Apologies

It's been exactly 10 days since I last posted! Tsk, tsk, tsk. Unfortunately, my place of work has blocked the Blogger domain so posting from work is no longer an option.

Going forward, I will try and post several photos over each weekend and hope to get some traveling done as well to offer up some pictures from different locales.

Thanks for understanding!

Total Relaxation

This could explain why I've missed so many posts - just chillin'!

Extra Pics

I've missed a few postings as life keeps rolling on and everyone busy. I've included a few extra pictures to make up for the lapses. Cheers!




The little camera definitely has trouble with bright sunlight and the contrast between sky and objects and sky and clouds.


This fountain picture gives us a clue about the slower shutter speed in use... I'm not sure if this can be changed through the settings or not. I'll have to come back to this for some experimentation.

"Chippy"

This little guy lives under our patio and often dines on spilled birdseed. This particular shot was taken at a lower resolution which allowed me to use the built-in digital zoom. Not too bad, but I think I prefer the full resolution/crop approach.

Wild Grapes

No chance of wine from these, but neat to find!

Sacred Ground

Thanks to those who protect us and our country.

Summer Clouds

Storms will most likely hit tonight, even though these puffy clouds suggest a lazy summer day.

Church

A different church here in town.

Shadowy Trellis

Shadows can make a dull scene a lot more interesting!

Flowers and retaining wall

If anyone knows the name of these flowers, please leave a comment. They were not labeled at the Rose Gardens.

Bi-color Rose

A nice color combo.
