289: Front Porch Companion

Over the past few months I have not been photo active. This afternoon while meditating on the front porch, one of my companions showed up. I decided that as fall is approaching it might be a good idea to get a snapshot of my little friend.

Always hanging around

288: Nice folks

This week started on a low spot I lost one of me closest friend. Well today I got a little pick-me-up. I receive a package in the mail from a distant relative. It contained the first picture (among many others) of my grandfather - Grandfather.
He passed in 1907 so the image is over 100 years old.

Thanks

Mr. and Mrs. B. R. Bass

Independence Day Fireworks

285: Finally

Five years ago after shooting the local fireworks I came across the idea of shooting the Old Court House spire with fireworks behind it. The first year I selected a location to shoot several blocks away from the Courthouse and when the display started I found the burst were way off to one side, strike one. The next year I got closer and a better angle only to have street light dominate the images, strike two. Last year I thought my location was right only to learn they moved the fireworks launch site, FOUL ball. This year.....
