This is the first HDR photo that I'm really proud to say I had taken.  Before my second day of jury duty, I decided to take advantage of the parking garage vantage point and get a shot of the new courthouse.  I thought I had taken the shot too late in the morning, but I had inadvertently lowered the exposure brackets on the shot.  That, with the polarizer, really gave it some punch.

It is what it is.

I'm usually not in any of my own pictures, but Jenny took this one, and I really liked how it came out.  This was taken out on the zip line at Leed's Farm.  It is the best place to buy winter squash!

During a trip to the North Market, the lady offered to spray the veggies to make the shot a bit more dynamic.  I guess I shouldn't be so shy about talking to people when I have my camera in hand.

I was really, really tired!  I was up for about 36 hours straight, and the delirium was set in.  I still like this picture, though.  I think at the time, everything was starting to look over-saturated and in 3D.

Reece wore himself out, and fell asleep in a sea of stuffed animals.  This is the kind of situation where having a fast lens makes all the difference.  That would have been one cranky kid if I had to use the flash . . . .

It was a beautiful sunrise - I had to pull over and get a couple of shots out of the window of my car!

Big, billowy clouds.  Usually I take pictures of clouds to use as backdrops on my phone.  This time, I tried taking one with the big camera.

Homemade cheesecake and green ice cream - it's what's for dessert!

We took our kids (and a neighborhood friend) to a large playground in Westerville.  There is an orbital spinner that the kids love to play on - it's like a standing 'sit-N-spin'.

Walking around with my prime lens, I took a moment to photograph the electrical tower.

Tied my dawg by the railroad tracks,
choo choo train's gonna  break his back;
Used to call him Spot, now he's called Splat;
And that's the kind of person we are . . .
Oh, baby, won't you come home with me . . . .

Sometimes, it's a shamefully uninspiring picture day.  I had taken three pictures on a lark, but was unimpressed with all of them.

There was a vine that slowly climbed up a chair on our front porch and slowly began to take over.  I'm not convinced that if someone were to sit in the chair, more vine wouldn't snake up and drag the unfortunate visitor to their doom . . . .

I had a small lot of Xmas lights that were never used, so I thought about keeping them near a reflective surface and seeing what kind of shots would come out.  This one wasn't too bad in color, but I liked the mood it produced when I converted to black and white.

It just so happens that the Red Hot Chili Peppers were doing a one-off concert in our living room.

Italian cuisine!  I made up a batch of my cannelloni with fresh ground chicken.

I think my youngest has already found his first car.  It was a 1999 Camaro SS.  Not quite as nice as the new ones, but I could see the attraction . . .
