Day 273/365 - Water Source

Capturing flowing water is interesting to me. I liked the angle of this shot where you can see the water and the clouds.

Day 271/365 - Troth

We went to a local farm and had some fun tonight. One of the activities for kids is using a mining troth to sift through sand to find hidden special rocks. Here is a picture of the water coming down the troth at Stowe Farm

Day 269/365 - Clean Your Butts!

I used to be a cigarette smoker years ago. I quit for my kids. I was walking with my daughter today and I never noticed how many cigarette butts are on the ground. Come on people, would you throw one of these on the floor in your house? I'm probably guilty of this when I a long time ago, but now that I'm smoke free, this seems to bug me even more. Is there a statute of limitations on being a hypocrite?

Day 265/365 - 100 Day's Left

Yes, I have reached the home stretch of this project. 100 more days to go. No flower shots, artsy shots or even a shot of my wonderful children. Today we got a 55" LED LCD TV. It has the works. Of course I want the technology in it! :)

Day 260/365 - Let Me Out Please!

Was I imagining this or does this image depict sadness on the animal's behalf? Maybe he was trying to tell me to let him out. What do you think?

Day 257/365 - Giraffe

One thing I like about giraffe's is that they make a great friend. What I mean is they could always help you get something off the top shelf, and if you're in a bind, they will always stick their neck out for ya! ;)

Day 256/365 - I Get That Look A Lot!

I got really close up to this little guy even though I have a 300mm lens. It focused on his face and made his surrounding fur a little blurry. Gave it a cool effect. Tell me what you think.

Day 255/365 - Oh Deer!

Day 254/365 - Pondering Chimp Or Just Annoyed?

I'm not sure if this chimpanzee was thinking about something or just wanted to ignore me. Maybe me making those ape sounds (ooo ooo ooo aah aah aah) wasn't helping. I should have brought a banana.

Day 252/365 - Melts In Your Mouth, Not In Your Hands

Do they still use that slogan? Anyways, I had a hankering for a chocolate snack and these were the closest. Is it true the green ones taste the best?

Day 248/365 - Experimenting

Besides the fact that I am running out of ideas for photos, I started messing around and experimenting with shutter speed. Keeping the shutter opened for a longer time can create cool effects. This one I pointed at my neighbors lights across the street and moved my camera in a figure eight motion while the shutter was opened. I kept the shutter opened for 3 seconds. Maybe I'll do some more experimenting and try some much cooler shots.

What does this photo look like to you?

Day 245/365 - Wooded Area

I did a lot of post editing on this one. Using digital photography as an art, a lot of post processing is sometimes necessary, and is also fun to do.

Day 244/365 - Pond View

I focused on the plant life in the water and tried to capture the color of the sky as it reflected on the water. The trees in the background were deliberately blurred.
