There was a Bee

I took this picture on Our way home from our last trip.
Somewhere along  the roadside.

Mt. Lassen in July 2012

Here are two pictures I took  at Mt Lassen.

Larry and his Dog

This is a picture from our campsite at Hat Creek.  It is such a relaxing park.  Charlie
loved the water! He was always on a leash becasue he would have had a great time duck hunting.

Charlie in July 2012

I added a filter to this photo in Photoshop.  I will have to write down what
I do.  I really liked what it did to this photo.

Converting to Black and White

This was the first time I was successful at converting a picture.
After I did Charlie I tried the one of a fellow camper at a Rondy.
I origianly took that picture wanting black and white but it always came out colored.  It came out just the way I wanted now.

Week 24 Depth of Field

 For this week I chose depth of field.. I used my 50mm lens.  The sun was lighting up the puff.. It just glows.

Doesn't he look  sand... The folks just will not throw the ball.

Week 21 Tree House

We are waiting to see how many men and how much equipement
they will show up with to take down what one boy and a hammer and nails put up.

Week 19 Turbulent

We made a quick trip to the coast a couple of weeks ago.  We decided to drive up to Loon Lake
and passed this on the way to the Lake.  I thought it was Just beautiful!  Larry said he and his Uncle Joe would
fish downthis when he was a kid.  Now he wonders how on earth they did that.
