Day 191

Sunday, July 13, 2014

I got to take Miss Toots to swimming last week.  Here she is at kickboard practice, one of my favorites! (1/45s f/5.6 ISO4000 112mm Canon 7D) Who knew it was so dim in there?  I had to use 4000 ISO to stop motion…and not well at that! (1/45s f/5.6 ISO4000 135mm 7D) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! […]

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 187

Monday, July 7, 2014

Down by the River I saw a Kingfisher. (1/250s f/5.6 ISO160 300mm +1/2 stop Canon 7D I saw another one, or maybe this one, in about the same place, just a few feet from where the Great Blue Heron was, a day or tow later.  He was hovering in air like he was lining up […]

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 […]
