One more weekend and I'm off the hook, yea!!!!

  • Nov 12th<br /> <br /> Didn't really plan on getting the camera out today then Mr Coop showed up. Not a very hot head position, ya take what you get sometimes.
  • Nov 10th<br /> <br /> Running about a day behind, after the conference this week end should be back to normal.<br /> <br /> I'm usually not a good 'sweet light' shooter especially this angle off the porch.<br /> <br /> Have a great weekend everyone!
  • Nov 9th<br /> <br /> Not as nice as Kurts from the other day. My conifer (actually in this case pine) cone contribution, tis the season:-)

  • Oct 30th<br /> <br /> Betcha can't guess what this is:-)))
  • Oct 29th<br /> <br /> Ehh..a bit weird
  • Oct 28th<br /> <br /> This little birdie was hanging on to that branch for dear life..40-50 mph wind gusts..Yeow. Was a real experience haveing the 400 out in that:-) Large crop.<br /> <br /> Outside flower shot on that wind, no talent just burst mode and luck. Sq fix shots in the usual place:-)<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1599309/4/106032404/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1599309/4/106032404/Large</a>
  • Oct 26th<br /> <br /> Went down to the privacy fenced area this AM and there were tons of birds, all kinds, feasting on the various natural food that are planted. Ran back up to grab the camera, when I got back down the only one left was this female sq.<br /> <br /> Just a bit late on this.
  • Oct 25th<br /> <br /> Something bright an cheerful.<br /> <br /> Couple others below<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1599309/4/105424601/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1599309/4/105424601/Large</a><br /> <br /> Today I needed a sq fix:-)<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1762949/8/105425723/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1762949/8/105425723/Large</a>
  • Oct 24th<br /> <br /> Where I spent my day..sigh<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> I uploaded this last night and it showed mt DP as updated,the shot never showed up.
  • Oct 23rd,<br /> <br /> One from the yard.
  • Oct 22nd<br /> <br /> This is just about Don's favorite person. David is a long time propagator of unusual and dwarf conifers, all around great guy as well. He always has new, or potentially new, unnamed conifers that won't be in circulation for years if ever.<br /> <br /> So on one of the nastiest days of the year Don decides he needs a conifer fix and off we go. That little pile of stuff David is standing over is Don's haul for the day, a light one I might add:-) I also had to get a couple goodies, so in that mess is a Ginkgo called Munchkin, only gets about 2' tall and a J Maple not often found in cultivation. Just to give you and idea Don can spend darn near what a chunk of good Canon glass costs and fit it all in the Jeep w/o even putting the back seats down:-)
  • Oct 21st<br /> <br /> Messin around with a new lens.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Sq fix shots with new lens, first 2 with the 1.4TC<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1762949/7/104215463/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1762949/7/104215463/Large</a>
  • Oct 20th,<br /> <br /> This is just nuts and one of those I had to shots.<br /> These sneeks have been hanging on that wire for 3 years. AEP had poles and wires in the area replaced, shoes would go right? Wrong.

    I'm with Kurt, what a bunch of sour grapers...this is beautiful! Look at the creases and wrinkles in the grapes, the dew, the wonderful designs of the vine and the OOF background and how could anyone give you a 4??? I love this! Good luck tomorrow..
    Then the pressure will be off.

    Wine Wine Wine! It sounds like sour grapes to me :) *OK ... I got that out of my system now*. I really like the dew (or rain) about to drip off the endof the bunch.

    the brown square formed by the vine makes a lovely frame.

    "So take me down to the harbor now, grapes of the summer are low on the bough...."
