Day 229

Friday, August 14, 2015

A couple more from Dad’s 90th Birthday!  He jumped out a perfectly (well…) good airplane, AGAIN!  Here he is after, with Pastor Daniel, who I think was also going to jump… This is Mariah, another of Dad’s Granddaughters (the first!) in the purple outfit.  She jumped, too.  I think one of Doug’s daughters was also […]

Day 227

Friday, August 14, 2015

Like I said, I didn’t get any photos of the Perseid Meteors.  I was taking 20 to 30 second exposures, hoping to capture a meteor, but when I looked later on the computer, I had these neat red clouds blowing through instead.  They are red from the glow of Great Falls through the smoke from […]

Day 226

Friday, August 14, 2015

The Dailylife Daughter #1 and Toots dragged me out to see the Perseid Meteor Shower last night.  It was a bust photographing the meteors, although we did see a few!  This animation shows something else, however: 1) you really need to pre-focus your lens!; and 2) a satellite!  That is the streak moving across the star […]

Day 221

Sunday, August 9, 2015

Dailylife Daughter #2 was home for her Grandfather’s 90th Birthday this week.  I took her and the Dailylife Wife to lunch at 5th Street Diner.  Good, as always! We took advantage of everyone being home to get a family portrait done.  Friend Bekka is very good at environmental portraiture.  I will post more when we get […]

Day 220

Sunday, August 9, 2015

A few more of the Full Moon… More with the railroad tracks… Just one in the mud puddle. And while that one is okay, I have made a few variants using the filters in Elements. Bas relief. Cutout. Paint daubs. Water color. Glass. And one from my front sidewalk of the Moon through the powerlines […]

Day 218

Sunday, August 9, 2015

Just a little project from a couple weeks ago when the Moon was full.  Sometimes it pays to look down at the mud… ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 217: Winding our way home again…

Friday, August 7, 2015

‘Stache on the deck of our cabin at the KOA. Dailylife Daughter #1 and Lugnut at the Whistle Stop Cafe in East Glacier…good food, slow service… The real reason I took that photo above: the neat reflections in Lugnut’s sunglasses! We saw this interesting truck on the way home.  It is a single, rigid trailer, […]
