The Parting Shot for April 8, 2012 22

I have been seeing some incredible photographs by some other bloggers of bees on flowers. Being able to see the pollen clearly has absolutely fascinated me. So I thought I would try my hand at it. This is the best I took. Not near as good as what I’ve been seeing on other sites… like yours, Helen! But I’m pleased for my first time.

Post-publishing note:  Well… you’re getting The Parting Shot a wee bit early today.
Last night I scheduled this to publish for tonight’s parting shot – and forgot that I have to schedule in military time.
So, I meant 10 PM but in reality I scheduled it for 10 AM. Oops……

My Date with a Mannequin 8

LOL… Actually, this was my Victim-of-the-Day for my Project 365 (technically 366) – a photo a day for a year.  My project is now up to date, so please check out the new photos added.  Captured a brilliant photo of the Sandia Mountains yesterday.

The story on this one… I met my friend Lyn, a professional dog groomer, at the store she is going to move her business into.  The current business, which is some sort of sewing shop, obviously has not yet moved out all their equipment and supplies.  I glance to the right, see a very large full-body mirror and a half-body dress form mannequin.  I could not resist the urge to have some fun.  This photo is more PG-13… I have some others that would border more on an R rating…   Shop Name:  Completely Gone to the Dogs;  Location:  Tramway and San Rafael, Albuquerque NM.

Project 365 2012 All Caught Up 5

I just updated my Project 365 | 2012 post with a weeks worth of photos.  I have been house and dog sitting since last week and just now returned home to process my photos.  Even though I had my laptop, I prefer doing all my photo work on my desktop since I have it set up for raw photography work.  Please check out my new additions.

Here is one photo, though, of my “special little guy.”  This is my dog “Dork.”  Yes, I call him Dork.  Why?  Because he’s a dork!  Born completely deaf and blind in his left eye (known as a “lethal white” Aussie), he’ll just kinda bounce around, happy as can be, and occasionally bump into a corner – or me.  Then he kind of looks at what he ran into like, “Where’d that come from???”  Then move on his merry ol’ way.

Project 365 | 2012 45

I have decided to do a Project 365 this year.  Well, technically this year it is a Project 366.  What is a Project 365 (aka Photo 365)?  Take one photo a day for a consecutive three hundred and sixty five days of the year.  Many people choose to have a theme or topic, but I have decided to go easy on myself this first year and have no specific topic.
