SmugMug > popular > Other > pigeon taking flight 06/08/08 you get this today because i had a (even the docs don't know exactly what it is but its at least an order of magnitude worse than a migraine)headache and also had a problem with my feet so i couldn't wear shoes or even my sandals. during the late afternoon sun i limped barefoot down the stairs knowing i could probably at least get one of the ubiquitous pigeons from my stoop. not a fancy subject or shot but at least i got it here. it is a very great pleasure to participate in this daily community and i thank you all

SmugMug > popular > Other > bogie, a legend in his own mind - "the noble dog, faithful and true, man's best friend. here i am keeping watch (and looking darn fine if i do say so myself) and am i appreciated? do i get any treats? is anyone taking my picture? ... oh...yeah...um...ok...so i got it pretty good. a fine fellow like me deserves it!" 06/27/08 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. http://www.greenwoodcarshow.com/
SmugMug > popular > Other > honeybee on blue 06/23/08 don't know what this bush and flower are but i sure like them. apparently the insects do too. i saw at least five different types counting this gal. i've been hearing that the bees are dying/disappearing and i can believe it as this is the first honeybee i've seen this year tho i've seen many types of wasp and bumbles. i thought it cool how bright yellow and bulging the pollen she's carrying is. i don't have macro and was too lazy to carry my tripod, even tho i got a fine new shoulder case for it from my fam, so this is just my 18-55mm zoom hand-held. you who know flowers and plants, who have time and inclination, do you know what this is http://dedmanshootn.smugmug.com/gallery/4434686_au3Uh#277433702_jPr7u
SmugMug > popular > Other > my mother has passed away at the age of 84- she went peacefully and without much suffering through her illness- she had very difficult events in her life but came through them gracefully- she had six children, all of whom earn an honest living and, I believe, make a contribution to society- she was a Christian, and she has gone on to be with our Lord and, however it works, is now with her loved ones, including my beloved son neil- her obituary is at http://www.legacy.com/KNOXNEWS/Obituaries.asp?Page=Lifestory&PersonId=111771479 'I'd walk a million miles for one of your smiles'-
SmugMug > popular > Other > self-portrait in front of the fireplace, fairhaven library 06/06/08 one of the reasons, besides the wonderful staff, that the fairhaven library is one of my favorite places to go in town. i manually preset the focus on the chair then set the camera on my bag on a table and shot with available light - which is why the light is two colors as there's lovely long windows behind me. for those of you who liked the dark colors of yesterdays dp i reshot more of the whole bed which you can see - and there's pics from inside, including a bigger view of the area in this shot, (and ouside) the library too - http://dedmanshootn.smugmug.com/gallery/4855371_JgWrE#308101796_y8W58
SmugMug > popular > Other > posing spotted towhee 06/11/08 this lovely gent just insisted on having his picture taken. i was across the street looking for an angle on the armory building and he flew right up by me and started his 'chip'. he led me across the street and then flew up and posed in a lovely planter of flowers. i had my 18-55mm lens on tho so didn't shoot as it was too far but did find some things of interest right by me to shoot. i heard him start a steady 'chip' and looked up he was only about 8 feet away. i took a couple and, as he seemed to be enjoying it rather than nervous, decided to switch on my 85-200mm. he waited patiently while i did this and posed prettily for a couple more. since he didn't fly away or even appear nervous i reset and bracketed as the lens isn't made for my camera and can only be used manually and the light was tricky. he waited til i gotten two or three bracketed shots then flew off. lucky for me he was such a ham as this was the very last shot and the best by far of the lot. its almost as if he knew i'd gotten it right finally so he could go on his way. a very entertaining seven or eight minutes, as you can no doubt tell by my long-windedness
SmugMug > popular > Other > bnsf engines pulling freight 06/03/08 the main railroad between the ports of seattle, wa, usa and vancouver, bc, canada runs through bellingham. my apartment is about 3-4 blocks from it so i hear them when they go through, a sound i love. some days we get two or three and other days we get over a dozen. the rails run right along the water for quite a long time and its a very pretty trip tho only one passenger train a day runs between the two cities any more and there's talk of phasing it out. my mum used to take me on the train to visit her parents when i was preschool and we lived in seattle (they lived in vancouver). i really like to travel by train and will miss it when it gets phased out, as i've no doubt it will
SmugMug > popular > Other > little boss and beautiful visitor 07/12/08 (2of2) the little boss was very excited to see this, her first ever large wild butterfly, and kept running to the backdoor every couple minutes to check on it. we all made trips back to see it many times while working the lunch shift. we don't get many like this in the city and really enjoyed our special treat
