Sunrise during my early walk today...

   

Happy Day to everyone! A busy week for our city and good week for photos. Corn Palace Days starts today. We have concerts in the Palace and free concerts outdoors on the Plaza right next to the Plaza. Of course a must have is a carnival on Main street. We also have a farm and ranch show called Dakota Fest on the other side of town. Hope for decent weather for it all. Going downtown tonight for some night shots of the festivities.

Here are a couple of shots of our local High School Fundraiser with a boat parade. Also a short video of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aQab80g4kM

The place has been quiet again. Thought I'd wake you up with a stairway to heaven.

Good morning all. Slow day in here yesterday, hopefully a bit more activity this weekend. I guess everyone is busy. 

Here is an image that I "salvaged" from my trip to Florida. As mentioned before, I only had my P&S with me and the focus for this fern was a little bit off. So I did some manipulation on it and IMO improved it just a bit.

On my way this morning to drive my son's car to the body shop. Sunday he hit a truck tire retread that was in the road... dark road, dark tire. He has a high deductible on his insurance (which I will pay), so another bite out of the savings. Just hope they can get it repaired quickly as I am having to ferry him back and forth to work until they do. Like they say "Things Happen".

Hope all are having a good day.

Hi Folks

I posted another batch of my club images in the Members Galleries area.

Regards - Pete

Jumping ahead of you all again.
 Mucking about with new camera. This is SOC. Apart from resizing and giving the colour more depth.

   

It is actually a slighty different POV than this one of the same wattle.

Welcome to a new week.

In browsing through my photo archives I came across a shot taken 2014-01-22 of our last dog, Pippin. I  never did anything with the photo until processing it yesterday...

   

When I wrote "our last dog" I didn't mean we'd never get another. My wife has been speaking with a private family with a Westie expecting to deliver her litter any time. (Or maybe already did it - I'll have to ask my wife.)

Good morning all. I got on the road early to go visit the "World's First Drive Thru Museum", about a 25 minute ride. Interesting place with all kinds of strange art and artifacts. Nice morning for a ride as well, before it gets too hot.

Still keeping a eye on the weather for my trip next week. If it holds, I'll book a room tomorrow for Tuesday and Wednesday night in Panacea, Florida. Plan on having some good seafood while I am down there too!

TGIF everyone.

Here's a richly colored Day Lily I photographed 2 mornings ago.

I didn't amp up the colors; they are as close to what the camera saw as I could produce.

   

I wish us all a good weekend.
