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 225

Tuesday, August 11, 2015

The Photography Exhibition at the Montana State Fair is next door to the Flower Exhibition.  Since they have a really small room, they share space with us when they are accepting flowers to be exhibited. In addition to the great smells and a bit of extra air conditioning… …they provide us with some nice flowers […]

Day 222

Sunday, August 9, 2015

I got up early and dressed in the dark to be up at Avis at 7am.  I was shuttling a car up to East Glacier.  About half way to East Glacier I noticed… I think Lugnut is rubbing off on me… ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

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, […]
