If you wondered...

Well one of the reason's I haven't done my post for a long while is at first I was sick and didn't feel like getting out. I managed to post a couple of Sunday Stills and some Macro Mondays but them I lost the interest to even care. I then had to pull myself out of my depression from being sick for so long and I started a temporary job for a friend for 2 1/2 weeks. I am now at a new job and going to a new University for Biology. I never did find out what was wrong with me, and yes I am still having some problems, but I am going on. I guess that's what I get for having no insurance and being low on the totem pole when it comes to that. I couldn't hardly get my doctor to return my calls about the tests they had run. The good news is that I am feeling better and I am happy with my life again!
Happy photographing everyone!

Sunday Stills - Sounds

Here's the blurb:

"Sunday Stills, the next challenge: SoundsPosted in Sunday Stills Challenge of the Week with tags Sunday Stills, the next challenge on August 23, 2009 by Ed
Yep you read right Sounds, it was once said a picture is worth a thousand words, well I believe its the same with sound.
So this weeks challenge is to take a pic that without description( no captions) conveys sound. It should be a pic that if you look at it you should hear whats going on. Here’s an example, the roaring of the water, the scream of a first time Kayaker going over Baby Falls."

Wordless Wednesday

Macro Monday

Here's my first Macro Monday!

Sunday Stills - Aww Nuts

So this is my Aww Nuts moment! I decided to go with the expression "Aww Nuts!" for this one!

There is a story behind this and I don't know if ya'll will find it funny but to us it was hilarious! This is my wonderful friend Terri. We went to her house for a cookout and of course, being the wonderful person that I am, I decided it would be funny to pour a whole glass of ice water down her back while she was otherwise occupied. Upon doing this she lets out this half scream/half sound that only dogs can hear and goes for the water hose she had been trying to roll up. Being the coward that I am, naturally, I run into the house laughing my butt off! After a few moments in the house laughing I decided it was safe and I went back outside to see her trying to roll up the hose again, only to have it go crazy and spray her in the face! So needless to say "Aww Nuts!" So this is my interpretation of the Aww Nuts for this weeks challenge! Terri my life would be dull without you!!!! :}

Time for a bit of fun, this is for creativity as well as photography, take this challenge as you will and have fun.
Since we have alot of folks in ranching here I think we may see some fuzzy subjects, so be it and if anyone is offended I advise ya don’t check ranch blogs next week . Me personally, I don’t mind and am not easily offended.
Also I would like to personally welcome all the new folks here, we are truely going global and this has me in awe, only last December we started this with only a handfull of folks and now well it is a true community and I’m proud to be part of it. THANKS!!!!!!
Hava great week……Ed"
