Day 22: The Bell Cobra

They were flying all over the place on Friday. I don’t see them as often as I do the other Helos so it was nice to get the chance to photograph them. The lighting wasn’t the best thanks to the cloud coverage but the pilots were flying nice and low which made up for the poor conditions.

I was able to get plenty of shots it I still need to cull them and process the keepers. Eventually I will post the keepers. Thanks for stopping by.

Day 21: Stormy Weather

“After a storm comes a calm”

-Matthew Henry

Yesterday we had some pretty crazy weather and so did many other folks on the east coast. Some areas received snow while we endured some crazy thunderstorms. At one point in the afternoon Nancy informed me that she was seeing quarter sized hail where she works.

When I left my office for the day there were rivers all over the place that shouldn’t have been there. It was also unseasonably cool. Anyway I love crazy weather like that…except for the hail. Here is an image from yesterday afternoon when the weather began to clear up.

On different note, the neighborhood Hawk was back this morning. I still can’t get close enough to take a decent photo. He sees everything but here is my best attempt from this morning.

Today was the third and final day of the quote challenge. I appreciate Tippy Tales challenging me and I propose that SATechs and The Nighthawk Project complete the same challenge.

Have a great weekend!

Day 20: Lucy

“And sure enough even waiting will end… if you can just wait long enough“

-William Faulkner

We are watching Lucy for some friends while they are on vacation. She is great dog and she gets along great with Oshie. He is super happy to have a companion to hang out with all day while we are away at work. I do think she is missing her people a little bit though.

Day 19: Fashion

I was challenged to complete the 3 day quote challenge by the blog Tippy Tales so here is day one. I thought the quote was perfect for today’s photo.

Day 18: Bubbles

As promised I am posting the remainder of the photos taken during Oshie’s bubble photo shoot. As usual they were all taken using my Canon 7d Mkii and my Canon 50mm lens.

Apparently I need more practice with the crazy focusing system that the 7d Mkii has because I was missing a lot of shots thanks to focus issues. It is possible that the lens was causing some of the problems too. Oh well…that is how you learn.
