It was a beautiful warm sunny day today. That’s something we haven’t seen much of lately. Of course, that means mowing the lawn while you have a window of opportunity. I didn’t mind, it actually wasn’t that bad. And it felt like summer today, which was pretty nice. At the end of the day I got to relax on the…

365-140 For no apparent reason
It turned out to be a decent day today, so my wife and I decided to take a little walk after lunch. Since the streets around our house are heavy with traffic and we didn’t want to travel far, we decided to take a walk in the city park. Yeah, the same one I talked about in previous posts. The…
365-139 $$$$
Seriously, if there is one thing I always hated spending money on, that would be gas. Even as a teenager I never liked spending even a few dollars on gas. But I need it and I try not to waste it. Still. Pentax K20D, DA17-70. RedLine
365-138 Mingo Creek
I took a spin through the county park after it finally stopped raining this afternoon. I wanted to try my hand at some flowing water shots and since I don’t own a ND filter yet I had to wait until the light level dropped. And, wouldn’t you know it, as I reached the park the SUN started shining! It was nice to…
365-137 Chasing pavement
This parking lot is near a bank I use. It belongs to a once thriving steel mill that was a major employer in town. It has long been closed although a steel company owns it and I think a few people work there to a degree. Probably just used as a warehouse or something. There once were a few thriving…
365-136 No complaints
I think I complain too much on here so today I’ll go easy on the readers. Well, I’ll try at least. My first shot is simply three windows on the upper floor of a downtown building. The color of the building is pretty cool and stands out among the drab beige tones of all of the other nearby buildings. Don’t let the color…
365-135 Things I’ve seen
Well, all of my daily posts are shots of things I’ve seen that day. So I guess today isn’t any different. I live in such a dynamic, colorful area that it’s easy to take wonderful photos. Okay, that was a joke. It’s actually difficult to take photos around here that are somewhat interesting to view. That’s why I try to…
365-134 The street artist
This storefront used to be a radio and electronics store. I remember buying tubes for my guitar amplifier there back in the early eighties. Had I known better at the time I would have bought out his whole inventory of tubes because NOS (New Old Stock) USA made tubes go for a hefty sum today because of availability and the TONE that…
Cemetery Part 2
Just a few more shots from the cemetery as I promised on May 4th.
365-133 When it rains, it rains
I really can’t think of a wetter spring in recent years. Almost every day, it seems, it’s raining or storming. The days in between are pretty decent though, so I can’t complain much. Besides running some errands, I basically stuck around the house today. I took the photo of the robin on my neighbors fence just to get my 365…
