sunlit little tree, a new squirrel, the woods, and roses.. ramblin 2 ;)

morning pal.. well, i’m running behind already this morning so bare with me.. not going to complain or whine this morning cause believe it or not i feel a little chipper this morning.. already wrote out a couple paragraphs but i wrote them in yellow, and that didn’t sit with my stomach too good.. i just hope the sun shines this morning.. uggg, i forget their having a bicycle race this morning.. i just hope it doesn’t ruin my early morning walkabout.. well, i made it through the college yesterday, only this time as i was rolling down the hill in the parking lot at breakaleg speed, Bam!! they had Just put sealer down on that part of the pavement.. now i can stop pretty much on a dime, or within a foot at those speeds, but baby it was tooo late, i had already gotten into it.. well, instead of backing up and getting out of it, my dumb butt keeps going thinking, ??, oh shit, (sorry for the language but it was an oh shit kinda thing :) i gotta get outta this somehow.. so my panicking brain tells me to roll on through it, and get to dry ground.. when i looked back, all i saw were these wheelchair marks that went for the start of the curb, all the way to the end of the paved part.. my wheels had only this black tarry kind of stuff all around them, all over my hands, and man was i cussing.. (cursing to you politically correct people :) well it all came off by rolling and extra wash cloths i had.. i got down to the park and first thing, most of the time, i’ll stop right where the college ends and smoke a cig.. so i did that, saw people practicing football, jogging, all that stuff, i began rolling around the path, and i stop and go offroad to get a photo(s).. it probably took me 20 minutes to get a quarter of the way around the path.. long story short, when i come out from the backside of the path, and there’s not a soul around.. (which i’m hoping i got some good shots) i done went and chased Everybody off.. i also didn’t see Any of my squirrels.. no i’m lying.. i saw two new one’s i hadn’t seen, or hadn’t come up to me yet.. to make a long story shorter, i had a Really good walkabout, and Think anyways, that i got some good shots in.. when i went back that afternoon i scared everyone out Again.. there were Some people playing wiffle ball and somebody was jogging, and when i went around to the backside i Knew what was running them off.. (in the afternoon anyway) it was that sealer they had just put down.. it would burn your nose breathing it, and your eyes kinda watered too.. i couldn’t take it but about an hour so i got off some shots and moseyed back home.. shot some more when i took my friend mr freeman outside so he could sit in the evening sun.. then i came back in and nodded in and out till time for bed.. now my cheery self is here with you now.. ain’t you just lucky.. :) photo time which i have 277 to go through before 8am..

these photos today, after i looked at them.. i Liked everyone of the photos but there’s not much other i can tell you But that.. i liked how the sun only hit this little tree and nothing else around it.. it’s not a very good photo but i like it.. now the squirrel.. he was funny.. this is the First time i have ever seen a squirrel sit on his rump.. this is one of the new squirrels that’s been coming around.. he’s not fearful at me as the rest of them are.. (besides okie) i do like how the photo came out too..

this first one i Love.. maybe its cause its just me that likes photos of woods.. the lights, darks, shadows, you can see the different humps on the forest floor.. it’s like you could just step into the photo and start walking.. (or rolling :) to me anyway it looks like you can see deep into the woods, and That’s what your looking for, an inviting photo.. the next photo i had shot After i had cut the roses.. i had them on my fanny pak i put around my knees so i can get to my stuff quicker, and they were sticking out the front zipper part.. i have Lots of close ups (macro’s) of the one on the left.. if you look closely you’ll see a lady bug at about the one o’clock area on the tip of the rose.. i just thought the contrast between All the colors was a good one.. at first i had the concrete as a background cause i had to shoot Down on them, so i moved into the grass.. well, that’s about it for this Sunday.. i Still have no dog photos done so i’m jetting quickly down to the park, then back up here and do my work i should have done a week ago.. may you all find peace in what you do, and Remember if i have to drill it into your skull, Shoot Till You Puke, it’s hurting No One.. i’m outta here..WH

berries, trees, she loves me, she loves me not, and a sunflower

morning pal.. hey pal.. well, my friend, i guess i should tell you about my day today.. i’m hoping i can use this time, when i’m Not dozing off, (it’s 5am) to write a few thoughts about the day down and try, try not to complain or whine.. that’s my forte but sometimes forte’s don’t work.. and i’m not saying i’m going to be free of complaint’s or whines.. Lord knows, You know, i Can’t just go cold turkey and not do just a Little of them both.. but you never know.. i’m Trying to put a little discipline in my life, so Maybe, like i said, Maybe i can do a little writing about, ??, instead of whining.. i’ve even been thinking about using my ipod to write down the stuff i’m thinking in my head on a walkabout, so i won’t have to fight my eyelids so hard, or complain and whine so much.. i do have a little complaint about discrimination.. central piedmont community college is trying to Lock my wheelchair out so i can’t cut through to go to the park, yet they let bicyclers, walkers, whoever else isn’t in a wheelchair go through there, but not me.. now what would you call that.. they even had someone sitting there and watching me when i came back yesterday afternoon, then when i Struggled to get through it (because they had chained it tighter After i had already went through to go down there) i saw a car sittin where they’re doing road construction, and as Soon as i got through and looked at em, they took off.. then i was cutting flowers for some ladies in the zoo (which is out front of the zoo facing cpcc) i saw the guy looking at me from the gate and he yell’s, “let me see you get through there!!” then him and whoever was with him started laughing.. that’s fine and dandy.. next, on page 32 in the book of Life, it clearly reads, “some things are better left unsaid..” so that’s my one and Only complaint this morning.. unless i don’t get outta here by 8 then i’ll be upset and ready to complain.. not much else to tell about yesterday.. saw a whole slew of squirrels yesterday.. Hey, i saw Dokie yesterday!! i had about forgot (cause all the other stuff) that she(?) stood right there until i got within about three feet from her, then she climbed up a tree, turned back around, and hung by her back feet flat against the tree upside down frozen like i can’t see her, then i’ll say, “i see you see you ya little turd” (except i didn’t say turd :) oh, i had two people turn around and walk the other way when they saw me.. me, in a wheelchair, shooting photos of the trees and stuff and there afraid of Me?? i must be uglier than i thought.. :) and now i have to go through about 350 photos from the last two days.. and i apologize for not posting yesterday.. it just was taking too long to write because of the dropsies, so i got peed off at myself and went walkabout without finishing.. now for photo’s..

this first one was about my first shot of the day.. i think.. :) what i did was put the bead on the berries to your left, then moved the camera over (with bead still on what you want to come in clear) and push the trigger.. you’ll find you can get some really interesting shots.. the next one is right where i feed okie, and that dead tree is a favorite of mine, so i but the bead on the little trees then moved the camera up till i saw the top of my tree, the shot the thing..

this first one i had to go down into a ditch to get to.. (had to get back out going sideways up the hill) i was thinking, she loves me, she loves me not, ya did (or we used to as kids) when you were little if you loved a pertty girl you picked each petal off and which ever the last one was, she loves me, or she loves me not, would be what’s in the stars.. (flower :) anyhoo, i put the bead on the lowest flower, then did the same thing as the first photos.. i like all the little bugs on it too.. k, this last one was the last thing i put a bead on and shot yesterday evening.. this sunflower is one that came from a seed that had fallen off last years sunflowers.. these are miniature sunflowers which grow to about four feet.. anyway, i thought it was a fitting end to a decent day.. and you can tell i just put the bead on it and shot.. (after i looked for the best angle) well, i’m going to go walkabout and get down to the park the earliest i’ve ever been, knock on my noggin, and we’ll see what the gate looks like and what kind of roll i’ll have today.. may you all find peace in what you do, and remember, Shoot Till You Puke!! i’m outta here..WH

bloggers block, a rose, leaves n sun, a bumblebee, and a, ??.. :)

morning pal.. don’t know if it’s a good morning yet or not, its too early to tell.. nothings really bothering me except my bottom, and i’m used to that, although this morning it’s painin me pretty bad.. well, besides that, my cell phone screwing up on me, it works, then doesn’t work, then beeps while it’s working.. What’s up with That bull, (not a real one :) making me look like a dang fool.. and the thing’s that’s been getting to me are still there, but there’s nothing i can really do about Any of them besides taking it, and moving on.. no matter how much it eats me up inside.. now, lets see, do i have anything to complain or whine about before i get into yesterday’s walkabout?? there is, but it’s not for this morning.. well, yesterday’s walkabout was only a one time a day walkabout so i don’t have a whole lot of photos, and most of them are from the courtyard and flowers.. i was just in a not so good frame of mind, and me with blogger block on top of all That makes it hard to write and be my usual charming self.. at least i have my photography and my walkabout’s cause if it wasn’t for that y’all Would read more bs than Anything else.. this bloggers block thing scares me worse than the nod offs do.. but yesterdays walkabout was more of a sitabout than anything.. i did my usual lap around the the beaten (paved) path calling okie, dokie, and smokie’s name, people going by me, which four out of ten times they look at me like i’m some kind of criminal and just walk by, most the people don’t even say hey and smile, Or the thing that hurts worse is when they turn around, or just run past me, then stop after they get by.. and how in the world did i get off on That?? k, lets try this blog thing again.. i didn’t see Any of My (Gods) squirrels yesterday.. one came up to me but it wasn’t okie.. okie stays beside me now even when i move my hands or rattle the bag.. the one yesterday ran after i moved the bag around.. okie has a chunk bit out of his ear too.. Plus when i talk to him, he Always looks up at me from time to time.. calms me down like you could Never imagine.. and dang, i didn’t think i pushed the trigger on too many photos yesterday but i’m uploading them now, and it’s telling me i have 127 photos.. hmm, i wonder if i sleep rolled last night and shot a bunch in the dark, or shot a bunch day dreaming yesterday i don’t know, but i Have to go look at them.. i’m sure your tired of reading nothingness for today.. and i apologize for having bloggers block and Not being my witty self.. i Don’t know what’s wrong other than i’m tired of not getting anything done because i keep dosing off when i’m trying to do something on the computer.. Now for some photos.. (a Lot of blogging about nothing sucks!!)

this first one is from tuesday.. i thought it looked good as a close up goes.. not much contrast to it, but it’s a nice photo.. that’s just My thinking so that don’t mean a whole lot.. the next one i shot yesterday morning before the sun had dried the droplets off the leafs.. the reason i shot it was how beautiful the sun is when it first touches the back side of a leaf or leafs.. the leaves just glow with beauty.. contrast with the lights and darks ain’t bad either..

this first one i shot, or this is One of the many, is because of the bumblebee.. i followed that little dude around what seemed like forever popping off shots when the bee would take off trying to get him flying, in focus.. i’ve got a lot with the photo just right, but the bee blurry.. finally i get the bee in, Almost clear focus, And the rest of the photo i like too cause i Think the greens and the whites, along with the black and yellow of the bee, makes for a good photo.. i Really hope y’all like it.. and the last one i didn’t shoot.. the camera decided it was going to shoot a Very close up view to the washcloth i put over my camera when the sun is hot.. all the squiggly little dark things, along with my black fanny pack would make anybody go, hmm, what in mama’s girdle is that?? now i have to boogy on outta here and catch the Early morning sun.. well, earlier than I’ve been out to see it.. and guys and gals i am So sorry i have bloggers block.. Please don’t leave me cause of it.. i Always bounce back from my funky mood swings that give me ‘bloggers block’.. and i started this thing at five thirty this morning and i’m STILL not going to get out any god danged earlier than i have before.. well, maybe by 15 minutes.. i should be blessed i can go out at all.. again forgive me for the writers block.. i Hope you all find peace in what you do, and Shoot Till You Puke.. i AM outta here..WH

clouds n roses..

morning pal.. this isn’t gonna be much of a post today.. not only do i Still have bloggers block, that sun comin in on me and saying, “davi (dave i) come out and play in me this morning.. and i can’t do this guys.. i don’t know why but i have Nothing on my mind right now but getting out from the zoo, gettin in that sunshine hitting my fingers as i type, and forgetting the world for a little bit.. believe it or not but my.. well, lets just say that things’ve been gettin to me.. could have been the clouds, could have been the rain that accompanied them, i don’t know.. don’t really care at this point.. the more that suns hits my fingertips, the more i become alive with a sense of, ??, lol, i got to get the heck outta this place.. so, iis almost nine now, and why am i wasting time writing?? here’s some photos from yesterday..

i figure these photos seemed fitting to my mood right now.. these were taken yesterday afternoon when it started to clear up a little bit.. the first one was on the way out of the zoo.. i Know i spent ten minutes there moving back and forth, around the puddle trying to get the right shot.. i bet them people thought i was plum loco.. the next one i shot when i was sitting on the deck at the park with lizzie.. i kept waiting for the right cloud to come by that little break in the trees.. i thought this one was..

this first one is now among one of my favorite photos.. i like just about everything about it.. next one i thought was pretty cool too.. and i wanted to tell you more about this one, the background, it’s contrast with the blues, greens and reds.. But, and this is one big But.. it’s nine fifteen and i want to be At the park by at Least twenty till ten.. so, that means i do have to run.. i’m goin out and letting the sun, and my (Gods) creatures take me away.. i hope you all find peace in what you do, and remember, Shoot Till You Puke!! (or dry heave one.. eewww :) i’m Out of Here..WH

a squirrel, a flower, a bumblebee, and hairs on a mater plant:)

morning pal.. well, guess what?? and no, it’s not complaining or whining either.. (you can applaud, but please do it quietly..:) what is it Now you ask?? i have writers block again.. or should i write, well, i have bloggers block today for some reason.. i think its cause i’m torn between two things.. should i keep going in the direction i’m going with this thing, and that’s telling people what i’ve experienced over all my years shooting photos, Trying to help other people enjoy shooting as much as i do, how fun it can be to, Shoot Till You Puke?? (: Or, should i go the route i Was going with it, and that’s just to tell people about the walkabouts i’ve had the day before, and of course without leaving a little bit of bull manure behind?? i need my reader(s) who have followed me for a bit, or just a day, to tell me which way i should go.. i’m the kind of person who likes to please Everybody and not have any Drama doing it.. That’s why i need yuns help.. now that that’s been wrote, i can move on to yesterday’s walkabout.. which i’ll have to say was sort of a peaceful one.. (after my biopsy, which went well, but took Too long..) i didn’t get but about 7 shots off, but it was still a peaceful one.. didn’t see any of my squirrels, no, i did see, i Think, smokie and about 3 of his friends.. i saw about four squirrels at the back entrance i go through too with their noses dug in the ground lookin for somthin to eat.. i Think they have either run little man off, or they’ve been teaching him some bad manners cause i haven’t seen him since, ??, at least a week or so.. and since they told me at the hospital not to do any strenuous work or exercise, i sat at the picnic table and wrote in my journal.. 4:30p i was back up here at the zoo smilin, and i was out the door again into the courtyard shooting more photos till the grub came.. i ate and was back out in the courtyard shootin photos, And shootin the poo at the same time.. instead of slinging the poo on the walls and stuff, we just go outside where we have this poo shooter, and man does it shoot some poo.. and now that i’m gettin full of it, its time to go to the ddr and edit some photos.. (now you can applaud as loud as you want :)

this first one is a new guy to the zoo’s courtyard.. i caught this little booger diggin in the bird seed that had fallen to the ground.. haven’t named him/her yet.. have to wait and see if it’ll come back.. reason i picked this one is cause of the background and the contrast it brings to the Whole photo to make what you or your lookers to see.. this next one is about the same.. i really like how the flower stands out, like it’s coming towards you.. all i did was put a bead on the flower and move the camera over to where i wanted it..

now this first one i was debating on putting this one up, or i had one with a bumblebee flying in mid-air.. this one i thought gave more of a background than the other one did.. lots of colors and contrast in this one though.. the pinks(??) whites, greens, and the black and yellow of the bumblebee, i Think.. the next one i just Love.. i like how you can see the hairs on the tomato plant, the green and yellow of the flower.. the grey(?) in the background.. and i would write more but that sun is starting to sneak past those clouds and you Know what that means.. i’m going to shoot me some photos.. (: so, without haste i will say, may you all find peace in what you do, and Remember, Always, Shoot Till You Puke.. i’m outta here..WH

berries, a rose, purple, and a bad background.. biopsy this morn)-:

morning pal.. <eyes half shut due to it being 5:30> ugg, i don’t like getting up this early.. or should i say my Body doesn’t like waking up This early.. reason being i have a biopsy of my shin today cause they think there’s something wrong with it.. they think it’s either osteomyelitis or cancerous.. the cancerous part i Know it isn’t just for the pure fact that i have Faith it isn’t.. the osteomyelitis i’m Not so sure about.. That would make me feel like crap, But i’ve had it before and i Always ran a slight temperature when i Had it.. and i’m need to apologize for not coming bach yesterday but when i got home from my walkabout i felt Terrible so i laid down and slept most the afternoon and evening.. i got up for a few than laid back down cause my head was blasting, my hands and wrist were hurting, and i just plum didn’t feel good.. now with that out of the way, the walkabout i did have was nice.. when i’m out shooting photos, my mind is on shooting photos and that’s all.. no thinkin of anything else either but the angle, background, what’s the best contrast, what aperture i want it on, is it too light, too dark,.. and i Think that’s all.. And because it’s like a drug when i shoot, i might shoot 5-10-15 photos of the same thing.. yesterday afternoon, evening when i Was awake i went outside in the rain, which it wasn’t raining hard, but i stayed out there for a good 30min shooting everything i could see that i thought would make a good photo.. i put a sandwich baggie over my camera with a wash clothe over that so it would cover my zoom thingy too and not get It wet.. and i would Love to keep writing, but time is catching up on me and i have a Lot of photos to go through.. which is the rest of saturdays walkabout And yesterdays walkabout.. so off i go to the digital darkroom.. (hope it’s not Too dark, i’ll fall asleep :)

i did these close ups (macro’s) just because i wanted to do something different for a change.. first one took me about 12 shots to get this one.. and now that i look at it when it’s up, it seems a little too bright and if i had the time i’d change it but this one i think is pertty cool.. the next one i shot just after the berry one.. i glanced over, and there were a whole wild rose bush right by where i was sitting so i took advantage of it.. what i did here, and the other one, is focus on the berry or rose, then move the camera around to where i think it looks best, contrast, bg, etc.. and i gotta get, but i liked this one too..

this first one, like i said, i wanted to do something different.. what i did here was let the camera kinda do the work for me.. i just kept putting the bead on the flowers (subject :) and when i thought i had the best shot at what i was wanting, i pushed the trigger, and here’s what i got.. different.. this next one i wanted to show you just because this is what i Think is bad contrast, background, whatever but the photo has kinda good contrast with the brick wall and looks kinda good.. Until you get to the white gutter.. That’s where the people who didn’t shoot it’s eyes are going to go.. but i do like the plant the way the leafs are all dripping and stuff.. you can tell i was in the rain.. and now i have about 15 minutes to get ready so i can get drilled on.. So, may you All find peace in what you do, and remember, Shoot Till You Puke!! i’m outta here..WH and i hope i didn’t mess up anywhere, i didn’t have time to proof read it.. oops if i did.. (-:

happy mom’s day, one photo, and, I’ll Be Bach (terminator sound :)

morning pal.. first off before any complaints or whines or Anything else, i want to give a shout out and say, Happy Mother’s Day to all you mom’s out there.. my mom is one Wonderful lady whom without her i not only wouldn’t be here, but i wouldn’t be who i am, or have the strength to go through hell and just keep on going if it wasn’t for my mom’s own strength.. i wouldn’t possess the little touch of wit, or be able to laugh at myself if it weren’t for my mother.. and i could go on and on, and on, “if it wasn’t for my mom,” but it would fill up this blog, and many more.. k, now i need to tell you about yesterday’s adventures before i have to jet out of here and go walkabout.. sunday is one of my favorite days to go on a walkabout.. its so quiet and peaceful on sundays.. the park is quieter on sundays for some reason.. but now back to yesterday.. finally got out of the zoo yesterday about 9:45.. and guess what?? they had the dog training class yesterday!! when i first got down there i Almost came back.. i was feeling none too good when i got down there, but once i saw the dogs i was a happy camper to say the least.. i’m not sure how many photos i shot of the dogs, but i shot a total of 535 photos in all.. i’ll have to say though, i shot Probably a total of about 150 to 200 photos of my walkabout yesterday after the dog shoot.. and i didn’t get in the bed till midnight last night, so my head is bobbing like a bobber with a fish on the end of it.. (: and now i have to go through the 500+ photos i shot yesterday.. just going to go through the one’s After the dog shoot to make things quicker.. and i’m gettin a migraine.. ugg.. Not Good.. and i see some sun.. could be an early two photo day today too..

everybody, i’m sorry but i have to go on a walkabout.. if it wasn’t for nodding i could have at least gotten two photos in.. not going on walkabout this afternoon so, unlike yesterday, i Hope, and i Pray that i’ll be able to anyway.. so all you mothers, Happy Mother’s Day, and to All, may you find peace in all you do.. i’ll be back.. (in the terminator sound :) WH

a lotta whine, lizzie sunnin it, a butterfly the same, and more 2 come

morning pal.. might as well tell ya before i start i’m gonna whine and complain, so if you just want to skip to the photos i sure can’t stop you.. i feel like a dirty diaper that’s been hauled off to the dump and the trash dozer has run over me, squishing me time and time again.. my poor leg, foot is jumping off the footplate which is making it Very difficult to write.. not only does it hurt Badly but it throws me off balance because it’s only one leg and when it spasms, it jerks me forward in my chair, which makes it almost impossible to concentrate on what the heck i’m doing.. pain i can, not always, but i can stand or ‘forget’ with writing.. my leg pulling me forward All the time, not even two, three seconds apart.. can you tell it’s consuming my brain?? i got to bed Late last night, so i’m going to go see my photos now so you don’t have to read me whine and complain.. (: well, i’ve got them the one’s i want to put up.. i want to say though, we celebrated mothers day last night and took my mother to earthfare(?).. it’s a healthy grocery store where Everything is good for ya.. everybody that came out of there was nice fit and trim.. (and here i was in the care smokin a cig with the window open.. oopps.. :) then we took her to fridays to eat, then to northlakes mall.. i had a margarita with my meal and when my mom saw it she said, “it’s a good thing you can’t walk cause we’re gonna have to roll you out of here..” lol, that was Almost as funny as when we were coming out of the mall.. there’s these Big balls out front of the entrance to keep cars from plowing through there, and when we walked up to them she said, “look, somebody’s lost their balls..” yeah, you can say i get what i got from my mom.. Yes, i had a blast.. and now that i Have to go cause i Want to get to my walkabout before 9:30 and it’s 9 now.. all because cpcc saw me Rolling cross their campus, (that was closed) and locked the gate where i could barely, and hopefully can today too, and i mean Barely fit through.. it’s gonna mess up my chair i do it too much.. i’m sorry, but that’s a crock of shit.. they KNOW the sidewalks are blocked.. letter will be wrote to them tonight.. oh yes.. all i do is roll through their parking lot, not even close to the campus!! errrr.. Now for some photos.. and i’m not going to make it so i’m going to put two up now, and add two more when i get back.. okey dokey smokey??

this first one of course is lizzie sitting on the fence sunnin it.. what i did here was put my bead on lizzie, then i moved the camera over to where i thought it would make a good shot, and i pushed the trigger.. i did crop it a little bit but that’s it.. the next one i shot yesterday before my mom got here.. i followed this butterfly for ten minutes and shot numerous shots, but this one i liked the most.. here i did the same thing.. i put a bead on the butterfly, then Quickly moved the camera over and pushed the trigger.. i cropped (cut down the photo where it looks best in the ‘frame’) this one too a little bit.. i Really like both of these.. and i Will be adding two more shots when i get back.. wish me luck i can get through the gate or i’m Not gonna be able to do Anything, and i think the dogs are this morning too.. i hope so.. i’m outta here, for now..WH

buzzards, a mud puddle cloud, and off Into the clouds.. tgif!!

morning pal.. well, i could have been started on this thing thirty minutes ago but somehow in the middle of the night while my computer was off my internet connection got screwed up and i’ve been trying to fix it to no avail.. and now i just wrote half a page on what was going on and how i can now pick up, #%$#$%$#$#’"’s infrastructure.. and why that is blue like a link is there i have no idea.. i just didn’t want to show who i can pick up and.. and i’d rather not say.. don’t feel worth a steaming pile of dog poo but i don’t have time to feel bad this morning.. i’ll have time to feel bad later.. lets just say writing helps and leave it at that.. k, yesterday morning’s walkabout was very interesting Before i ever got to the park.. remember the pig i wrote about yesterday?? (i Think i wrote about it :) well the dead pig was rotting Quickly, and when i got down to the little path i take to go to the park i see all these buzzards flying around, i look to my left, and there were about 15-20 buzzards, some pecking at the pig, some flying overhead.. i Think the one’s flying overhead were guarding against the hawk family that lives in the woods Real close to where the pig is cause i saw one heck of a fight going on between the hawks and the buzzards Right after i got there.. my dang camera takes so long to focus in on anything moving i couldn’t get the fight, but Finally got Some of the buzzards flying around.. (about 10) they were the wildest thing.. i Know they had at Least a four foot wing span.. and guess what?? okie And dokie came up to me yesterday!! dokie, i don’t know Where he’s/she’s(?) been but it’s baack.. i didn’t shoot any photos of them yesterday just because i didn’t want to scare dokie off, but i Do have a bunch of okie i shot wedensday.. i shot 222 photos yesterday.. remember, its not going to hurt Anybody if you shoot 500 photos and only One comes out of it.. even a thousand, as long as your Learning something shooting a thousand.. if you just have a point and shoot camera with no settings on it, you can Still learn about the contrast of What your shooting, the background and how it goes with the photo, where you want to place your bead on the subject.. the list goes on and on.. if somebody tells you they know everything about photography, even a professional, he/she is full of poo.. and on that, i need to go through all my photos i shot yesterday and see how i did.. dangit.. i just took my pain medication and i’m getting slower.. dang, dang, dang!! oh well, it helps, but is it worth it it just helping a little bit??

i apologize for the photos being not all that good.. this is a prime example of what i mean by, ‘shoot till you puke’.. i shot 222 photos yesterday and only about 5 came out worth a turd.. All the buzzard photos with them all up in the air fighting, on the ground fighting, coming right at me flying, had all come in blurry.. don’t know why.. i’m afraid my camera is going to have to go back.. anyi’minahurry.. the first two i Hope you know what they are.. the second one i Do like because, one, they are flying in sync like fighter pilots, and two, because of the little bit of pine branch that shows.. i think it gives the photo more depth, and also kinda shows how high the buzzards are..

this first one if you look close you’ll see the reflection of the clouds in the mud puddle.. i was hesitant to show this photo but it just goes to show you, you can find a photo most Anywhere you go.. first mud puddle i’ve shot, i Think.. next photo i just thought was neat.. i’ve got close ups where the plane is just about over my head but they didn’t capture what i really wanted to show, but i thought this one was better fit.. such a small plane in such a vast area of, ??, space?? you can tell how big the world really is.. and now guys and gals, i’m going on my walkabout in record time.. i haven’t gone this early since last year.. sorry for the quickness of this blog, but it is friday, my Mom is coming this afternoon and i didn’t want to miss my walkabout.. plus maybe i’ll get some good photos today for tomorrw.. these uns don’t float my boat like it should.. may you all find peace in what you do, I’m Outta Here.. oh, and happy tgif..WH

a pig, upside down trees, a silhouette, a bird landing, and leafs..

morning pal.. ugg.. that’s all i’m gonna say this morning and move on.. maybe if i just jump right into writing about yesterday’s walkabout, i might just quit hurting, not be upset, and ugg, i feel like poo, all at the same time, so here goes.. yesterday’s walkabout was a good one, all things considered.. as i wrote in yesterday’s Late blog i took off when it was getting to be around 9:30 and i didn’t even have a photo up yet.. anyboohoo.. when i was on my way down to the park there were all these people, some in white coats standing around this dead pig they had been letting fester for about three days..(don’t remember if i mentioned the dead pig or not) they Had it in a cage monday, and to make a short story even shorter, the pig had blown up to almost twice it’s size and the white coats were pokin at it.. by the weekend it’ll probably blow up and the stench will be so bad.. well, i’ll leave that to your imagination.. the rest of my walkabout was nice, but i got Really bummed out cause all the squirrels that usually aren’t scared of me were running for the woods and the trees as soon as they saw me.. okie wouldn’t even come Close to me.. he’d run right up a tree and hide where even I couldn’t see him.. it even put a tear in my eye cause i was feelin like crapola and okie Really makes me feel better.. i didn’t go out on my second walkabout.. that rain i told everybody it would be raining by one came to be so i couldn’t get out.. i Will be gone this morning by 9 whether this is done or not.. sorry, but i’m in a Lot of pain this morning.. my head, hands, butt, and feet are Really bad today.. especially my butt.. (sorry, didn’t mean to whine) besides, the sun is out and Everything will still be wet, and talk about vibrant, it’ll be vibrant alright.. which is an added bonus and i hope with all my heart, a pain reliever.. so let me get going on my 126 photos i shot yesterday and see if there’s a few worth puttin on this thing..

this first one is of course a reflection in a puddle of water, but i wanted to show this because you can see the green from the pines, And if you look close you can see what’s under(??) the pavement, little pebbles, and other junk that under the water.. i don’t know, looks like a neat photo, to me anyway.. oh, and i had to shoot it on manual focus, which works when it wants to, and in No way is it a True manual focus.. the next one is of little man Way up in a tree.. i put a bead on him and shot quick cause not a millisecond later he was hiding again Behind the tree.. i like the composition of it too.. critiques are welcome.. i want to get this set up where you can see the critique’s and replies Under the photos.. one day i guess..

the first photo has a lot of noise in it, which if you look in the background in the dark area’s look a little, ??, grainy?? or have tiny, tiny white spots.. that’s mainly why i put this one up for those who don’t know what noise is.. Plus the bird in mid-air doesn’t hurt it either.. i saw the little dude flying around with my other eye and pushed the trigger Right when i thought he/she’d be there.. the leaves i liked just because they look so, ??, alive, vibrant, and Green.. also it shows the leaves like there on top of each other instead of looking just flat, and that’s because of the shadows the top leaves give the underneath, which is what makes the leaves underneath look farther back, but not flat.. and now my friend i have finished this thing with not a bit of dozing off, and just like always, the write eased my pain up enough where i could stand it.. which i have to do anyway, no choice.. and i Was going to write more but my stomach is cramping telling me its time to go on a walkabout before the sun dries up all the drops the rain left behind on things.. may you all find peace in what you do, and, Shoot Till You Puke!! i shot 126 photos and these four were the only one’s worth showing.. proof positive.. i’m outta here..WH
