One Fall shot

And there may be more coming. We happened to drive up Provo Canyon on the perfect day.

A new car again?

I very seldom buy a car and when I do i use the old adage of

Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do , or Do without.

That comes from the age of the depression years and doesn't work real well when it comes to cars and having to get to work. So I bought a VW Passat in Jan and will never make that mistake again. Especially after it broke down on the way to Arizona. Well the story after that sparked the offer to buy this car and I am real happy with it so far but still have to have a car to replace the old Camry that we literally have worn out.

Patterns: They are all around us.

So why would I put this one in? Well it may not be big enough to see it here but when I was processing these images I could see the bubbles closely and they make an interesting pattern too. Not to mention all of the other varied patterns in the mineral dome.

So if you don't have a lens to capture the full width of a scene, what do you do?

Have fun and shoot four portrait (vertical) images with your camera from on a tripod and then merge them in photoshop.

It is really a lot of fun.

Summer Vacation 2010

I took over 3,000 images and this is only a few but I am finally getting to process them and here are some of my favorites so far.

I Love My Backyard

I still have this beautiful family of quail and this one was really interested in the little dog near where it sat on the fence.

Then there are the sunsets on the west side of my home.

It was really pretty.

However when I went to pick my tomatoes I was greeted by this little guy, not my real favorite form of wildlife to encounter.

And the sky away from the sunset is also beautiful.

(Almost looks lie cotton candy colored deep blue.)

My local wildlife, backyard Quail

There were a family of 14 quail on my lawn the other day when I got home and as I grabbed my camera they flew into my pine trees and one of them even perched on a fence post for it's picture..
