I had some extra time this afternoon and made use of it by doing portraits of my kids.  Lainey is my oldest and some of my best portrait work has been with her.  She's never met a camera she didn't like.  :-))  I'm not sure I'm going to necessarily suggest modeling to her because I know what a hard road that can be, but with her looks and acting skills, I can easily imagine her in a movie career.  Who knows.......we'll find out in 15 years or so what the future holds for her.

I had intended to do another SP today, I thought it was about time, otherwise I'd start getting bullied again (you know who you are MB!). But it has been a very hectic day, I'll try to summarise it without boring anyone :)

I had barely finished my breakfast when I got a phone call, total change of plans for today. Apart from a few minutes over a late lunch, when I actually managed to get home, I've been on the move all day. I finally got back at 9pm, with a stack of emails to answer and more phone messages. Most of these mean more changes of plan for tomorrow, and more work, but one was good news, really good news. I have won my first photographic competition, hooray, and this is the image that won. I took it nearly a year ago, as one of a series, and it has remained one of my favourites. I would do certain things differently if I got the chance, but throwing a pebble into a lake to generate your own ripples is a neat trick, if you get your aim and the timing right :)

Unfortunately I have a pile of paperwork to do before the morning, so I can't promise that I'll be able to catch up with the Dailies, but I'll try later. But for now I'm going to have a beer, if I can drink it with this big daft grin on my face :))

this was actually shot at the same time as yesterday's dp but i liked it so well and was so down with allergies i decided to 'cheat'. i'll probably be able to post something but won't be commenting much if at all this weekend. i'm going down to shoot at the greenwood car show saturday, if you're in the greater seattle area its an event well worth making time and effort to take in - see info at the link below, and visiting my sis, b-i-l and DOD and his wife (and hopefully some extended fam and friends). hope everyone has a great weekend and some wonderful things to photograph.

Highway to Heaven...

Well at least it seems that way. This is the new bridge over from Fort Myers to Sanibel Island. Truly one of the best places on earth to me...so far. They use to have draw bridge but it was deteriorating and they just finished this new bridge not to long ago. It is so tall so they don't have to stop traffic to raise it for in coming boats. You literally feel like you are going to drive off the edge. 

Not the best picture because I was driving and trying to take a quick picture but I thought this would be a good finish to all my Florida shots. Thanks for being so patient while I posted them.

Bridge A (the bridge adjacent to the mainland) will be a 70-foot vertical clearance fixed span bridge. The new bridge typical section includes two 12-foot (ft.) travel lanes, two 8 ft. shoulders, open rails, and no sidewalks. The overall width of the bridge is 43 ft. An alignment 10 ft. east of the existing bridge was selected. The fixed span bridge gives 70 feet of navigational clearance and eliminates the need for scheduled openings, it also allows for free flow of automobile and boat traffic.

Here is a link if your interested.
