How I Spent My Last Day of Summer Vacation

Enjoy yourself, my young friend, for tomorrow morning the school bus comes.

Summer Cool

Hi Everybody,

It's been some time since I last posted. A lot has happened since "October Orange". For now though we are going to leapfrog Winter White and Spring Blossoms and move straight ahead to "Summer Cool". Enjoy.

October Orange

Hi Everybody,

This is what October 2008 looked like here in our part of the world. Not bad.

Trainin' 'n' Rainin'

Hi Friends,

This came through here last Saturday in the rain.

The Latest Photo

Dad -- age 87 years, five months.

He says that the undertaker is getting impatient, but he doesn't care. He adds, "That's his problem, not mine."

Experimenting

Hi Friends,

Sometimes you need to experiment with your camera to find out just what it can do. I experimented this afternoon, taking photos of the geraniums planted in flower pots around our deck railing. Here is a sample of the results. The white background on the first photo is the white siding on the house. The green background in the second photo is grass. I wish I could remember how I got that black background in the third photo.

Mid-Summer Rain

Hi Friends,

July and August can be pretty dry months, but not this year. Seems like we've had a lot of rain this summer here in this neck of the woods.
