Hollace was cutting out her “creature coins” from this piece of yellow paper. I couldn’t resist the color, shape and shadow against the blue wall.

I love the sky when it is windy. I usually refer to it as a great photo sky. Normally it is blue with crazy puffy clouds but in this case at least for the moment this picture was taken, it looked like this.

I so wished I had my wide angle lens for this shot cause I couldn’t step back enough to capture everything. I was too lazy to run back to the campsite to go and get it.

Fishin’

Here is RAW and Hollace sitting on the pier at the campground getting ready to fish. You see the sparkles in the water? That is the wind. It was a very windy cold day.

layers of texture on the water

I just liked all the different layers of texture on the water going on. How many layers do you see?

Flowering tree – Polaroid

Red wins!

This week is ‘Roid Week so all I shot this week was Polaroid. I am down to my last 2 packs then that is it, no more Polaroids and I can put my Spectra in my camera museum.

Doggy Diptych

These doggies apparently take turns barking at me.

Creepy Baby 2

Score! Creepy Baby comes home. Hollace found Creepy Baby on the street by that mailbox and brought him home to me.

Apparently Creepy Baby’s former life was as a Christmas ornament. He has wings and a loop on his head for hanging. I wonder if he ever had clothes.

I found this little angel (you can’t see his wings here) by our little beach. I put it back on top of the newspaper box when I was done. Tomorrow however, I am so going back and taking him home. I hope he is still there.

Abandoned bike

I found this by our beach. What a cool old blue bike.

Shot of spring

When I bought my black dining room table, it didn’t occur to me that it would make a great place for tabletop photography. It is my best photography prop yet!

Last year at this time I also shot a shot of spring.

Truck stop sink

Nasty bathroom but I found the sink photogenic

I so love what is going on in the window on the right

After 4.5 years, I finally bought a new camera. Right after I started my photoblog in October 2004 I bought the Canon 20D. That camera has served me well and it will continue to as a second camera. Last week I took delivery of a Canon 50D when I got a check for a photo I licensed to a greeting card company.

I shot a lot of photos last weekend testing the new camera out. This photo is the first I have posted with the new camera.

Chickens

Today is mine and RAW’s 16th wedding anniversary. If you don’t count the times I want to pummel him, I would say we are pretty happy.

I had today off not so much because of the anniversary but because it was the last weekday of Hollace’s spring break and wanted to go out and do something fun. We went to the Lake County Discovery Museum to check out their Prehistoric display. Then it was out to lunch then to see Monsters vs. Aliens which was suppose to be in 3d but not apparently in the multiplex we watched it at (I thought the movie was a bit lame).

It was a nice family day all in all. The chickens above had nothing to do with our day 😉

Dorothy turns 85

Dorothy turned 85 in June. I for some reason failed to post this then
