I'm hanging up my hard hat for a couple of weeks. I'm leaving on a much needed vacation. I will continue my photo a day but will have to show them off in a mosaic.
See you later friends!!

203.365 Cooling Breeze.
Thursday July 22 2010.
I had plans of getting some fantastic lightning shots tonight but it just didn't work out. Sure the lighting was amazing last night but I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Sorry folks.
So, It was very hot in the house when I got home from work and I turned on the ceiling fan. Ah, such a cool breeze. There you have it, a shot of the fan. Not the best but I didn't miss the day. :)

202.365 Rusted From The Rain.
Wednesday July 21 2010.
Went on a much shorter walk today. But I did find this great peeling paint with some bare metal and rust. I like now the paint is pulling back revealing the bare metal that has yet to rust.

The title is from a Billy Talent song I was listening to at the time. Let's see if any of my Flickr friends pick up on that. I can think of one that may.

201.365 Thistle Bloom And Family.
Tuesday July 20 2010.
I went on a photowalk today at lunch time. Just me, I needed to get out. I found many great things to photograph and discovered that I'm still a huge attraction for the mosquitos! LOL.
This is a thistle bloom and it's family. It just jumped out at me as I walked by.

200.365 Rainier Cherries.
Monday July 19 2010.
One of the best things about summer in North America is the seasonal fruit. Peaches, nectarines, plums etc. Sure you can get them in the winter months from overseas but they are never the same.
My favorite has to be Rainier Cherries. They are so sweet that they rival candy with their sweetness. Yum.

199.365 Snowman In July.
Sunday July 18 2010.
I pulled this guy out from the deep freeze for a mid summer shot. I made him back on May 30 during a freak snow storm. I put him in a bag and into the freezer for a day in July when it was nice and hot and sunny. Like today.

198.365 Bike Carrier
Saturday July 17 2010.
It's become very important that we take mine and the boy's bike on vacation to the lake with us. He insisted.
So, I bought a bike carrier for the truck that would fit in the hitch receiver. His bike is small and I had to modify the carrier a bit to get his bike on it but it's there. This should be a great vacation this year. Only one more week to go!
PS. I know how dirty my truck is in this photo too.

HDR Makeover Just For Fun.
I've been playing around quite a bit with Photomatix lately and must say I'm getting hooked on HDRs. It's so easy to do with Photomatix.
I took this photo back in the spring when the snow was almost gone. I was really struck by the reflection of the crane in the water.

But today I was wondering what it would look like as a surreal HDR.
What do you think? I liked it so much, I printed it for my office wall! I'm quickly becoming hooked on HDRs that much is true. I'm looking forward to deliberately looking for situations that would be ideal for an HDR be it surreal or a little more realistic looking. It's going to make my holidays much more interesting this year from a photography point of view.
197.365 Welding Rods And Rust
Friday July 16 2010.
I got stuck in one of the quonsets at work during a brief but very hard rain shower. One of many already this morning.
Having my camera in hand as usual, I decided to make the best of it and take some photos of the various items there.
Here we have a can of welding rods left open. They are starting to rust and will soon be garbage. Made for a neat shot though.

196.365 Fox Tail.
Thursday July 15 2010.
The closer my vacation gets, the more I need to go for walks to keep myself motivated at work. LOL. On one such walk today I came across a whole pile of fox tails. These plants are great. You can barely see the purple on the tips of one but put a bunch in one spot and it really jumps out. Or put it up against a black background and POP, there it is.
