My kids aren’t playing sports right now… they will do more when they are older. I have played basketball forever, so here is a hoop and backboard. Taken from under the hoop. I liked the view. It is an overcast grey day here, so I liked it much better in BW. HHCC appreciated, and thanks for looking.

Basketball.. the Hoop!
January 30, 2007Bubbles!
January 28, 2007Frost
January 27, 2007Ice
January 26, 2007Finally more outside the box, and not the river! Woo hoo! We have a little evergreen in our yard and while I had my dogs outside I noticed the ice on it and all the frost and got a picture. I love the look of it!
The second one.. I had dropped off pictures at the fire department yesterday and while I was getting my kids buckled in their car seats I saw ice on a tire, on just the little pieces of rubber that stick up. I don’t think I have ever seen that. I grabbed my camera and was trying to quickly snap pictures, not quick enough evidently. The fire chief came out to find out what I was doing since it was his pickup and I had my lens right up to his tire snapping away! I quickly explained I was taking pictures of water and I just wanted pictures of the ice. He looked at the ice chuckled and wished me luck. It is official I know look like a freak, but man is it fun!
HHCC appreciated. Thanks for looking.
Blue Bridge revisited.
January 25, 2007Fire and Ice
January 24, 2007Okay, so there is no fire, but there are firefighters! Close enough. I was out snapping pictures and I saw firetrucks out again and my kids wanted pictures with them. They turned out cute, but they aren’t water. They asked me if I would be willing to take pictures of them practicing a rescue, of course I would!!! They were in the middle of the pond and the ice was about 9 inches thick. My kids loved watching it. I was wishing I had a better zoom, but I only have the kit lens. These are my favorites of the 100 or so I took.. I am loving my camera and I am not missing the lag of my old camera!! HHCC appreciated as always! Thanks for looking!
Things you see here.
January 21, 2007The pretty sand and dead weeds. This is part of a place I love and I call home. You saw the river and the pretty things now you get to see the rest! F3.5 1/160 ISO 800

As always HHCC is welcome and appreciated. I am finally understanding manual more and had fun playing around with it! I had other pictures I had taken with my old camera, but couldn’t bring myself to post them, I am too happy to use my new one!
The Temple
January 20, 2007This is among my first shots with my new Rebel XTi, I am beyond thrilled to have it. It is quite a learning curve for me, and I look forward to progressing. I didn’t get to do all I wanted to today, my son is running a fever and so I had to cut things short and try and hurry. Hopefully I will get out and get a lot more soon. HHCC appreciated! Thank you!!
