PotD #357 “Fire in Tokyo”
Tonight the fam and I went to our favorite hibachi place, Tokyo for dinner. It was delicious and filling (and expensive). We had a good time and we all had fun.
PotD #356 “A Rainbow on a Rainy Day”
It was raining all afternoon, all the way home from work and most of tonight. When I got home, I found this little “rainbow” on my front porch. It was a nice burst of color on a dreary grey afternoon.
PotD #355 “Cloud Panorama”
Here is a panorama that I stitched together from 6 shots. The clouds were particularly interesting this day, lots of layers and textures. I look forward to the cooler weather, when I can get more shots of clouds like this.
PotD #353 “Knotty Oak”
This is a shot of a huge oak tree that we have at work. As you can see, It has been through a lot. Most of those knots are from limbs that have been removed by the numerous hurricanes through the years.
PotD #352 “On The Fence”
I was on the fence about posting this (sorry for the crappy pun). This fence belongs to a neighbor down the road. They saw a bare spot on the fence, so they decided to decorate it with some ceramic art. It’s not really my cup of tea, but it is kinda cute and it makes the fence look a little nicer.
PotD #351 “Rusty Rail”
This evening, I shot a few pics on the way home from work. This is the safety railing over the drainage channel that occasionally overflows and floods my yard. years back, our neighborhood was setup as a neighborhood association but people quit paying dues after the developer went out of business so the road is in serious need of repair. This rail isn’t very sturdy and needs to be painted. At least it looks pretty cool.
PotD #350 “Finally, Some Much Needed Rain”
It has been hot lately, REALLY HOT. With highs in he upper 90s and even climbing into the 100s, we have genuinely been in need of a little relief. We got some this afternoon with a MUCH needed rain. It managed to get us down to the vastly more tolerable mid-80s.
PotD #349 “Blue(berry) Monday”
Today we went to my dads house for a catfish dinner (the ones we caught on saturday). While my dad was frying the fish, I went next door to his neighbors blueberry farm, to take some pictures and to antioxidant-up! This is my favorite shot of the night.
PotD #348 “Britnee – Walkway Pose”
I have finally found some time to work on the rest of the pictures from my photo shoot with Britnee Leigh a few weeks ago. I posted all of the good ones for her to check out and told her to pick her favorites, and this was one of them. I darkened the edges and gave them a little tilt-shift effect, mainly to give the picture more vertical look.
PotD #347 “No Kiss For you Mr. Catfish”
Today I took Aubrey fishing for the first time. We went with my dad to a catfish farm up in Walnut Hill. Aubrey got to help reel in 3 catfish and she reeled in one almost completely by herself. She had so much fun but when we were cleaning them, she didn’t want anything to do with them. My dad held the one she caught up and told her to give it a kiss. She wouldn’t get near it!
