Welcome To The "Throwback Thursday" View

Today's throwback post really is just that. It goes back to my early days of digital photography. And it also happens to contain one of my all time favorite images. Shot on March 5, 2003 with the amazing Fuji S602Z at Seaworld in San Diego California is this awesome creature.

The Fuji S602Z was an awesome camera. It was a bit expensive in it's day ringing up at US$750.00 in 2003. That's around US$950.00 today. That doesn't sound like a lot but most long zoom bridge cameras cost much less now. But at the time it was one of the better options out there. I still have that camera. In fact I recently obtained a couple CF memory cards and a CF card reader. Maybe I'll take it out again and have some retro fun. Sounds like a project. Hmm.

That's all for now my friends. Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Welcome To The Wednesday View

It's Wednesday my friends and that means it's snapshot day. Well not really. Wednesday isn't really snapshot day but I am sharing a snapshot on this particular Wednesday. And today's snapshot falls under the don't try this at home category. Actually it's more like don't try this on the road. But rest assured that I was not near any other vehicles and I was traveling at a safe speed. And I also just couldn't resist the view.

This was on our way home on Monday afternoon from our Pocono camping trip. And yes I was pulling the camper when I shot it. But to share a secret the camera (phone) was mounted so I wasn't holding it.

Welcome To The Tuesday View

Today was back to work after a three day weekend. And those three days just seemed to have flown by. But at least it didn't rain today. Well not until this evening that is. And speaking of rain I mentioned in yesterday's post that during our camping trip we got a whole lot of it. But it did clear up enough on Sunday to grab a few shots at a lake near our campground. And today I am sharing one of them. This is just one view I snapped as we enjoyed a quick stop at West Emerald Lake.

Welcome To The Monday View

Kim and I are back from our camping trip and I am happy to say that although it rained most of the time we still had a good time. Just getting away can be relaxing. We have been camping many times but this time was different. After many years we finally bought our own RV. It's something we have talked about for quite a while and when the opportunity presented itself we jumped on it. And I am happy to say even though this was my first time hauling a trailer we made it out and back safe.

This morning when I went outside I saw that the skies had finally cleared and the sun was shining through. So what else would I do but grab my camera so I could share it with you?

Wow! September is here already and Summer is dwindling away. How did that happen so fast? I guess time really does fly when you are having fun. But fret not. There is still some warm days ahead and if you need some Summertime inspiration just check out this beautiful blooming flower to remind you that no matter the time of year it is always one day closer to Spring.
