SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > 2008.08.09 (Sat) - Had a good day, got up early and spent time with Tom and Virginia.  Tom took an afternoon nap and the four of us ran out to the Fernley Raceway to meet Mike from work.  He was there racing motorcycles with family.  I shot some photos but they really didn't turn out.  Turns out I am not much of an action photographer. I'll post the few good ones when I get home tomorrow.

We were going to run to Reno but decided to return to Robin's dads to see if he was awake.  He was so we hung out, ate dinner and then took off for Sparks later in the evening to shoot some cars.  Parking was a nightmare, we finally got a spot but by the time we got to the cruise the light was no good.  We got a few good shots before dark and then broke out the tripod.

I grabbed this shot just before  we headed home.


Very tire, looking forward to bed.  Until tomorrow,

SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > 2008.09.03 (Wed) - I had a great day, work was good.  The drive home was a bit slow but Robin was home when I arrived.  The family was hungry so we all went out to eat.  After dinner, we dropped Bri off at her place and then ran home.  Brandon had some work to do on the Oakmont Website so he stayed home.

Robin and I took off for a walk around the neighborhood looking for a daily photo.  I spotted this colorful flower, not sure what it is but I thought it looked really neat.  Switched to the Macro lens to grab this shot, then, after we completed our walk, we returned home and tuned in for the RNC convention to watch Governor Palin's speech.  I was quite pleased.  

Until tomorrow,

SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > 2008.07.22 (Tue) - Jury duty is very interesting, I would love to share about it but I am not permitted to.  I snuck home at lunch time so I could see Brandon and make sure he was okay since he was home alone. Returned to the courtroom wearing an extra layer, they keep it very cool in there.  Sitting and listening all day makes for a long day, I will be glad when it is over.

Robin and I took off around 6PM to go see how the beavers have been progressing on the tree.  I grabbed some shots of their work and sat in a pile of goose droppings while I was grabbing this shot.  We returned home so that I could change and then headed out to our regular Tuesday night crew.  We returned to the beavers around 9:15PM and sat quietly and watched them swimming for a while before taking off to get back to Brandon.

Here are the rest of the beaver photos from today.
SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > my neighbor got a d 300.  he let me shoot a few frames to compare it to my d 200.  this is taken right out of the camera---no processing or color adjustments.  'nough said.

i officially have camera envy.
SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > near crested butte.  outrageous color eh?  i've lived in colorado for 8 glorious years and this is the most amazing color i have ever seen.  (and we've traveled here a lot!)
how lucky am i?
SmugMug > popular > Portfolio > 2008.09.16 (Tue) - I woke up early (4AM) and could not go back to sleep so I got up and hopped online to try and get caught up on the dailies.  I am constantly amazed at how talented you all are.  Thanks all for your comments on my photos too.

Posting another shot from Saturday.  This one of my son, he has grown into such a fine young man!  I did a lot of processing on this photo.  The original photo had many smudges on the glasses, also used some healing brush, then tried several different effects until I arrived at this one. 

I've got to get ready for work, I think I'll ride in today.

Have a great day all..
