"Using your lens to see "Though My Lenses"

In Grandma's Hands

Here late at night is Grandma working to get the little fellow's blankie ready. Me... I'm going to bed and will go to the Mall and get one. Too much work and time for me.

Landing In Colorado Springs

Landing_CO09 (1 of 1)

Here we are landing in Colorado Springs for a two week vacation. What a sight, the mountains are just mind blowing. I hope to get up close for some nice photos which I will put here.

& Pikes Peak..

20090818-AGC_6942

As the time gets close for me to leave for Colorado and Pikes Peak, the butterflies are flying around inside of me. I have been cleaning my lens, filters, and getting the old bags ready to go. I am just moved by the opportunity of going on this trip. I am looking forward to the cool, but not too cool weather and some relief from the hot weather we have had here this summer. I hope to be able to get some great shots even though it will mean getting up before the sun..

Photo Walk


Today is the Scott Kelby Worldwide Photo Walk. There are 32,000 of us walking today. That is world wide and so I expect some of us are walking in the dark and on different days. But to me it will be a very hot Saturday morning here in St Petersburg Fl. As you can see the heat didn't stop me. A fellow walker, Velva Heraty, took a pic of my tee shirt.

Pasted Graphic

We all had fun and some of us met afterward and had lunch and shared photos. You can read more about the day's walk HERE.

Photo taken in Savannah

Here I am taking photos instead of eating lunch. Thanks to Chuck Daffin for this pic.
What a great time we are having here in Savannah Ga, in the field as well as in the classroom.
Today we are only having a hour to eat so I had better stop shooting and eat.

New Mac

Today I finished setting up my new computer system. Now I don’t think I will get any honey do’s done anytime soon. Below is a photo of my new setup.

Ray's first game of 2009

I can't believe it is time for the new season. And yet tonight is the first game with the NY Yankees.

New Site Theme

Well, as you can see I am busy working on a new site. I am almost finished, and now I can just go out and take pictures and not worry about where to put them. So come back soon and look at what I have been doing....
