GPS took me on a wayward route between jobs yesterday. Found a spot. Cross Gardens. There was even room to park the work van. No great images in the woods / by the creek yesterday. The garden was fun today. The overcast skies and everything being wet from rain made for some great lighting and surfaces.

I swear there is an alien laying there watching the column

I wanted to find something catching downtown tonight more in the abandoned building area but once I got over there I thought better of it. So, ran back to the other side of town and took 4 times around the block before I could finally get to the right spot

One more stop around the corner to grab this tribute to the Wright Brother's 12-second flight. The design mimics the actual flight path with a set of wings at each second of the flight

Scott, is that with the F1.8 lens and handheld?

Scott, that image is cropped quite a bit. I liked juxtaposition of curve and straight. I later realized that the vines look like a giant hand claw thing.

Glen, both pictures were using my 35mm lens with the mural taken at f1.8 on the tripod. I held the camera for the sculpture with it set at f2.5; oh and both were shot at ISO 100

Nice. I may start looking for a faster lens. Christmas is approaching after all. I'm half tempted to look for an old school lens to adapt on the cheap.

Bob, nice job on the texture. That's a tough one to get and make interesting.

Spent the last week or so of open water season at the cabin. After a continuous four day blow from the west the lee shores of the lake were covered with frozen spray up about 5 feet. Some of it was pure sculpture.

Very cool ...pun intended. Reminds me a lot of being a kid on the shores of Lake Ontario when a winter storm passed through.

Nature is certainly the greatest artist. We can only try to capture the beauty. Beautiful shot DaveR.

This is completely random and not a great pic. But it made me laugh so hard I cried. Wife was cleaning up the Italian Wedding Soup my mom had made for dinner (yumm). I'm sitting on the couch after having done the other dishes. All of a sudden I hear SPLOOSH, and "Ah SH[T!!!" I looked over to see this. Well, I started laughing harder than I've laughed in a long time. She apparently didn't find the situation nearly as amusing as I did. She stormed out the door to the deck to hose off. She was mad that I was laughing so hard and that she had just mopped the floor. She may not talk to me for a few days. She'll get over it. It was worth the laugh. Guess who cleaned up?
