Relic

This old beast guards a driveway at another one of my residential locations and it's not far at all from the cool garden fence I shot last month. And, like that fence, this old timer has been in the back of my mind for a daily photo as well, and I've been waiting for the opportunity to get a shot of it. Today was the day.

Chillin'

A little bit of imposed relaxation on the ferry this afternoon, on the way to a friend's birthday party. Beautiful day for lying in the sun and reflecting.

Pre-Game Show

Super Bowl party out at John and Janice's, and before the game, all the guys go outside blow stuff up. This is Clay, after all the clay pigeons were gone, shooting the next best thing - an old can of paint. His shot was good aim, spot on, from years of practice. My shot on the other hand (this photo) was some of that, but also a lot of luck that the iPhone captured the can exploding in mid air. Here's what was left of that can after he got done with it.

Pinot Evil

One of those days... It got late, we ran to the grocery store on the way home. I shot "daily" photos of the dairy section, of the canned goods aisle, of the traffic out on the street (if you can call it traffic in this sleepy little town). Got home and looked them all over... and none of them measured up. So we poured a glass of wine and congratulated Shannon on her fishing derby win earlier today, and I got looking at that glass of wine -
25 shots and 1/2 an hour later, here's my photo for today....

Duck Pond

Well I was hoping to get a picture of the ducks so I could ask someone what kind they were, but you can't hardly see them. I think the picture looks pretty good though - what a beautiful day it was today! And the ducks - they're those white specs in the middle of the image.

Same Backyard; Different Day

I sometimes wish we lived where we had a better view - Mountains, valleys, seascapes... pretty much anything besides the "zoned-light-industrial-junkyard-and-septic-service" area behind our house. So when I want a decent looking photo out back, I need to point the camera up so as not to see the diesel trucks and chain link fencing.

Nalgene®

My almost empty water bottle, standing on the corner of my desk, backlit by the late afternoon sun. I held the iPhone pointing right at the sun through the bottle and the exposure setting pretty much made everything else black. You can just see a little desktop there to the lower right.
