Haven't checked this thread in awhile...

Love Kelly's horse and Kyle's bench. ... both lovely shots.

And Joel...that's a sweet HDR shot of the lighthouse at Irondequoit Bay. Turned out great, I'd say.

Here's my out and about this weekend...and I still can't believe it's the end of January and we don't have snow on the ground.
These were taken at Linear Park in Penfield on Saturday.

Very cool ribbon of road, Kyle... I love that one.

I was out and about today too...here's a shot from LeRoy Island on Sodus Bay...looking out to the sandbar/Crescent Beach...with the Sodus Point Lighthouse in the distance.
There should be snow and ice out there this time of year...it's more like late March or April.

Thanks. I wish I had framed it a little better. Oh well...just a reason to go back someday.

I had skipped over this one the first time. Cayman Island blow holes at sunset. The weird thing is I really did not do much to this shot. Only a little saturation of the yellows, oranges and reds. Burned shadows where water crashes over rocks to contrast the water. Burned mid-tones on over exposed water a little. Guess that's why I like it so much. Just lucky timing. A storm front was moving out.

I have been blessed. Very nice there. They drive on the opposite side of the street. The disorientation makes you just slow down and relax. The best day: saw and photographed a blue iguana (200-400 in existence), dove for Conch, fought off a moray eel 3 feet away, and feed 30 stingrays by hand. Now back to reality doing tax accounting! I hate year end.

Your right. But I will never forget the four foot eel coming after me for food. But i will quickly forget 65 hours of year end tax accounting. One memory challenges all my basic comfort zones in a good way, the other, is a reminder of the burden placed on me that does not need to be. The joy of freedom is risk/reward. period. The other is a burden that tears down my business and creates in me a hugely negative outlook, and really honestly no motivation to hire anyone.

:up: What if we made NYS in ruins a graduated theme on this? Gotta love the struggle between man made structures and nature.

Love pics of abandoned, falling apart structures left to the forces of nature.yeah?
