate park

 

[Roy1961]

this lady was out on her horse i was hoping she turned my way, but she headed between the sun and me

 

[Tom Grove]

Really good shots Roy! I see they reopened the skate-park. What did they do to make it safer?

 

[Roy1961]

i was told they where laying something on the ground, dont know how you can lay softer concrete???

Hmmmmm... Could be something like the surface they put down when I played inline hockey. It was like concrete but coated, I guess, with something that made it a bit softer and repel condensation a lot more.

day 203, 22nd july

a few of a not much detailed moon at 4:00am ish

not my best moon shots by far? a shot of my ever cleaner work tank, its recovering from a bad black algae attack, i hope i have seen the back of it.

a flower i tried to focus on the shadow of its center, flop.

 

[Roy1961]

i think i spoke to soon about the algae i see it starting to grow again.
