It’s also my wife’s birthday, so that makes for a nice day together! I had another day off of work, which was sort of unexpected. Good thing too, because my lawn was way overdue for a mowing. Ooh, fun stuff. Happy birthday! We did get to have dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant though and on the way spotted this industrial building…

365-267 A day off
Today was my first actual day off in a couple of weeks. So after waking up about noon, I realized I would be visiting someplace local again for my 365 photo. I travel a lot during work so I didn’t want to venture too far from home today. As the afternoon wore on I didn’t have a photo yet so I…
365-260 Scenes from a blue truck
I’m beat from the week, so I’m going to keep the chatter to a minimum tonight. This is a blue truck that was on a project I am on. Of course, being old and worn (the truck, not me), I was immediately attracted to it. I tried to keep some consistency to the processing of the series for a change.…
365-181 Hip to be square
A rare square crop from me today. I saw this shiny truck near a gas station I was at and thought it would make a good 365 subject. I went with the square crop because it was parked next to a wall and there was nothing but pavement on the other side. In other words, nothing that was significant for the…
365-180 Forget all your cares and go
Downtown. Explored around the downtown area today. Well, OK, downtown doesn’t cover that much of an area. I probably have covered the area pretty well over the last few months but I think there is always a shot somewhere. I was able to park my vehicle and look around the old parking garage that is soon to be demolished or sold…
365-179 I can see clearly
I still feel bad about yesterdays photo. I was in a bad place (mentally) when I shot it and looking back it looks like an awful cellphone photo that folks take on Flickr. I should have attempted something more creative. The thing is, I even saw some potential cool shots while I was at the restaurant but I didn’t take…
365-172 The flower won out
It was getting late and I still didn’t have a photo I was happy with. I had taken some photos in the broken window of a house from the 1700’s that I shot earlier in the year (365-72). The interior itself was nothing exciting so I was kind of disappointed. It wasn’t until I got closer to home and was…
365-168 Reflections
Visited my old standby, the cemetery, today to see if there was any action at the duck pond. There were no ducks to speak of but quite a few big geese waddling around everywhere. Enough geese where I had to watch where I was walking 😉 . I decided to explore around the pond anyhow and look for some other subjects.…
365-165 A new place and some processing fun
I discovered a nice park and lake not too far from my home. It’s kind of hidden behind some affluent suburban neighborhoods. It’s a decent size lake surrounded by wooded areas with nice paths. A lot nicer than my city park. I’ll have to go back and visit soon. The woods are really nice with mature trees and lots of…
365-161 A little rurality
My original plans were to go to the arts festival again in Pittsburgh today. I thought it was a nice day and I always like to shoot in the city. But those plans got thwarted because some business I was trying to take care of ended taking too much time. So, later in the day I remembered a park that’s…
