Day 363: Hot Shot Photog!

Monday, December 28, 2009

I went out a bit before lunch to Giant Springs State Park to see what waterfowl might be around.  Cold but not frigid, nice and sunny.  Most of the birds from near where the road runs next to the river had moved to the other shore, but I did spy a group of ducks just […]

Day 359: Merry Christmas!

Sunday, December 27, 2009

Leslee had to work Christmas so I took her to the Hospital so Caitlin and I could have the car.  Walgreens was open at 5:45am!  Around about 8am I went out to find another sunrise like the one the day before.  It didn’t happen.  Too many clouds.  I did find some good images waiting to […]

Day 358, Chasing the sunrise!

Saturday, December 26, 2009

After I dropped Leslee off at work before six a.m., I never got back to sleep.  I loaded up my camera and went out to find the sunrise. (1/100, f11, 17mm, ISO 200, wallpaper sized!) This is down Fife Road. (1/125, f8, 30mm, ISO 200) And of course I found the one spot on 8 […]

Day 358: Christmas Eve!

Friday, December 25, 2009

The kids came and we had a wonderful dinner: tomato soup, crackers and cheese, pigs-in-a-blanket, little smokies in barbeque sauce and pineapple, cheese fondue, jello, and of course, Lefsa!  The feast was mostly created by Daughter Caitlin.  Then came the opening of presents, and a good time was had by all.  It had started to […]

Day 333

Sunday, November 29, 2009

We got a lot done today, including putting up the Christmas lights.  When I plugged our good old icicle lights in, only one of five strings lit.  Time for new lights.  We went whole hog this time.  Six strings of blue LED bulbs at two for $9.99 at Walgreens! Here is the whole place. (1/4, […]

Day 332: Kalispell Bound!

Saturday, November 28, 2009

I hit the road fairly early (for a Saturday…) to Kalispell to have a nice after-Thanksgiving lunch with Dad.  I was going to stop at my brother’s hunting camp for a while on the way home, but he called last night and told me someone had their spot, so they weren’t sure where they would […]
