30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 13

This is Baxter.

Baxter belongs to my neighbours who shall remain unnamed.

Baxter is a cross between a Chihuahua and a Jack Russel terrier and is a wonderful little dog.  His mom/owner has trained him well.

Every day when I arrive home, if Baxter and his owner are outside, he tugs at his lead to be able to come over and say his hellos.

He did not want to stay still for the photo at this point however. Dinner was waiting inside

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 11

This is Smokey as seen through the old screen on the sunroom windows. Back before they were plastic the screens were made of some sort of metal. Therefore the picture is as you see it. He is peeking out at me standing up on his hind legs, paws on he window sill.
He loves that room as much as I do

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 10

There is a reason thay call this plant 'Bee' Balm. Just when you thought my photos were boring I post this one.

Hey, getting this close to a bee was an adventure.' Bee'lieve me, I was ready to jump back casue I had my face only the width of the camera and a couple inches away from this guy. OK  boring for you but not for me. He was actually quite sedate. I managed many photos as he moved in and out from 'bee'tween the petals.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 9

Today Roger went fishing.. some people have to work.... not him.... at least not every day....so he fishes. And he brought home some large mouth bass to filet up for dinner. We prepare it like fish and chips.

Love it.

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Whisk together the flour, milk, water, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until smooth.



30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 8

This is a glass, on the patio table catching the light from the evening sun.  It is out of focus.. intentionally.
Nothing special to be said about it beyond that.
I think I will take my camera to work tomrrow and see what I can catch.

30 Day Photo Challenge - Day 7

OK OK  boring again....

so I spiced it up with the use of a filter in PhotoShop.

Today was the local Garden Tour. We have done it for 4 or 5 years now. Some gardens were OK, some were very nice, some were not to our taste and one was spectacular. The photos I took of that one did not do it justice so I chose not to post it. But I liked the centre on this flower. And I liked how the filter punched up the colour and made it a bit more interesting. If I could find my manual for this camera I would read it and figure out how to use all the settings in a way that would make even the most boring photos more interesting.

My camera is a Canon OES 50D.
