Any chance I get

 

While we were out camping this weekend with friends.

They had their daughter drop by with their beautiful

18 month old Granddaughter.

Once I cleared it with her parents I started snapping away.

The colors of summer.

 

 

Hello Moon

 

 



 

THANKS to Marisa I was able to get this Moon Shot.

 

Check out yesterdays post where she left a wonderful tutorial

in the comment section.  Its not to late to give it a try
the moon should be pretty full tomorrow night too.

 

Thank you so very much Marisa

 

I needed more power.....

 

 

I bought an extender for my 70 200mm lens

it kicks it out to 400mm. Only problem is

you loose 2 full stops... so it took my 2.8 to a 5.6 lens.

I only had time to play with it for a few minutes tonight,

so the jury is still out.

 Does anyone already have an extender that could give me some tips.

 

 

Yesterdays

 

This was my picture from yesterday that got bumped

due to the picture of my boy and his girl.

 

 

Pretty in Pink

 

I had a picture already taken today

that I thought I would use for my picture of the day.

(Pretty daisy in the kitchen window with natural back lighting)

But when I grabbed this totally candid shot with my cell phone.

 Of my son painting his daughters nails.

That pretty daisy in the window couldn't compare!

After falling on the sidewalk, it took

not one but TWO Hello Kitty bandaids

to make it all better.

(you may have to really Zoom in to see the wound )

Its hard to tell by this picture but the Eagle is

probably 20 feet tall.

Happy Mothers Day

 

My 29th Mothers Day.......It never gets old.

 

 

 

Midewin

 

 

Today my photography class took a field trip to

Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie.

The Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie was established in 1996

 on the former Joliet Arsenal. The cool part is the Arsenal was used to manufacture and assemble  weapons of warfare During World War 2, Korean war and

during the Vietnam war.

 

 The picture above is the doorway to a bunker

where they stored ammunition waiting to be shipped out.

All the old buildings are still standing. Rusted and weathered but

standing none the less.  A photographers paradise.

Lets get this weekend started.

Hello Baby

 

 

 

Homework

 

 

 

 

 

Looking out my back door.

 

 

Amazingly beautiful tonight

 

 

 

 

The best part of waking up.

 

 

My sister was in for the weekend.

My favorite part of her visits are always

the mornings we spend out on the porch with our coffee.

Laughing, talking and figuring things out.
