The bridge area of a Stratocaster copy guitar than I own.

Hole In The Earth



One of my slide scans of a waterfall taken in Petit Jean State Park in Arkansas in 1983.

We had hiked to the bottom of an fairly difficult trail to be at the water's edge, but I like the photos I took from above at an overlook.

I wish I had experimented more with the exposure, I should have everything in focus, but I do like how the out of focus tree tops forces you to look at the detail of mountain walls and the swimmers below.

To The Beach



Still trying to scan my my many thousands of 35mm slides from over the years.

This was taken of a little boy, Cory, in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

The exposure was a bit over, but I've always liked this shot. It's like he represents every young, or young at heart person, heading for the joys of sand and sunshine.

Eunice


I scanned a few slides from times past, mostly family stuff.

I really liked this one of my paternal grandmother from 1985.

We called her "Mamaw Eunice."

She and I were very close. But then, she loved all of her grandkids like crazy, and we were all close to her.

The Whole Orange



Here's a shot of the whole orange from yesterday's post.

(Sorry about the technical difficulties if you happened to have come here earlier and saw that the photo was missing. Simple operator error on my part, and not double-checking my work.)

What The Heck?



Give up?

It's the upper portion of a 10ft diameter (3m) orange on the side of a local highway.

That's the stem and a leaf in green, and a part of the orange body too.

Storage Shed



This is a storage shed behind the local Disabled American Veterans building in Melbourne, Florida.

The shed is nothing special, but that late afternoon winter sun is.

The quality of the sunlight is really wintery, but it was about 75 F on Friday evening when I took this photo. Warm with a nice breeze. Darn near perfect.
