Around the house

Once in a rare while,
I get a reasonable picture of the moon.
  
The humming birds
  
are a lot
  
more cooperative.
  
 This mantis was a very patient model,
but I never could get the focus like I wanted.

1st Street

   I took these panorama shots a few days ago
in the small town near where I stay.
    










  Maybe I should stand in the middle of the block when I do 2nd street.  
I stood at the corner doing this series.

A car driving down the road in front of where I stay.  
I tracked the car with the camera as it passed.

This is for Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot #129: Night Photography.  I have a lot of fun with her challenges.  You should give it a try.

Coosa River

  
A few weekends ago
  
 I went for a walk along the banks of the Coosa River.
 
 I saw some pretty flowers, interesting people, and this nice bird.

Eclectic collection
of
what I've seen lately
 

         
It came with the house
   
 
  I spend too much time and money here
  
Thirsty anyone?

Dam fishing

   
Thursday night Christy, Jeremy, some feathered friends and I went fishing
    

 

Lights reflecting on the water
 


  We all caught some fish and had a fine time.

Pallets and boxes

There is a produce stand across the highway from where I work.
      
And I've been thinking about taking these pictures for several days.
   
    I liked the way the morning light played on the pallets and boxes.
    
I got around to it this morning.
  
 I decided to try one shot in color too.
