Day 194

Sunday, July 13, 2014

A selection of the Super Moon rising last night. Fife in the setting sun. The sky has some haze thanks to Canadian forrst fires.  Hence some of the orange on the Moon. (1/60s f/8.0 ISO200 79mm -1/2 stop Canon 7D) A Super Moon is when the Moon is closest to the Earth when it is […]

Day 190: Flowers along the River, Part 3

Tuesday, July 8, 2014

A short walk along Rivers Edge Trail near Rainbow Dam and Falls provided a wide variety of flowers and other stuff.  I know a lot of them are probably weeds, but the flowers are interesting! (All photos taken on the Nikon Coolpix P7100) This is an “other stuff”…a shy bird in a tree. * * […]

Day 185: Happy Independence Day!

Saturday, July 5, 2014

It was  low keyed 4th of July around our house.  Lugnut and Lugwrench are in New Mexico at Lugwrench’s brother’s retirement from the US Navy! The Dailylife Daughter #2 and Toots got painted up and went to the parade, which they said was a lot shorter than normal.  The only aircraft was the Mercy Flight […]

Day 183: Hump Day!

Saturday, July 5, 2014

The 2014 is half over today! While I was on my way down to the River I saw several Pelicans circling.  Unfortunately it was on the other side of the River, just about over Black Eagle Dam.  For such a large, ungainly looking bird, Pelicans are supremely graceful in flight. So without further delay, Pelicans […]
