Practicing....

It tooks years to do so

but I finally got a DSLR.

A gift from Bill.

The weather was not good for

nature photography this week

so I spent time learning to use my new macro lens.

Netsukes are good subjects.

Cooperative.

Tireless.

Immobile.

This is the first Netsuke I purchased 25 years ago.

We found it in Hawaii.

I picked this subject because we were awaiting the arrival of our first child.

This is one my mother got as a gift from her sister -in -law.

Such detail.

Not a netsuke.

But serene....

I had an urgent need to see open water so headed for the Dam.

I wonder if someone was planning for a skiing injury

or if there was a sudden recovery.

Experiencing the Home and Garden Show

Attending the Home and Garden Show is a different experience
when you are not doing any projects.

This year I spent more time looking at things that I do NOT want or need.

The metal palm trees are not
a good fit for our landscape.

Outdoor Movies might scare the birds.

Not even the energy rebate makes these fireplaces appealing.

This guy has a disturbing resemblance to a family member.




No thanks...



These ladies are detoxifying for only $20.

OK The body shaping sounds intriguing...
