Fall Foliage on Asphalt

The title says it all. Well, most of it. There's some water beaded up on there too which is kinda cool. I saw this in a parking lot today and thought I'd see how it would look for today's photo. (or is it "this week's photo")?

LaConner

Busy day running around the mainland takin' care of business. It poured down rain driving between Mt. Vernon and LaConner (wipers on full speed - don't do that too often). Then after my appointment in LaConner, the rain quit and the sky was looking beautiful with the pre-sunset light highlighting the clouds to the west. To get a better view of that, I headed over to the channel and that's where I found this wire sculpture on a gangplank. You can just make out the famous orange LaConner arch bridge through the left side of it. And if you look really closely along the shoreline you can see a Great Blue Heron.

Sketchbook

Cameras have some pretty cool features these days. I'm looking to upgrade mine, and to try some different models out before I buy, I've found a great place for renting camera gear (see the banner ad at lower right in the sidebar). So I've had a pretty cool new one to play with for the last week. One of the things I've not played around with much until now is in-camera image editing. It can do a lot of different effects. These are 2 of my favorites. (and yeah, you really gotta click on the photos to see the effect).

The Sauce Boss

I did another entry on ThisIsOurTown.com yesterday and had some trouble picking a favorite. This here was the runner up. To see the winner, take a look at ThisIsOurTown.com and see what you think. And if you wonder why this nice smile didn't win, but the other expression did - well, you need to know Ed.

Senior Portrait

It's that time of year again - I got to spend some time at the gym getting some fun shots of Collin. This is one of my favorites.
