I know your all tired of hearing about our dancing, but honestly it’s all I’ve got to post right now! So any how we had a private lesson on Monday. It was a bit later, but it was nice because we were the only students there at the end. Afterwards we got to [...]

I went out with some people from a local Flickr group today.  Despite the rain I made the best of it.

 
Pink Wet…Flower!!
 

 
Raindrops on a leaf!
 
The feather!

 
This is Frodo, who thinks he’s a prince (really…he’s a pain in the ass most of the time). He was lounging around with us on Sunday morning.
 
And now I will stop with the cat photos for awhile (even though I seem to be getting some really good one’s lately!)

Yesterday I got out and went and took a set of photos.  It’s the first time since my dad left that I went out specifically for taking photos.  It wasn’t a great expedition, but I did get a picture of a bird that was on my list of birds to get pictures of!

I followed this [...]

 
The paws of our cat Tonks.  I’ve only been taking pictures of cats lately, but tomorrow I’m going to try and get out and take some flower pictures.  So I’ll be browsing some known flower picture takers tomorrow morning before I head out (Lujza - what aperture do you use for your flower photos to [...]

These photos probably won’t mean much to anyone other than myself and the few (1?) family member that reads this blog.
I’m not sure what year it all started in, but my cousins and their family from the “eastern” part of the state started going to Lake Placid in the summer. It was usually the [...]

 So as I said in my last post we went dancing on Friday night.  The DJ was better than the previous time, just because he knew what music to play for what dance. And his wife is one of the former dance instructors.  I don’t know if I mentioned it on here, but this lady [...]

We did more wandering.  I’m not going to write a whole lot because honestly there isn’t a whole lot to report.  But I think the photos will give you an idea of what we did!

As I mentioned before, my dad arrived on Friday night.  He’s on a cross country, or at least to the middle of the country, photography trip.  Yesterday morning we made it down to a place called Credit Island (I’ve posted some pictures from there).  He was able to get his bazooka (for the photography inclined…a [...]

I actually ended up with quite a few keepers (that is on a first glance) so be expecting many more of these in the next week or so.  Other than a couple of rain showers it was a good time. Better than being 100 degrees with 100% humidity like it was a few years ago.  [...]
