Long Beach Sunset

Here is a picture from my first digital camera a 2 mega pixel Kodak. Funny that old Kodak cost more then my latest Nikon did! Now I couldn't give the old thing away. LOL Nothing cheep about wanting the latest...

Where the buffalo roam

I took this shot in Oklahoma a couple of weeks ago while I was down there goofing off.

Sea Lions

Found these fellows sunbathing this afternoon near the canery in Port Hardy.

Busy Bees

Have you ever tried to photograph a bee in flight? Getting it in focus and with a good background is harder than you might think. I just couldn't get them to look at me and smile!

Stephens Creek Dam

Here's something a little different. Long exposure picture reworked with Photo shop.

A fixer-upper!

I came across this old homestead while traveling in central Kansas. Time has taken it's toll but the stone walls are still hanging in there.

Dear dear...

Found these two standing near the road. Neither one moved when I stoped the truck to look so I shot them both! (With my camera of course).

Speaking of rain......

I took this photo last summer. It was nice and sunny and raining buckets of of water at the same time.

Drowned but not out!

"April showers bring May flowers". OK the flowers are here... Now quit raining!

Playing with Fire

I was buring off some old branches from the yard and thought I would take a few photos of the flames. Don't ask me why, I just thought it might make a colorful photo.

Big tangled mess!

The bigger the boat the bigger the problems! The fellows off this large "dragger" had about 10 miles of tangled lines layed out on the wharf when I took this picture. It took them until the following morning to get it all straightened out!

Welcome??

I would love to have one of these in my front yard! I took this photo in Fort Scott, KS. The canon is located near the downtown area.

"Cob Webs"

So how many times have you heard the term "Cob Webs"? I know I've heard it before... Now ask yourself, have you ever seen a "Cob"? Just what is a "Cob" anyway and why do they make webs like spiders? One of life's little mysterys... LOL

The Dust Bowl?

I was driving back from Oklahoma about two weeks ago during a very strong wind. The winds were gusting up to 60 miles an hour and the farmers had just recently plowed their fields so the wind was kicking up a red dirt dust storm. The visibility was only about one quarter of a mile in some spots.

This "n" that

Here are several pictures (nothing particularly spectacular) that I have taken over the last two days. Still getting to know the abilities and limitations of this new camera. What I'm finding is that I will need to do little if any post processing with many of the pictures that come out of this camera. No changes have been made to any of these pictures other than resizing them.

Skunk cabbage in back yard

Seagate Hotel (Condemed)

Seagate Dock

Old Logging Locomotive

I'm thinking of a movie..........

I scared up this flock of birds the other day while walking. I'm just glad they flew away from me and not over me!

Mid face plant! (More from Suquash)

It sucks being a puppy in those ackward teenage years! All the other dogs can run and play and all this poor young fellow does is trip over his feet all the time!

Zoom lenses are great!

I've always considered my self to be pretty stealthy but without a good zoom lens (and a tree to hide behind) I would never have gotten this shot.

A different kind of flying high

I came across this hawk about a week ago circling a recently plowed field. He seemed to be looking for his next meal.

D90 Saturation

The ability of the D90 to saturate colours in camera are impressive. The mushroom is saturated using the vivid setting and +2 on the saturation. (it will go to +3!)

The following 4 pictures are using the landscape setting and +1 on the saturation. All pictures are untouched and as shot (with the exception that they are made smaller for this blog). I threw the tree picture in just to show what one of our smaller trees look like around here... LOL
