Day 202 Family

This is my niece, Melanie, her husband Mike and their adorable Zoe. These are some of the most wonderful, warm people you will ever meet.

This is Zoe just and hour prior to the above image. She was tired and it's hard being young. I couldn't help but show this image with the single tear. She is just adorable -- even if she was having a tough moment.

Day 201 Rainbow

This beautiful rainbow appeared today when a dear friend called today. I took this image as Collette talked with Elizabeth today. Do you believe in rainbows? This particular rainbow is symbolic to me of the rekindling of a friendship with a beautiful friend. Thanks e. This is the way I see you --  a beautiful soul that the whole world can see if they just lift their eyes. You have much to offer and I am honored to be your friend.

 This is a three image pano of the sunrise this morning. The exposure of the image on the right was a bit off, but otherwise not too bad.

Day 200

At the grocery store tonight. These guys just begged me to capture their image.

New style of soda machine. That's a touch screen to select your beverage of choice.

Day 199 Guys Night Out

At dinner tonight we ran into this group of guys just hangin' out.

Day 198

Took this image with my D200. No way my point and shoot would capture this image. I used my 18-200mm Nikkor lens and the settings were 70mm ISO 100 F22 1/8 sec. And yes, this was hand held propped against a handrail.

I was really hoping to catch the blurred water motion and still have some sharpness of the surrounding rocks. I just had a couple minutes to set this up and take the image. What I'd like to do is set up my tripod and take several images and create a panaoramic. But I'm not sure how blurred water would tie together from several different images. Maybe take a wide angle and crop it to a panoramic size. We'll see...

Day 197

This is the sky light at the Galleria in Dallas, Texas. Just below is the ice skating rink.

Day 196 Reflections

Chrome railing at dinner tonight. If you look close you can see me in the image...
