Finding it Tough Getting around somedays???

Try being a squishy little snail, working his way over the gravel of my drive way.

ouch!

and fyi, ya, i'm practically laying on the ground to get this shot..... ew... damp....

Coffee anyone???

Well, chickory.....

one of the beautiful wild flowers that dot our landscape in summer.

Almonte, Old Post Office

on lunch one day, snapped a few of this great building just up the street from work.

I see it every day. And often, I see folks pointing thier camera's at it too. Wondered if maybe it was time to take a few myself. lol

Sometimes we're blind to the beauty around us because it's there every day.

Awwwwwwstin Healey......

Poor old thing. Austin Healey 3000 MK II according to the front plate.
My dad's....under shelter in the barn.
Needs some lovin...big time!

Fall already???

No, just a few fallen leaves from the trees in mid summer. Happens all the time. Was testing out my tiny new tripod...how close can I get??

Love the veins and shapes you can see in this one.

Fireworks, CP style. From the bridge

A couple of my fav shots from the night.

Lonesome Dove

A young mourning dove, settled down on one of our patio chairs.

this close up, isn't due to a cool and funky fantastic lens (those who know me, know I've only got the one on the wee camera I use)

I was sitting (after carefully snapping and stepping one step at a time, while gazing in the other direction, so as not to appear as a snake staring at the bird - I took about 30 shots on the way in close) in the chair next to it, and when I stretched out my arm, I almost had to put the camera on macro, I was so close. maybe 2 ft away? It was a bit nervous as I moved in, but I took my time, and it stayed put. Sometimes patiences really does pay off! lol

Canada Day in Carleton Place, Dusk

Setting up on the bridge again for fireworks, the falling light caught my attention.

This is the town hall in Carleton Place, taken from the north end of the bridge.

I'll be back to get a better shot. I want the full trio of baskets of flowers and less traffic, but I'll have to stand in the street to get it. lol.

That is, without the pole blocking the town hall.

Took a few later in the evening too, not as nice. You lose the top of the tower in the darkness.

Hope you like.
