Greetings~

An oldie but a goodie for you today; Jellico, Tennessee from March of 2007 as I was headed down to Ashville, NC for The Sandcarvers first visit there. The band will be return this weekend for a show at Jack of the Wood.

Kind of a fond memory thing for me, I guess, as I bid my lovely bride adieu until Sunday … play well, love!

The Tender Nature

Greetings~

I was out and about along Lake Michigan a while back. It was just a tad late in the morning to capture the waves and water with that silky, mercury effect so I thought, “Why not some Macro?”

The stone seen here would fit quite comfortably in the palm of your hand, with room to spare. I dialed in a fast shutter speed to freeze the motion, got down on my belly and started snapping. This represents the keeper of approximately thirty shots.

CAMERA INFO
Hand held Canon 20D; Canon EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro lens; Shutter Priority Mode; 1/800s @ f/2.8; ISO 100.

Our pleasant moments fly
Against the green flame of a Hawthorn tree
She might have known it in the earlier spring
We each threw a stone
Into the ripples of time

I thought I’d take a break fro the Zoo/Conservatory photos for today and post a “Compare & Contrast” sunset landscape. This might be one of the few times where I could be leaning towards the color version of this shot … but only by a smidgen.
