Groucho Glasses

From 2010 Blog

- My grandson Robert in his Groucho Glasses. He spent the night with us last night and this morning I had the pleasure of introducing him to one of finer things in life, we watched the Three Stooges in "Gents in a Jam" together. We both laughed out loud the whole time. That physical comedy still appeals to grown kids like me as well as the younger generation. Canon 7D 1/30 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 800.

Lashes

From 2010 Blog

- My grandson Robert has some long eye lashes. We were at Sandbridge Beach after work today and he and I got dunked by wave. With his eye lashes still wet, I took this closeup while he watches the water. Canon 7D, 1/1000 sec @ f/5.6, ISO 400, 100mm.

Hosta

- One of my hostas backlit by the micro LED Litepanel. Since we have a very shady yard, I have many hostas most of which are showing stress from the recent heat wave and drought. Unfortunately some of the hostas are just done for this year. Canon 40D, f/20.0 @ 1/250 sec, ISO 400, 50mm macro.

Bumblebee Moth

From 2010 Blog

- The Bumblebee Moth, more properly known as the Snowberry Clearwing (Hemaris diffinis),has found a good source of nectar from the Million Bells in Susan and Duane's backyard. We enjoyed sitting out in their great backyard this evening watching the moths work the flowers and the hummingbirds visiting the feeders. Canon G11, 1/200 @ f/4.5, ISO 400 in macro mode.

Yet Another Rose

From 2010 Blog

- I can't help myself so here's another rose photo. They are really beautiful and I liked the colors in this one. Hopefully my loyal blog followers are not tiring of the roses and other flowers. Canon 40D, 1/200 sec @ f/4.5, ISO 400, 50mm macro, micro LED Litepanel.

Love Chrome

From 2010 Blog

- The chrome front bumper of a 55 Chevy reflects the 57 Eldorado Seville parked next to it. Fins and chrome and lots of it were the style trademarks of the mid 1950's Detroit automobiles. The massive chrome bumpers were gone forever in the mid 1970's after the U.S. 5-mph bumper standard took effect. Canon 7D, 1/400 sec @ f/11.0, ISO 200, 100mm focal length.
