SmugMug > popular > Other > rainy day hedge blossoms 07/04/08 happy independence day to all my fellow americans, and happy friday/saturday to all the rest of you. it was my very fav weather today; gray, overcast, drizzling rain and about 55F. perfect for wiping pollen and other irritants out of the air and remaing cool. had to use a flash for this as light was so low. this hedge is right behind the bus stop nearest my apartment and while it is very beautiful and lush it is also one of my allergic irritants tho it was no problem today. i thought these were beautiful with the water on them and shot with very low flash to try to keep as much of the luster of the 'wet look' as possible. for scale the leaf at the bottom is about 1.5 inches long. for you who enjoy the bus paint jobs i also captured another one of them i've been wanting to - http://dedmanshootn.smugmug.com/gallery/4855371_JgWrE#325115221_QNaCY
SmugMug > popular > Other > pink wild rose aka a pretty weed 06/13/08 just realized its friday the 13th here in the us of a. my fav day usually. a bit heavy-hearted tho as DOD (my dp 05/16/08) is in the hospital and the docs don't really know what's wrong except that he's not doing very well. i won't be posting this week-end as i'll be down there being with him tho i'll almost surely have something to backpost when i get back home as using my camera is like breathing to me, not absolutely necessary but a good idea if i want to live. i had some things i much wanted to say about the posting and comments yesterday but i'm so tired i'll just have to wing it and hope it comes out right as i'm posting this then off to bed early. i didn't enter the contest because i expected to win, nor do i now, tho i'd certainly like to be awarded something. i entered for the education. education has costs, the cheapest of which is money as far as i'm concerned - tho many would disagree with me to judge by their actions. my purpose in bringing what i consider injustice to public attention wasn't that i expected people to be 'fair' or that life itself is fair since i've known from gradeschool that life ain't fair and SO WHAT. i did want to hear what y'all had to say about voting other people down to build yourself up. clearly that can't ever work i've always thought and i was heartened, and not at all surprised, that that is what y'all think also. when someone started pushing down many peoples fine work here on smug, including some of my own, i was miffed. after some reflection however i left my pics with the thumbs activated because my goal isn't so much that my work be on any 'top' list, tho that's certainly pleasant, but that people enjoy it and that i get feedback from peers so i can improve my craft. i've learned a great deal by opening my smug page and especially since i joined the daily community, i thank you all. bottom line is that for me anger is like murder and i don't consider this 'thumbs down' crap anything to kill over so i ain't gonna be angry either. its really more like the foolishness is like fleas, annoying til you realize what it is and take appropriate measures...then forgotten. i agree with all of you who expressed that 'ok...so what' attitude and agree that the worst thing that can be done to the mean-spirited is to leave them the joy of their own company and move on with one's own joy. of course my commentary was a blatant appeal for votes also so in that vein...please click on that pretty poppy in this gallery and vote the links ;-) thanks one and all for the joy, education and votes! (even whomever votes everything down...may you find something real to put that energy to). i can't imagine a better place to be posting thoughts and pics nor a better group of people to share both with. blessings on you all in massive measure

SmugMug > popular > Other > June 8, 2008: Ready to escape! My work week is finished and the next two days are mine. I plan to seek out photo opportunities and brew up a batch of beer. The two activities may merge, if the lighting is right! ; > )
SmugMug > popular > Other > purple iris 07/14/08 everything's been blooming late this year; actually just bloomed a lot longer than the usual season i guess as we've had "spring" flowers since april. this is the lone iris i know of around town and i loved the dark color so i ahd to try a shot. have been really enjoying catching up on the great pics and interesting commentary this week-end. i'm done in now tho so off to bed, this darn cold is slowly easing its grip and going away. i'm being extra careful to sleep more than usual to keep that trend going
SmugMug > popular > Other > bbd 06/26/08 hershy wanted a 'happy' pic after yesterdays 'depression' (which was foil tho not b&w just shot with contrast and brightness set very low and less than ambient flash, i wanted it even duller in tone and the darks darker and had tried to create a hint of prison bars with the not quite there vertical lines but ...) so i took advantage of a quick break at work today to snap this. those of you familiar with my dailies will recognize the little boss who was happy to see her friends as she's been having a very tough week. she actually had to go to the e-room sunday for treatment for a severe allergy attack and had to miss swimming lessons all this week as a result. the bbd is not for bigger better deal but for brianna, bogie and dan. dan is a good friend and customer of ours who usually brings bogie for a visit when he comes for lunch. bogie is a delightful and well behaved patterdale terrier and brianna just adores him. bogie is a pro at mooching treats from my boss too

SmugMug > popular > Other > May 15, 2008 Lollipop Power! Maybe this is why my little walker decided to take off in yesterday's photo. Mommy and Daddy give him healthy food. The photographer brought candy. I've probably ruined him for life with his very first sugar buzz, but we'll do anything for a good shot. Here are the rest of the images from his session. This little guy is so adorable that it would be hard to go wrong. http://spccreative.smugmug.com/gallery/4938106_Jj6PJ#295304066_Eod5d
