Shelly Lake Eagle

Mon, 18 Mar 2019 00:02:17 GMT

Walked around Shelly Lake, spotted a Bald Eagle! They have nested there, right below the trail around the lake.

A Male Bufflehead Ducks, Ring-Necked Ducks, Great Blue Heron and Flowers!

Wed, 13 Mar 2019 00:46:58 GMT

A Male Bufflehead Duck.

I've been seeing these Bufflehead Ducks on my walks. Pretty little duck. 13" - 15", Males white and black. I've seen the females on my walks, but none when I had the camera.

Here is a group of Ring-Necked ducks. Also very pretty on the same little pond.

And one of a Great Blue Heron that flew in while I was watching the ducks:

Tue, 29 Jan 2019 13:01:54 GMT

Took a walk on Sunday at Lake Crabtree. Lots of birds around. Lots of people too, like me, stirring them up.

365/365 Time to Celebrate

Tue, 01 Jan 2019 01:04:21 GMT

Day 365
I did it! A new picture each day for an entire year. Actually, considerably more... there are 1259 photos in my 2018 Photo of the day gallery! So it should have been called my 3.45 photos a day project. I'm happy I did it, happy it is done, and very happy with most of the resulting photos. Will I start again tomorrow? No, not tomorrow!
Happy New Year!

364/365 Dad and Me

Sun, 30 Dec 2018 21:38:46 GMT

Day 364
Had a nice visit with Dad this week. He is doing well and it was great to see him.

363/365 Christmas Lights at the Gloversville Bunny Farm

Sat, 29 Dec 2018 21:15:00 GMT

No bunnies here at the bunny farm in winter, but lots and lots of pretty lights! Merry Christmas from Gloversville!

362/365 Mom's bears

Fri, 28 Dec 2018 21:14:00 GMT

Day 362
Here are Mom's bear frends. Buddy and others are on the shelf. Ozzy and Izzy are on the bed. It is winter, but they aren't hibernating. They are having a bear party at Mom's place!

361/365 Mom's place after Christmas

Thu, 27 Dec 2018 21:50:28 GMT

Day 361
Mom and I posed for a nice photo in front of the Christmas tree. Do you like the way Mom wears her glasses?

360/365 Last Wabbit Wednesday of 2018

Wed, 26 Dec 2018 21:15:00 GMT

Day 360
Here is our pretty bunny girl on the last Wabbit Wednesday of the year. She really isn't going to miss this. She picked up her treat and hid to get out of the flash zone! I told her I wouldn't take her picture again for a while!

Hiding behind the snow kids:

Hiding under her hutch:

359/365 Merry Christmas

Wed, 26 Dec 2018 00:53:59 GMT

Day 361
Have your self a Merry Christmas!

358/365 Dusty just saw Santa

Tue, 25 Dec 2018 00:43:36 GMT

Day 358
Dusty heard a noise outside, and guess who flew over? Santa! She was so excited!
Merry Christmas.

357/365 Happy bunch of dinos

Mon, 24 Dec 2018 01:35:31 GMT

Day 357
Raleigh has a very happy bunch of dinosaurs on Duraleigh Road near Pleasant Valley Road. Very bright and colorful. I've been thinking I would get this eventually, and today was the day. Stopped on the way to the Woodcraft store.

356/365 Another batch of pens

Sun, 23 Dec 2018 00:48:34 GMT

Day 356
Finished a batch of pens today. All similar, all a unique. Which do you like?

355/365 Sleigh ride

Sat, 22 Dec 2018 01:25:44 GMT

Day 355
Don't these little bears look comfy! It is a good night for a sleigh ride. That is a perfect way to see Christmas decorations and lights!

354/365 New Angel is here

Fri, 21 Dec 2018 01:42:30 GMT

Day 354
The new angel is here, and she is on the tree. She looks beautiful. Merry Christmas!

353/365 Next to last 2018 Wabbit Wednesday

Thu, 20 Dec 2018 01:23:52 GMT

Day 353
Dusty is having a good evening, she knows there aren't many Wabbit Wednesdays left. Only one more after today! Will she miss having her photo taken? You bet!

352/365 Night sky

Wed, 19 Dec 2018 01:32:25 GMT

Day 352
We have a bright moon, and partly cloudy skies tonight. 30s exposure gives nice movement in the clouds. Calm night, so the trees are very still.

351/365 Beginning to look alot like Christmas

Tue, 18 Dec 2018 01:47:59 GMT

Day 351
The tree is up! It is ready for hanging ornaments. Probably do that tomorrow. The angel won't light up... she is about 30 years old, so maybe she is done. I'll look for a new angel to top the tree.
Merry Christmas.

350/365 Ducks at Mattamuskeet

Mon, 17 Dec 2018 01:31:37 GMT

Day 350
I photographed ducks and swans at Lake Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge. It was a misty, rainy day, but the ducks didn't seem to mind. It is good to get a little rain on your face!

A gallery of 20 photos (these and a few others) has also been uploaded.

349/365 Snow Geese at Pungo Lake

Sun, 16 Dec 2018 01:56:07 GMT

Day 349
Found a huge flock of snow geese today! Traveled to the preserve at Pungo Lake. Had rainy, foggy, but warm weather today. Too much water in the air for crisp photos like last year... but still a great day shooting. Also found some bald eagles and tundra swans. A good day!

Here is a gallery with 23 photos from Pungo Lake

348/365 The Maple Sun

Fri, 14 Dec 2018 21:15:00 GMT

Day 348
The latest project to come off the lathe. 8" Hard Maple bowl/platter. 2" thick. Carved and airbrushed in yellow, orange, red and purple. I am very happy with this little project.

347/365 Still lots of snow

Fri, 14 Dec 2018 01:46:23 GMT

Day 347
Thursday evening, and Sunday's snow is still here! The flamingos are no longer covered, and Santa should be back on his feet soon!

346/365 Dusty

Thu, 13 Dec 2018 01:21:20 GMT

Day 346
Just a simple photo of Dusty. She posed while I grabbed the camera. One shot from above, one shot straight on. All done. The pretty bunny girl didn't mind this 2 shot photo shoot.

345/365 More Funko Pop! figures

Wed, 12 Dec 2018 01:58:32 GMT

Day 345
More Funko Pop! figures from the Harry Potter advent calendar. From left to right - Dobbie, Fred, Hedwig, Hagrid, Moaning Myrtle, Ron, and Hermione. They are cool. I'll have another batch next week, and I will probably use the advent calendar background next time.

344/365 Town Hall with snow and Christmas lights

Tue, 11 Dec 2018 02:12:31 GMT

Day 344
Stopped by the town hall this evening. It is pretty with the snow and the decorations.

343/365 Snow day

Mon, 10 Dec 2018 01:15:46 GMT

Day 343
Lots of snow today! Got about 7 inches of snow before it turned to rain. Very pretty morning. Hope we get a few more snow days this winter!

And of course the required photo of the table on the deck... See, we got snow!

342/365 More shop time today

Sun, 09 Dec 2018 03:17:22 GMT

Day 342
I made another nice little tea light holder today. This is Cherry wood. Stands about 5" tall, and finished up quite nicely. Good to have a shop day!

341/365 Christmas Decorations

Sat, 08 Dec 2018 01:06:03 GMT

Day 341
I drove around tonight looking for nice Christmas decorations. I didn't find any over-the-top displays to photograph, so I had to settle for these pretty and tasteful ones! I'll keep looking so don't give up... I'm sure to find some great ones soon.

Mostly clear and cold... clouds moving in, snow is on the way!

340/365 Light dance

Fri, 07 Dec 2018 00:49:25 GMT

Day 340
It is what it is! Merry Christmas!

339/365 Cute bunny

Thu, 06 Dec 2018 01:48:53 GMT

Day 339
It's Wabbit Wednesday again. Grabbed my fast 50mm lens, and left the flash in the flash drawer... Dusty doesn't mind the camera when there isn't a flash going off in her face. She hopped around and I gave her a few treats as I took these pics. Do you know there are only 3 more Wabbit Wednesdays in 2018? Yep, not many left!

338/365 4 days of Harry Potter

Wed, 05 Dec 2018 01:01:41 GMT

Day 338
Here are the first four Funco Pops from the advent calendar. Day 1 is Harry Potter himself. Day 2 is a Thestral with Day 3 bringing us Luna Lovegood. Finally there is Neville Longbottom. Who will be in day 5, 6, 7, ...? Tune in next week. I think I'll do another group on Monday!

337/365 Good Morning

Mon, 03 Dec 2018 19:17:24 GMT

Day 337

Beautiful December morning at SAS. This pretty sky hangs over building R, and the landscaped grounds. This fits December's palette, but does show it isn't only brown! There can be green and blue mixed in.

336/365 Chrsitmas Lights

Sun, 02 Dec 2018 21:15:00 GMT

Day 336
Christmas lights at Stan Hywet house and gardens. The lights at the annual Deck the Halls. The pictures don't do it justice. Just amazing. Over 1 million lights!

335/365 December has arrived

Sat, 01 Dec 2018 21:15:00 GMT

Day 335
I find December's palette calming and beautiful. After the exciting fall colors fade, it is time to reset, go back as basic as basic can be. Resting through the winter, knowing another spring will come and the greens will return.

334/365 Harry Potter Funco pops advent calendar

Fri, 30 Nov 2018 21:15:00 GMT

Day 334
We are ready for December! Matt picked up a Harry Potter advent calendar. It is full of Funco Pocket Pops! I'm sure I'll be sharing them as December goes by. This will be fun(ko)!

333/365 Bunny Snack Time

Fri, 30 Nov 2018 01:36:20 GMT

Day 333
Dusty is snacking on her Timothy Hay cube. Good snack for the bunny girl.

332/365 Contest entries have been selected

Thu, 29 Nov 2018 01:33:21 GMT

Day 332
The entry deadline for the annual Adirondack Life photography contest is December 1, 2018. Good news for me, my 5 entries have been selected! One from Indian Lake, three from Raquette lake and one from Eight Lake. Feels good to have this done.
Now I have to do the final checks and I will upload them tomorrow. 2 days to spare. Let's hope I get something selected for the magazine next February!

331/365 The kids are ready for Christmas

Tue, 27 Nov 2018 23:26:42 GMT

Day 331
The little kids are bundled up and looking for Santa to come. Still a while to wait, but they are very patient!

330/365 Flamingos happy to see Santa

Tue, 27 Nov 2018 01:26:52 GMT

Day 330
Santa arrived in the front yard, and the flamingos welcomed him. they just know the big present he has is for them. Probably pink socks for the cold winter ahead! Welcome, Santa!

329/365 Pen making day

Mon, 26 Nov 2018 01:37:13 GMT

Day 329
I made some pens today. The purple one is for my sister Karen. (Don't tell her!) She is crazy about purple. There is only so much you can do with pen making. I prefer other projects, but they make great gifts.

328/365 A wet and chilly fall night on Trillingham Lane

Sun, 25 Nov 2018 00:40:35 GMT

Day 328
Rained much of the day today, and the temperature is hanging at 40°. Perfect night for some street photography. Wet roads look so much better, especially at night.

327/365 Have some pie!

Sat, 24 Nov 2018 01:49:27 GMT

Day 327
Time for a piece of pumpkin pie. It is one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving. Yummy pumpkin pie. Topped with whipped cream. But first turkey. Better with stuffing. With gravy. And homemade bread. With butter. Real butter. And maybe another piece of pie!

326/365 Yellow and blue wide rimmed shallow bowl

Fri, 23 Nov 2018 01:40:43 GMT

Day 326
It is done! You saw this in the sneak peek back on day 316. Sure looks different now. The bowl portion is about an inch deep. 10" diameter sycamore bowl. I'm very pleased with my first attempt at carving and coloring. Learned a lot doing it too. Stay tuned for more!

325/365 Dusty on the Wabbit Wednesday before Thanksgiving

Thu, 22 Nov 2018 01:34:45 GMT

Day 325
Dusty is getting ready for Thanksgiving. She doesn't share the Thanksgiving turkey, but she'll get some good Timothy Hay. And maybe some carrot to celebrate. Lucky little bunny girl.

324/365 Third moon photo for the year

Wed, 21 Nov 2018 01:56:58 GMT

Day 324
Back to the moon. Or at least back to photographing the moon. I can't go back because I've never been there!
The moon is at 88% and waxing. You can still see some crater outlines, particularly on the lower left. But overall much flatter than the other previous pictures of the moon when it was about 50% full. It was a nice clear calm night, so I just had to take one more shot.

323/365 Tree tops in late afternoon sunshine

Tue, 20 Nov 2018 01:43:19 GMT

Day 323
Treetops in the backyard from the driveway. Some bare, some green, some orange... Lightroom HDR panorama processing with Photoshop Orton effect added.

322/365 Best Western Duck failure

Mon, 19 Nov 2018 01:18:12 GMT

Day 322
I acquired this little duck while staying at the Best Western Inn in Staunton Virginia for the Woodturning symposium. I decided to get some photos today for the photo of the day. I found the duck doesn't float upright! He falls right over. Who makes a duck that doesn't float? Crazy! I tried to get it to float for just a second to take a quick photo... no go. Flopped right over!

Stand him up (black fingers because I forgot to wear gloves while using the airbrush today!):

and he flops right over!:

321/365 The park after dark

Sun, 18 Nov 2018 01:23:19 GMT

Day 321
Spooky bond park after dark! I like the way the parking lot lights shine through the trees and down the slope. Nice night to sit on the park bench and watch the starlight fall on the landscape.

320/365 International House of Burgers and Pancakes

Sat, 17 Nov 2018 01:09:12 GMT

Day 320
Where else can you get pancakes as a side for your burger? IHOBP. It sounded strange but I needed to order it for the photo of the day. I did enjoy both burger and pancakes. Matt went with the Belgian Dark Chocolate Mousse Pancakes. Now we are talking!

and in the latest workshop equipment item, a new shop ceiling quartz heater:

319/365 More shop equipment / Save the lungs

Fri, 16 Nov 2018 02:14:17 GMT

Day 319
Just put in an air filtration system for the shop. Now that it is cold, I don't have the door open with a big box fan blowing in fresh air... so I need to filter what I have in the shop. It is a basic unit, but I know it will help keep the dust out of the air and out of my lungs!

318/365 My Dusty

Wed, 14 Nov 2018 23:12:50 GMT

Day 218
Once again, it is Miss Dusty for Wabbit Wednesday! Pretty girl!

317/365 Ready for winter, ready to skate

Wed, 14 Nov 2018 01:14:28 GMT

Day 317
This little guy always gets to skate... maybe I'll get to as well this winter. Been too long!

316/365 Sneak peek

Tue, 13 Nov 2018 01:21:52 GMT

Day 316
Here is a sneak peek of my current lathe project. It is an 11" sycamore something. Just a peak, so I can't give away too much info!
The wood is beautiful, and the new wood burner works really well. Very pleased. I hope the airbrush works out just as well. It is one of the next steps on this piece!

315/365 Color is on the ground now

Mon, 12 Nov 2018 01:29:30 GMT

Day 315
I found all of these leaves in the driveway this afternoon. What a nice variety! Most of the ones in the driveway are brown oak leaves. I looked around and managed to find others with some nice color. I'll get the rake and the leaf blower out soon.

314/365 My birds

Sun, 11 Nov 2018 01:46:22 GMT

Day 314
Some of my birds. I'll do another batch before the end of the year.

313/365 Little coke bottle

Sat, 10 Nov 2018 02:40:27 GMT

Day 313
More treasure! A little 1 1/2" coke bottle. Mom gave it to me. But not just a coke bottle... it is a lighter! Dates back to the 1950's from what I can find on the internet. The flint needs replacing, but I'm sure it would work if it was replaced and filled with fluid. Maybe I'll see what I can find on the internet.

312/365 FJ&G E.R.R.

Fri, 09 Nov 2018 01:07:01 GMT

Day 312
Here is some history. Two tokens from the old Fonda, Johnstown and Gloversville railroad. Or its predecessor the Electric Railroad. I wonder how old these tokens are? My Mom gave them to me this summer. More treasure for the treasure box!

311/365 Waaaaabit Wednesday

Thu, 08 Nov 2018 01:36:15 GMT

Day 311
Dusty's turn again... used the Galaxy S9 cell phone this week. She doesn't love it, but it a little less bothersome. She didn't run away!
What a pretty bunny this week.

310/365 Another new tool

Wed, 07 Nov 2018 01:41:09 GMT

Day 310
This is the Colwood Detailer wood burning tool. I picked this up while in Virginia at the Woodturning symposium. I hope to embellish my future wood turning projects with wood burning and texturing using this nice wood burner. At the very least my signing and decrative artwork on the bottom should be better!

309/365 New Grex airbrush

Tue, 06 Nov 2018 01:03:21 GMT

Day 309
I bought an airbrush for painting my wood turnings while at the Woodturning symposium this weekend. Putting it all together today. Can't wait to get the paint flying!

308/365 Shenandoah Valley from Betsy Bell Wilderness Park

Sun, 04 Nov 2018 21:15:00 GMT

Betsy Bell Wilderness Park overlooks the valley. It is a park in Staunton Virginia. There is a narrow gravel road to the top - 4WD recommended, but in reality, any car could easily drive to the top. Pretty views on a nice sunny fall day.

307/365 Virginia Woodturning Symposium

Sun, 04 Nov 2018 00:38:32 GMT

Day 307
Spent the day at the Virginia Woodturning Symposium. Great day. Learned a lot. Very nicely done.

306/365 Walmart home decor

Sat, 03 Nov 2018 02:12:44 GMT

Day 306
Random photo of the day. I traveled to Fishersville Virginia for the Virginia Woodturners Symposium. Dark rainy drive, so I didn't find anything on the way. So naturally, I went to Walmart to find something interesting. Here it is. I think I will keep the owl, but the hand and the flamingo may have to go back tomorrow. Maybe the owl too. I don't think bouncing photons off them for the photograph has caused much wear and tear.

305/365 Fall dogwoods

Thu, 01 Nov 2018 21:05:04 GMT

Day 305
Dogwoods in the back yard.

304/365 Pet Pad Wabbit Wednesday

Wed, 31 Oct 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 304
I gave Dusty the week off... she has had enough of Wabbit Wednesday. So I went to the pet store and photographed these cute bunnies. I did get Dusty some treats, so she is happy about this trip to see other rabbits.

303/365 Ducky day at Bond park

Tue, 30 Oct 2018 23:38:28 GMT

Day 303
I went to Bond park to get some duck photos today, no knowing it was the Pumpkin Flotilla. I'm not sure what a Pumpkin Flotilla is, but it is a very popular one with people of Cary. No so much for the ducks of Bond Park. People everywhere... and it was getting dark, so I really had to up the ISO to capture what I did. Still, you can't have too many duck photos.

302/365 Field tree

Mon, 29 Oct 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 302
A lone tree in a farm field in the morning light. Very peaceful, even if this tree looks a bit spooky! I always wonder why one tree is left to grow out in the middle of a field. I would like to go sit under it on a warm day. That is probably why it is there. Just a bit of shelter when needed.

301/365 Forest in motion

Sun, 28 Oct 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 301
More forest photos for today, but it is all about the color and the feeling. Different kind of photos than I usually make.

300/365 Color comes to the forest

Sun, 28 Oct 2018 01:04:41 GMT

Day 300
A triple exposure of a misty diffused lit forest scene. One sharp, and 2 more out of focus and blended to wrap soft light around the trees and leaves. The technique works, but this scene is just too busy and messy to be truly pleasing. I'll keep looking!

Should have tried this technique with this much less busy composition:

299/365 Not like the ads

Sat, 27 Oct 2018 01:17:35 GMT

Day 299
BK Whopper combo for dinner tonight. This doesn't quite look like the Whopper on the menu board. Tasted good, but not very pretty! I do think the food photo on standard mode came out better than the food photo on food mode. Not surprised!

298/365 Original NY Pizza Stromboli

Thu, 25 Oct 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 298
I tried the "food" style on my new Galaxy S9 phone camera. Seems to blur the edges. that might be what you want for some food photography, but I should have just used it in standard mode.
The stromboli was excellent!

And out in the parking lot, this frightening sight:

297/365 Good hair day

Wed, 24 Oct 2018 23:56:23 GMT

Day 297
I did Dusty's hair for photos today. Pretty bunny!

296/365 Turning by product

Wed, 24 Oct 2018 00:06:35 GMT

Day 296
This is what I have in the shop after turning a couple things... lots of shavings, chips, and dust. Hopefully most of the true dust is in the dust collector. This is what I swept up from the floor around the lathe. It is pretty! I wish I knew of something useful for all of this waste. It is currently going to the landfill...

295 No more jungle

Mon, 22 Oct 2018 21:34:28 GMT

Day 295
The overgrown Azaleas have been trimmed. And by trimmed I mean removed! I'll replace them with new small bushes in the spring!

294/365 The sun has set over Lake Crabtree

Mon, 22 Oct 2018 00:03:35 GMT

Day 294
I dashed out of the house after eating dinner tonight to get the day's photo. I got to the lake just in time. The sun was down, but the sky was a brillant orange, transitioning to blue. Very pretty. Shot a quick 6 shot pano for the photo of the day.

293/365 Time for the closeup

Sun, 21 Oct 2018 00:18:03 GMT

Day 293
I didn't like yesterday's photo very much... so I decided to do one more of the jack o'lantern. I think this is a nice creepy face!

292/365 Getting ready for a Happy Halloween!

Sat, 20 Oct 2018 00:18:46 GMT

Day 292
I did some carving this evening. What do you think? Scary? Happy? I like it. Enjoy!

291/365 Pre Jack-o'-Lanteen

Sat, 20 Oct 2018 00:15:50 GMT

Day 291
Soon (tomorrow?) this will become a Jack-o'-lantern! Should I make it fun? Or scary? I'm thinking scary! I am sure it will show up here as the photo of the day. Come on back and see what I did with it!

290/365 Miss Dusty

Thu, 18 Oct 2018 00:41:21 GMT

Day 290
It is Wabbit Wednesday again. Here's Dusty!

289/365 Time for another selfie

Wed, 17 Oct 2018 00:42:37 GMT

Day 289
I took Eric's picture here on Sunday... my turn. Looks like my glasses need to be adjusted!

288/365 Light painting flowers

Mon, 15 Oct 2018 23:59:30 GMT

Day 288
Photographing flowers in the dark... with a 3 cell Maglite to selective light the flowers.

287/365 The birthday boy - Eric's 25th

Mon, 15 Oct 2018 00:08:35 GMT

Day 287
The birthday boy posed for today's photo... he wanted a majestic looking up thinking pose... so that is what he picked for this main photo. I like the more traditional ones... so I'll add them as well!. Happy birthday Eric!

286/365 Castle inspired tea light

Sun, 14 Oct 2018 01:16:16 GMT

Day 286
Back in the shop today. First time in a month. First time since I had a nasty reaction to wood dust. It felt great to be back creating one of a kind items. This one is for me. I like it! Beware of dragons!

285/365 The Cary on a Friday evening

Sat, 13 Oct 2018 00:17:58 GMT

Day 285
I made it back to The Cary after dark. So much more interesting than in the daylight. I didn't see The Cameraman tonight. I was the cameraman tonight!

284/365 Wabbit Thursday?

Fri, 12 Oct 2018 00:43:43 GMT

Day 284
A special edition of Wabbit Wednesday! The last two Wednesday have been part of my Adirondack series, so Dusty asked if she could have today. I said sure, especially since we were under a tropical storm warning and a tornado warning, and the governor asked people to stay home and indoors. So it all worked out!

283/365 Light keeps changing

Thu, 11 Oct 2018 00:22:08 GMT

Day 283
A panoramic image from the overlook on Route 30 near Indian Lake. What a pretty day!

This is the final photo in the series of fall color in the Adirondacks. It was a good run, but all good things come to an end eventually. Until next year...

282/365 Shore of Lake Durant

Wed, 10 Oct 2018 00:38:55 GMT

Day 282
Some very pretty scenery at Lake Durant. Leaves are changing. A bright but overcast day.

281/365 Fly pond fall morning

Tue, 09 Oct 2018 00:40:31 GMT

Day 281
A nice fall morning at fly pond. Mist over the trees, calm water, some nice color starting to show. Very pretty. I always enjoy photographing at fly pond.

280/365 Sunrise at Raquette Lake South Inlet

Mon, 08 Oct 2018 01:10:22 GMT

Day 280
Another misty sunrise in the Adirondacks. It was close to being a very colorful sunrise, but the color stayed low on the horizon. Still very pretty with the clouds and mist.

279/365 Wading into the pond

Sun, 07 Oct 2018 00:08:52 GMT

Day 279
Wading into the pond gives a pretty view back to the shoreline. This pond is pretty shallow, at least for a good way out. I really like the reeds in the foreground, and the fall colors starting to show in the forest. But that big Eastern white pine isn't ever going to change colors!

278/365 Eight Lake on a cloudy fall morning

Fri, 05 Oct 2018 23:48:37 GMT

Day 278
Cloudy skies as a storm moves in at Eight Lake. The color just kept shifting from blue to yellow as the clouds moved around. Very dynamic scene.

277/365 Moss Lake Island

Fri, 05 Oct 2018 01:06:57 GMT

Day 277
Very falt light at Moss lake before sunset. Total cloud cover. Decided to try to capture a nice picture of the island. Beautiful trees, one with an Osprey nest!

276/365 Rainy fall morning

Thu, 04 Oct 2018 00:43:54 GMT

Day 276
Rain rain go away, come again another day. Rain makes for colorful leaves, and wet leaves too... Beautiful morning at lower Browns Tract pond.

275/365 Sunset Seventh Lake

Tue, 02 Oct 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 275
Just when I had given up on a colorful sunset, the sky turned pink! Luckily I hadn't put the camera away, and I was sitting in a perfect spot to capture it over this tree growing over the lake.

Before sunset:

and another during colorful sunset:

274/365 Fognado on Raquette Lake

Mon, 01 Oct 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 274
The mist came across Raquette lake, and then shot into the air forming a Fog Tornado... Fognado. It was a unique thing to see, and it went on all morning. Very pretty sunrise colors behind the spectical made of mist.

273/365 Adirondack Sunset

Sun, 30 Sep 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 273
Sunset at the Woods Inn in Inlet, NY. This is the start of an Adirondack week here on my photo of the day. Fortunate to get a full week of photography on the Adirondacks this year in an Adirondack Photography Institute retreat. Hope you enjoy the photos from the mountains!

272/365 Art by R

Sat, 29 Sep 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Another large work on SAS campus in front of building R. I like this one in the sunlight. Named "Subconscious Musings" by Peggy Burke.

271/365 Crushed something

Fri, 28 Sep 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 271
I have photogrpaphed this scene at night. Looks so different with this scuplture lit from below, with SAS building R lit in the background. This piece is named "Intuition" by Konried Muench.

270 Not artwork!

Thu, 27 Sep 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 270
After seeing all the sculptures around campus, you might at first think this is more art... no, this is for pull-ups! There are outdoor fitness stations around the athletic fields. Get busy!

269/365 Not hiding this week

Wed, 26 Sep 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 269

Taking a bunny break from SAS photos for today. It's Wabbit Wednesday, and I haven't seen any rabbits at work lately.
Dusty is out and about for this week's photo shoot. She is sitting on the fireplace hearth eating a treat. Lucky pretty bunny!

268/365 Deer!

Tue, 25 Sep 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 268
Frightened Deer by Richard Rothschild is placed near the athletic fields on the SAS campus. The vegitation has grown up around these deer, so hopefully they are less frightened now!

267/365 Striking

Mon, 24 Sep 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 267
Located at the front entrance of Building S is a piece named "Point Traveling Through Space At An Erratic Speed" by Robert Mangold. Also a large piece, it is quite striking!

266/365 Quest at SAS

Sun, 23 Sep 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 266
This 30' tall painted steel sculpture is entitled "Quest". Johanna Jordan is the artist. It is painted in the blue and gold of the SAS brand. Big boy!

265/365 Floating

Sat, 22 Sep 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 265
Almost floating... look carefully and you can see the webs holding it. Happy first day of Fall! This little leaf is ready for Autumn. And I only have 100 more days to go on this 365 project!

And a few more interesting things at SAS...

Pretty flowers on the patio

Chess anyone?

Going up!

264/365 Series 4 No. 5

Fri, 21 Sep 2018 20:15:00 GMT

The first day in a series of shots from SAS campus. The campus has a large collection of sculptures and other artworks. This on is named "Series 4 No. 5" by Stephen Porter and outside my building, Building R. Needs to be polished and the base cleaned. I think it would be very pretty all spruced up!

263/365 The Moon

Thu, 20 Sep 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 263
I know this is very similar to another shot, but I just love the moon at this phase. The craters just stand out and the shape is so cool. So here it is again... and it may not be the last time it makes it to the photo of the day in 2018! But you know something, I can't ever 'see' the man in the moon. Do you see him?

262/365 Playing hard to get

Thu, 20 Sep 2018 00:15:59 GMT

Day 262
Dusty was not into getting photographed today. She kept hiding, so it was a short shoot! Still a cute bunny.

261/365 Should have went to the lake

Wed, 19 Sep 2018 00:40:46 GMT

Day 261
I wish I had grabbed the camera and went to the lake instead of running to Best Buy. Oh well, win some lose some. I did find the flash drives I wanted, so some good came from the trip.

And when it is pretty in one direction, turn around... might be great there too...

260/365 Could be a lot worse

Tue, 18 Sep 2018 00:34:15 GMT

Day 260
The yard needs a good raking! I'm not complaining that this is what Florence left behind, as it could be a lot worse, and *is* a lot worse for so many people in the Carolinas. I do feel bad for the squirrels - most of this mess is the remnants of the squirrel nests. Just note how well the moss came through our 4 days of steady rain!

259/365 Last photo in the Florence gourd trilogy

Mon, 17 Sep 2018 00:14:22 GMT

Day 259
Hurricane/Tropical storm Florance is finally leaving the area. We've been under hurricane watches, tropical storm warnings, tornado watches, and flash flood warnings for the better part of 4 days now. Not good conditions to go out in search of photos. Fortunately, there was no real storm damage in the immediate area, so I am thankful for that. The lesson is when stuck inside, photograph inside! Here are my 5 gourds, all friendly in the pecan bowl from day 196 on July 15. This is what you can do with a failed lathe project! I hope you've enjoyed these colorful vegetables (or whatever they are)! I hope to get out and photograph something OUTSIDE tomorrow.

258/365 More gourds or decrative pumpkins

Sun, 16 Sep 2018 00:12:14 GMT

Day 258
I love these little guys. Such vivid colors and cool textures. I hope they last a while. I've had some that dry out and turn into rattles as the seeds shake inside. I'll try that with these 3 this year!

257/365 Looking forward to fall

Sat, 15 Sep 2018 00:49:17 GMT

Day 257
I didn't want summer to end, but now I am looking forward to a nice cool and pleasant fall. I found this guy in the supermarket today, and just had to bring him home. I always called this a gourd, but the store calls them decorative pumpkins. Hmmm.

256/365 Storm prep

Fri, 14 Sep 2018 00:51:26 GMT

Day 256
Hurricane Florence is headed our way, and most people have some preparation work before the wind and rain arrives. My next door neighbor, Al, had to brace his fig tree. I "braced" mine with a chainsaw a couple years ago! Al, I hope this works.

255/365 Dusty on Wabbit Wednesday

Thu, 13 Sep 2018 00:20:18 GMT

Day 255
More photos of the cute bunny! Happy Wabbit Wednesday.

254/365 Hazards of wood turning

Wed, 12 Sep 2018 00:11:17 GMT

Day 254
Suffering from a rash caused by exposure to wood dust! Both arms from the elbow to the wrist, and all around my neck. The pictures don't really do it justice. I've had on my arms for 8 days, and around my neck for 3 days. I'm so done with this. Itches like crazy. Benadryl helps, but it does make me pretty drowsy. All in all there are much worse problems to have than itchy skin. But it does get old - I hope it clears up soon. And then it looks like I will need to better protect and clean my skin if I'm going to keep turning!

253/365 9/11 Memorial, Apex NC

Mon, 10 Sep 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 253
On this September 10th 2018, we remember 17 years ago tomorrow - September 11, 2001.

Right down the street from the memorial, a rock garden and a mini library:

252/365 Apex NC

Mon, 10 Sep 2018 01:14:55 GMT

Day 252
Drove one town over to see what I could find. Ended up in the pretty little downtown section of Apex NC. Fairly busy on a Sunday evening. Pretty old time main street (Salam St actually!).

251/365 3 more pens

Sun, 09 Sep 2018 00:37:17 GMT

Day 251
I finished 3 pens today. I am pretty sure they will end up as Christmas gifts... pens for everyone this year! Walunt on each end, pudauk in the middle. I bought an ebony blank for one pen, but it cracked while I was preparing it. Bummer. I'll get another peice and be a bit more careful next time.

250/365 A bunny and it isn't even Wabbit Wednesday

Fri, 07 Sep 2018 23:59:49 GMT

Day 250
I was looking for my photo when I saw this lit up outside as darkenss fell. I shot this before in the daylight, but it really deserves to be shot at night. Here it is. Better late than never!

249/365 LED flicker tea light

Thu, 06 Sep 2018 23:59:25 GMT

Day 249
The latest project off the lathe. A pretty maple tea light candle. The little LED tea lights are perfect for a nice artful maple holder. Simple and elegant little project.

Thu, 06 Sep 2018 00:41:38 GMT

247/365 First United Methodist Church

Wed, 05 Sep 2018 00:16:14 GMT

Day 247
A quick photo of the First United Methodist Church in Cary NC. Blue sky behind me, dark stormy sky ahead. Our weather pattern is bringing hot weather and storms every afternoon until things cool down in the evening. Can't complain about the dramatic sky in this shot!

246/365 107 W Chatham

Tue, 04 Sep 2018 00:04:32 GMT

Day 246
The old timey mural at 107 W Chatham Street. I beleive this is part of Ashworh's pharmacy, or at least it is connected to the Ashworth's building at the corner. Cool old mural.

245/365 Cary Train Station

Mon, 03 Sep 2018 00:26:32 GMT

Day 245
Cary train station on a summer afternoon. Looks like a nice blue sky, and it was pointing in this direction... behind me the sky was black and there was lightning (and of course thunder)! Got the shot and packed up before the rain came pouring down!

And one with the more dramatic sky:

244/365 A small Quebracho vase

Sun, 02 Sep 2018 01:36:48 GMT

Day 244
Here is a small bud vase from Quebracho. I used a small test tube to line the vase. I really like the quebracho. Reminded me of a giraffe's neck, so that is the animal on the bottom.

243/365 Osage orange and mesquite bowl

Sat, 01 Sep 2018 00:32:37 GMT

Day 243
A nice little (4-5 inch diameter) lidded bowl from Osage orange and mesquite. Both hardwoods. Turned very nicely. Woods look good together. I'll look for more osage orange for future projects. Mesquite too!

242/365 Square(ish) bowl - Leopard Wood

Fri, 31 Aug 2018 01:07:00 GMT

Day 242
Finished a square-ish bowl today. Pretty leopard wood. Different turning for a different wood. I liked it. Next one will have more pronounced tips.

241/365 Smile for the cam

Thu, 30 Aug 2018 00:34:52 GMT

Day 241

Diner at Bojangles... 2 piece white meat with mashed potatos and gravy, with a biscuit on the side of course. Unsweetened ice tea to wash it down. Yum!

239/365 Happy double sunflower

Mon, 27 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 239
This sunflower is so happy, a single size head can't contain it all... the happiness burst out into a double sunflower head!

And in the "what's your hurry?" category:

238/365 12" Cherry wood burl

Sun, 26 Aug 2018 20:09:43 GMT

Happened apon a very nice pice of wood for a future lathe project! These big burls are like gold, and I fortunate to have been given this one by a neighbor who cuts wood as a side job. What will I make? I'm sure it will be a future photo of the day.

237/365 Mushrooms along the trails

Sat, 25 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 237
It is a good year for mushrooms. Found some interesting ones in the woods along the trails.

236/365 View from the top of Baldface mountain

Sat, 25 Aug 2018 01:48:33 GMT

Day 236
Here is a pretty panoramic image from the top of Baldface mountain. To get to the trail you have to paddle across the lake. Then is is a rather short .8 mile hike to the summit. Very nice views on a warm summer day.

235/365 East Jimmy Creek Waterfall

Fri, 24 Aug 2018 03:15:53 GMT

Day 235
Today I visited East Jimmy Creek Waterfall. My first visit there. It is a very pretty waterfall. Probably about a 10-foot drop. Not huge, but very pretty.

234/365 Happy Wabbit Wednesday in the pines

Wed, 22 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 234
Dusty has the week off... but these little rabbits were happy to party in the pines. Wabbits are happy critters.

233/365 The pines

Tue, 21 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 233
Trying to get a nice shot of a pine grove. I'll keep trying...

232/365 Sawyer Mountain

Mon, 20 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 232
View from the top of Sawyer Mountain. It was a hazy day, with passing storms. A nice pleasant breezy view from the top!

231/365 Belle goes for a swim

Sun, 19 Aug 2018 21:03:22 GMT

Day 231
Belle isn't a water dog, but a cool swim on a hot day is good for her. She is a good swimmer, although she doesn't enjoy it much.

230/365 Monarch in flight

Sat, 18 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

227/365 Dusty dusty dusty dusty and dusty

Wed, 15 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 227
Wabbit Wednesday with my favorite bunny. Miss Dusty was happy I turned off the flash this morning. I turned on all the lights in the room, and that was enough to get good pics without annoying the bunny with the flash! Anything for the Wabbit.

226/365 Sunset at the lake

Tue, 14 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 226
Back to Lake Crabtree to see if there would be a nice sunset. Things looked promising - we had clouds and it was clearing to the West. But it just didn't really work out. Still not a bad way to end the day.

225/365 Mom's Gobblet

Mon, 13 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 225
Mom liked the first gobblet I made, so I made one for her! I gave it to her in July, but not before photographing it. It is time to share the photo as the photo of the day!

224/365 Great Blue Heron

Sun, 12 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 224
Great Blue Heron on the shores of Lake Crabtree. Went to one of my go-to spots... Looking for a sunset, but I found this big beautiful bird instead! I didn't get too close, he was trying to his dinner!

223/365 Yard shrooms

Sat, 11 Aug 2018 20:00:00 GMT

Fri, 10 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

220/365 Dusty working on her nest

Wed, 08 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 220
Dusty builds a nest with beach towels in this little basket. She has spent a lot of time trying to get things just right... hard to get a picture of this as she is moving fast to arrange the towels just right. Then she needs to rest, and maybe have some hay.

219/365 Ducks ducks ducks

Tue, 07 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 219
I visited my duck friends at Bond Park. They are a happy bunch of ducks.

218/365 Sweaty Me Monday

Mon, 06 Aug 2018 20:00:00 GMT

Day 218
Post workout selfie in the SAS Gym parking lot. Ran outside this morning. Low 70s with dew point the same... lots of mist and fog to start out. Makes for a moist morning run.

217/365 Sunday Brunch

Mon, 06 Aug 2018 00:18:25 GMT

Day 217
Huevos Rancheros at Le Farm bakery for Sunday Brunch. It was very good. Cinnamon chip scone, potatoes, and melons. Perfect. Matt had the Eggs Benedict, and that was good too!

216/365 The Cary

Sat, 04 Aug 2018 20:00:00 GMT

Day 216
Cary's oldest movie theater. Now owned and run by the Town of Cary, this theater hosts a variety of events. Good to have it back as a theater in the heart of the new downtown.

215/365 Ashworth's Drug Store

Fri, 03 Aug 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 215
Here for 61 years, and going strong, Ashworth's pharmacy. Old fashioned soda counter makes this a landmark in the Town of Cary.

Day 212
Academy street is lined with art, all part of CaryASAP - Academy Street Artwork Project. This one is 'Gemini' by Ray Katz, in front of the First Baptist Church. There are benches on either side... I wonder if they are part of the piece? I don't know. I do like the placement under this large tree.

211/365 Veterans Freedom Park before a storm

Mon, 30 Jul 2018 23:25:39 GMT

Day 211
Dramatic skies before a storm in the Cary Veterans Freedom park. When the rain came it came hard.

210/365 The beast

Sun, 29 Jul 2018 23:39:10 GMT

Day 210
These spiders live in front of the SAS RFC. They are huge. This one is about 2 inches! The others are a bit smaller. There are lights that shine on the building here, so it must be very easy to catch insects in the webs. And there are pretty flowers planted below, so it is a classy place to make your web.

209/365 Big dipper over Gloversville

Sun, 29 Jul 2018 02:25:48 GMT

Day 209
I managed to get one shot of the big dipper before the clouds came in... I wanted the milky way, but I'll have to try another night...

208/365 Woodchuck Hill field and forest preserve

Fri, 27 Jul 2018 19:59:16 GMT

Day 208
I made a quick stop at Woodchuck Hill field and forest preserve today. Nice little preserve with a hiking trail into the forest and along wetlands and a beaver pond. Beautiful! Barn cats greet you at the parking area, and it just gets better from there. Just don't forget the deet!

207/365 Moms swan pond

Thu, 26 Jul 2018 20:39:13 GMT

Day 207

Wed, 25 Jul 2018 20:15:00 GMT

205/365 New shoes for the Wrangler

Tue, 24 Jul 2018 20:46:00 GMT

Day 205
It was time for new tires on the Wrangler. I went with new Firestone Destination A/T. Now I won't be afraid of driving in heavy rain. At least not for another 30,000 miles. And they look great on the Wrangler. Better than the old Michelins.

204/365 First trip to Upstate Cancer Center

Mon, 23 Jul 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 204
At the Upstate Cancer Center in Syracuse today to take mom in for treatment. Visit went well, in and out in 20 minutes. Mom has 11 more radiation treatments left to go.

203/365 Transistion from golden flowers to golden birds

Sun, 22 Jul 2018 20:15:00 GMT

The sunflowers may be done blooming, and that is fine with the birds! The sunflower patch was LOADED with gold finches. Happy well fed birds.

202/365 Sunny day

Sun, 22 Jul 2018 01:26:28 GMT

Day 202
Visited some sunflowers planted along I-40 at an exit /entrance ramp. Most have gone to seed, but a few are still standing tall. And still pretty in the late afternoon sunshine.

201/365 Tuscan Pizza

Sat, 21 Jul 2018 00:41:05 GMT

Day 201
Hot Point Deli. Yum. Pizza on a Friday evening. What else would be the photo of the day?

200/365 Landscaping at the shopping center

Fri, 20 Jul 2018 00:20:39 GMT

Day 200
Picking up greens for Dusty, and looking for the photo of the day. Found these pretty plants in the shopping plaza with the grocery store. Perfect and pretty for day 200.

199/365 Bunny loaf

Thu, 19 Jul 2018 01:03:01 GMT

Day 199
A very happy Dusty, in the Bunny loaf position. This is a happy bunny being, all settled in ready for attention. It is good to be a Wabbit on Wabbit Wednesday.

198/365 Mystery project

Wed, 18 Jul 2018 00:50:16 GMT

Day 198
Good progress on the next project on the lathe. What could it be? Here's a hint. It is hollow! I'll have the finished product in a future post, so I will let you know eventually!

Oh, Do these help:?

Probably not...

See you tomorrow!

197/365 Photographing flowers during lunch hour

Tue, 17 Jul 2018 01:41:11 GMT

Day 197
There are some pretty flowers out on the back patio at work. Bees and butterflies enjoy them too.

196/365 Lathe fail

Mon, 16 Jul 2018 00:54:41 GMT

Day 196
They don't all work out. Here is a nice 8" pecan bowl that turned into a failure, and a valuable lesson. It was the largest object I've turned, and it roughed out nicely. I was starting to make finishing cuts to clean up the outside, and things went terribly wrong. I have heard it is best to try new techniques on practice pieces... but at this point, almost everything is a new technique. This was a very dramatic "catch" of my skew chisel. It broke out a big chunk of the bowl, split the bowl in half (you can see the glue line if you look for it), and broke the chisel in half as well, sending it across the shop banging against the opposite wall. I didn't get hurt, so I'm happy with the outcome! Just lost a $50 chisel and a $15 bowl blank. Some lessons cost more than others.

195/365 Another bowl

Sun, 15 Jul 2018 00:43:41 GMT

Day 195
Another bowl off the lathe. This is a pretty little figured maple bowl. Finished with a friction polish shellac wax. Perfect for jelly beans. Or loose change, or what nots. Yes, what nots will be placed in it!

194/365 Happy Fry Day

It is National French Fry Day. Just *had* to do a french fry picture. These are Remington Grill frys. And a small part of a Remington Grill cheese steak sandwich. Frys were goood! Happy Fry day. #NationalFrenchFryDay

Sunset on the SAS campus at the site of the new SAS Building A. Opening early in 2019, the exterior is complete and the interior is coming along. At 9 stories, it is the tallest building on campus.

192/365 Good morning bunny

Wed, 11 Jul 2018 23:59:19 GMT

Day 192
My outside bunny posed this morning for the Wabbit Wednesday photo shoot. She was in the yard when I rolled the trash container up to the street this morning. She didn't like the sound of the wheels rolling, but after that she was happy enough to pose for a few photos. Good bunny!

191/365 Flowers at Page Walker Arts Center

Wed, 11 Jul 2018 01:14:58 GMT

Day 191
Visited the gardens outside of the Page Walker art center this evening. Very pretty. I like this one in Black and White. Also spent some time at a small fountain in the garden area. Interesting evening.

190/365 Effegy Mounds

Tue, 10 Jul 2018 00:04:28 GMT

Day 190
Quarter dollars. 25 cent pieces. Two bits.
In 2017, as part of the America the Beautiful coin program, some quaters where struck with images of effegy mounds from Effigy Mounds National Monument in Iowa. The national monument preserves about 200 mounds built during the first millennium.

189/365 Busy night at Gooseberry's

Mon, 09 Jul 2018 00:26:54 GMT

Day 189
Today was banana pudding flavor of the day at Gooseberry's frozen custard. Mix in Reese's peanut butter cups and you have an Elvis. It was yummy. Lots of people getting custard today!

188/365 New addition to the shop

Sat, 07 Jul 2018 23:55:34 GMT

Day 188
Stopped by Woodcraft today, and got a good deal on the bandsaw I've been looking at. Decided to go for it. Had to rework the shop a bit to fit it in. I like the new layout. I'm getting a good selection of Rikon tools - Band saw, lathe, dust collector and grinder. On the lathe is some pretty wood - it is pink! It is an 'economy' blank so I don't know for sure what species it is... but I know what it will become!

187/365 New cell phone time

Sat, 07 Jul 2018 00:29:05 GMT

Day 187
Had to get a new cell phone. A couple weeks ago I ended up putting my 20 month old Pixel in the washing machine. It still works, but it isn't right. I don't know how long it will last. So time for a new one. I decided to try a mid range cell phone instead of a flagship model. The moto G6 is highly rated. Also not water proof, so I'll need to keep it out of the washing machine!

186/365 Dusty's Decor

Fri, 06 Jul 2018 00:50:49 GMT

184/365 LT Fleming Antiques, Carys premier antiques shop

Wed, 04 Jul 2018 00:35:01 GMT

Day 184
Unfortunately,
LT Fleming Antiques shop was closed by the time I got there this evening. Looks to be stuffed floor to ceiling with 'Antiques'. I certainly post more photos when I go back. Be patient, it might take me a very long time to make it back there... a VERY LONG TIME.

183/365 Hot summer nights

Tue, 03 Jul 2018 00:30:41 GMT

Hot and steamy today. Bugs are really screaming! Taking photos and slapping mosquitos, enjoying the sounds of summer.

Turn on your speakers, and listen to summer:

And one more short one:

182/365 Raw material

Mon, 02 Jul 2018 00:45:17 GMT

Day 182
Here are three blanks for future wood turning projects. 2x2x12 curly cherry for a long stem goblet, 3x3x8 cherry for something, and finally a 8x8x3 pecan blank for a larger bowl. Can't wait to see what is hidden in these blocks of wood. I'll share photos when I turn them into treasure!

181/365 Jeremiah was a bullfrog

Sun, 01 Jul 2018 01:03:13 GMT

Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Day 181
That was 1970. Now he does landscaping in Cary. Whatever makes you happy!

Sun, 24 Jun 2018 16:15:00 GMT

Day 175
Another photo from my visit of the Gardenview Horticultural Park in Strongsville OH. While visiting, a heavy rain started to fall. This was taken during the downpour - shooting from under an umbrella. I got very wet, but I also Got the Shot!

Click here for a gallery of 15 photos from my visit to Gardenview.

174/365 Gardenview Horticultural Park, part 1

Sun, 24 Jun 2018 02:53:31 GMT

Day 174
Visited the Gardenview Horticultural Park in Strongsville OH today. It was amazing. Gardenview is a 16 acre park containing many plants, trees and two ponds. It is very beautiful and a great place for a day of photography.

A gallery of 15 photos can be viewed here.

172/365 Pretty flower in a neighbor's yard

Fri, 22 Jun 2018 00:07:14 GMT

Day 172
Found a pretty flower in my neighbor's yard. Photo is a bit soft because the camera and lens went from the cool air conditioned house out into the warm humid summer air. Fogged up, which is perfect for a flower shot. Didn't last long but long enough.
Happy first day of summer and the longest day of daylight all year!

171/365 Simple Ambrosia Maple Bowl

Thu, 21 Jun 2018 00:46:07 GMT

Day 171
A second bowl off the lathe. I am not sure I'll be drawn to another piece of ambrosia maple, but it could be worse! I did enjoy turning this small bowl. Even put a small rabbit head on the bottom. I'll put an animal on every piece, and it is Wabbit Wednesday, so I put a wabbit on it.

170/365 What has a mass of 7.3476 x 10^22 Kilograms?

Wed, 20 Jun 2018 01:19:58 GMT

Tue, 19 Jun 2018 00:35:32 GMT

Day 169
Here is a photo that I promised to share back on day 166... the apple boxes. Here we have 2 "full" boxes and one "half" box. The "full" box is 20" x 12" x 8". The "half" box is, obviously, half that size! This is the primer, they are pretty much ready for the top coat of paint and then they will be put to use.

168/365 Happy Fathers Day

Mon, 18 Jun 2018 00:17:12 GMT

Day 168

I've been working on my mustache. I think I have it just right now!

It's a cardboard mustache that was part of a pizza box - Screamin' Sicillian pizza. Pizza was good. And the mustache is something special too!

167/365 Playing with color

Sat, 16 Jun 2018 23:54:39 GMT

Day 167
Simple photo, with some unusual choices on how to process the colors.

And one with more normal processing:

166/365 Next up, apple box project

Sat, 16 Jun 2018 01:34:02 GMT

Day 166
I am ready to start another project in the shop. Not a lathe project this weekend. Making apple boxes.

In this photo you can see I've got the plywood blade on the saw, with the magnetic angle finder to square it up, the cut sheets printed for the correct cuts from 3 sheets of plywood stock (Android CutList Optimizer app) and my 5 measured and cut story sticks. Story sticks let you quickly reset the saw fence for perfectly consistent cuts.

Apple boxes are used for photography and film making. I'm sure I'll have a future photo of the day with the finished boxes... so just be patient!

165/365 Flag Day

Fri, 15 Jun 2018 00:29:48 GMT

Day 165
Went out this evening looking for flags on flag day. Found 'em! Flags at the library and the arts center. Calm evening, so not much in the way of flapping of the flags, but you get what you get.

164/365 Home sweet home

Thu, 14 Jun 2018 00:35:27 GMT

Day 164
Dusty retreated to her condo when the camera came out for Wabbit Wednesday. I could still photograph her, but maybe I'll look for other bunnies next week. Hang in there Dusty, we are almost half way through the year!

163/365 Monster gardenia bush is in bloom!

Wed, 13 Jun 2018 00:52:39 GMT

Day 163
The big bush is in bloom. Smells great!

162/365 New travel mug, fresh off the lathe

Tue, 12 Jun 2018 00:54:26 GMT

Day 162
I transformed the blank shown on day 155 into a very handsome travel mug. Many firsts on this project - first staved blank, first large hollowing project, first turning with critical dimensions, and first lacquer finish. None of these are too difficult, and I'm very happy with the results of these items.

161/365 Remember all those pear blossoms?

Mon, 11 Jun 2018 00:08:14 GMT

Day 161
The pear tree is loaded with pears this year. Didn't have any last year. Lots this year. Doesn't really matter... they are the virtually tasteless. So I don't mind when the squirrels eat them all.

160/365 “Leaflets of three, leave be”

Sun, 10 Jun 2018 01:02:04 GMT

Day 160
And this is why I'm always a mess after yard work! Another patch to treat, and another, and another...
I'll be mixing up a big batch of roundup tomorrow!

159/365 The vine that ate the South

Sat, 09 Jun 2018 01:08:44 GMT

Day 159
I drove over to Lake Crabtree hoping for a nice sunset. It didn't really happen, but I didn't come away empty handed. Kudzu. Near the lake. Pretty impressive. And a bit of a sunset. And a duck. Can't have too many duck photos.

158/365 Roadside flowers

Fri, 08 Jun 2018 00:27:05 GMT

Day 158
Stopped after getting hay for Dusty to photography flowers in the middle of a traffic circle in the shopping center. Made it in and made it out! Got some pretty pics too!

157/365 Must be Wabbit Wednesday!

Thu, 07 Jun 2018 00:28:03 GMT

Day 157
Here's Dusty!

156/365 The evil Mimosa is blooming

Wed, 06 Jun 2018 01:06:58 GMT

Day 156
The Mimosa trees are blooming. They will be pretty for a couple of weeks, then they will go back to their ugly selves for the rest of the year. Messy, invasive, pest-filled trees... but they are interesting and even pretty for about 2 weeks a year.

155/365 My next turning blank

Tue, 05 Jun 2018 00:46:31 GMT

I put together an 8 stave turning blank. It is oak, cherry, and walnut. It should be fun... It will be a stainless steel lined travel mug! (I hope)
Creating the octagon turning blank was new - this is my first try at a blank like this. Turning mixed wood blanks is interesting to me, so that is what I'm experimenting with.
I hope the joints are good enough. The wall thickness at the top is going to be a little over 1/8 of an inch. Once again, I hope it holds together while I turn this down to the size and shape I need!

The last glue step below. Yesterday I glued up two 4 stave halves, and today I'm joining them together for the completed blank. Tripple clamp action to hold things while the glue dries.

154/365 More flowers, white this time around

Mon, 04 Jun 2018 00:47:59 GMT

Day 154
Here are my latest flowers - white Gardenia and white Agave blossoms. Both very pretty. The agave is pretty much down, and the gardenia is just getting started.

153/365 First bowl is done!

Sun, 03 Jun 2018 01:52:52 GMT

Day 153
I completed my first bowl on the lathe today. I think it came out very nice! I wish I knew what the light wood is... it was in the budget section of the wood working store without a label. It has some nice figure and grain. It also has some cracks that had me worried it would break up while I was working it. But it held together to make a very nice first bowl project for me. The darker wood is some cherry wood I had from other projects. I like the contrast in this bowl.

152/365 Fish and Chips

Sat, 02 Jun 2018 00:52:36 GMT

Day 152
Fish and chips Friday. First was the fish tacos. Very tasty! Grilled salmon, with cabbage, avacoados, black beans, cilantro with a sour cream, cilantro, avacado and lime sauce. Next up, wood chips! Making my first bowl. This blank was a photo of the day a while back... time to turn it into chips!

Chips everywhere!

Should be a nice bowl...

If it hangs togethere - there is a large crack in the blank... I'll see how deep it goes. Will this ruin my first bowl?

151/365 Not an Elvis

Fri, 01 Jun 2018 00:21:57 GMT

Day 151
After dinner trip to Goodberry's Frozen Custard. Flavor of the day was lemon. So my flavor of the day was vanilla, with Reeses' Peanut Butter Cups mixed in. Very good!

150/365 Wild Wabbit Wednesday

Thu, 31 May 2018 00:28:50 GMT

Day 150
Two wild wabbits on Wabbit Wednesday, and then a couple of Dusty because she was feeling left out!

149/365 New favorite shirt

Wed, 30 May 2018 00:15:17 GMT

Day 149
Received a new shirt last week... isn't it great! Now I need 6 more just like it and I can wear it everyday of the week!

148/365 Coming all together now

Tue, 29 May 2018 00:50:34 GMT

Day 148
Today I made a rack for my turning tools. Good to get them up off the workbench. I have a few holes in the lathe base for the tools I'm working with, but it is better to have them on the wall ready to use. I have room for a couple more, which I'm sure I'll get with time. I have a small oak block between centers ready to round... what will it become? I may come back off and I'll start with the other blank I glued up to make my first small bowl this week. And look there on the left... a nice little shop stool. Costco talked me into that a couple weeks ago. Better than sitting on a milk crate.

147/365 700 mile drive in the rain

Mon, 28 May 2018 01:40:58 GMT

Day 147
Drove almost 700 miles today, mostly in the rain. Not much time for beautiful photos... but I did take some with the Pixel out the windshield. Interesting, almost.

146/365 Kim's Hooding Ceremony

Sun, 27 May 2018 00:54:58 GMT

Day 146
Today's photo is from Kim's Hooding ceremony. She graduates tomorrow and becomes Dr. Kim! Congratulations!

145/365 First item off the lathe

Sat, 26 May 2018 13:23:21 GMT

Day 145
Throw back Friday. This is the very first item that came off the lathe. A nice little goblet. Not sure what wood this is... it was in the budget block section at Klingspore Wood working. I'm very happy with it!

144/365 Twilight pano

Fri, 25 May 2018 01:07:48 GMT

Day 144
A quick 4 image pano in the last light of day. It is a pretty evening, and the geese are honking and the frogs croaking. Can you hear them?

143/365 Happy Wabbit Wednesday from Gloversville Bunny Farm

Thu, 24 May 2018 00:45:07 GMT

Day 143
Look at all the Wabbits! Too bad Dusty isn't here today. Lots of friends to play with at the Gloversville Bunny Farm.

142/365 A pail of posies

Wed, 23 May 2018 02:24:11 GMT

Day 141
The little princess posed for photos today. We played in the grass, and then took some pictures. Sh e is a pretty little girl.

140/365 Circles in the creek

Sun, 20 May 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 140
Always fun to look for circular swirls in moving water. They aren't always obvious until you take a long exposure - like 15 seconds or so. This one is just down from a 5-inch waterfall!

139/365 A walk along Brandywine creek

Sun, 20 May 2018 01:31:52 GMT

Day 139
Nice walk along Brandywine creek today. Had a great time, and saw some pretty flowers. These are tiny, maybe a half an inch, but beautiful little flowers. Look at the colors. Also found some plants with the blossoms carefully hidden and shielded by large leaves above. Interesting! Add a huge tree and dogwoods blooming in the woods and it was perfect.

138/365 No animal pattern here

Fri, 18 May 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 138
This is the pen that was going to be a giraffe spotted pen. Now a nice conservative walnut pen. Probably just as well. I really like the way this one came out. Congratulations Dr. Kim! (Just don't tell her yet!!!)

137/365 A fungus among us

Thu, 17 May 2018 22:56:19 GMT

Day 137
Look at this big fungus thing on the base of my oak tree! It is pretty cool. The photo of the day! Focus stack to get all the layers sharp!

136/365 Wabbit Wednesday again already

Thu, 17 May 2018 00:02:41 GMT

Day 136
Dusty is back. She sat down by the fireplace for a few pictures today. She is a good model. Enjoy Wabbit Wednesday!

135/365 Future Giraffe spotted pen

Wed, 16 May 2018 00:31:56 GMT

Day 135
Here is a giraffe spot acrylic blank. I am going to make this into a pen for Dr. Kim. She graduates from Cornell vet school on May 26 and/or May 27th. I'm afraid it will be a giraffe striped pen since the spots are along the end... but I will give it a try, and share a pick of the pen soon.
Oh, remember the 124/365 Name that tool ... well, here it is ready for action!

UPDATE, DAY 136: Sadly, there will be no giraffe spotted pen. The blank broke apart on the lathe... Falling back to a nice walnut blank. *That* pen will be shared in a day or two...

134/365 Pineapple closeup

Tue, 15 May 2018 01:08:08 GMT

Day 134
Pineapples are cool fruits.
1. A pineapple is neither a pine nor an apple, but a fruit consisting of many berries that have grown together. 2. This also means that Pineapples are not a single fruit, but a group of berries that have fused together. The technical term for this is a “multiple fruit” or a “collective fruit”. 3. The scientific name of a pineapple is Ananas comosus. This word comes from the Tupi words “nanas” (which means pine) and “comosus” (which means tufted). Tupi is the language used by the Tupi people, who are indigenous people of Brazil.
4. Pineapples were historically very useful on long boat trips. Eating pineapple prevented scurvy, and pineapple juice mixed with sand is a great cleaning agent for boats.
Pineapples can “eat you back”! 5. Pineapples contain an enzyme called “bromelain”. This enzyme breaks down proteins in your mouth. So when you eat a pineapple, it is eating you back. Once the bromelain enters your stomach the enzymes are broken down, so you don’t need to worry about being eaten inside-out. Actually, pineapples have many medicinal qualities!

133/365 Final check on the little birds

Mon, 14 May 2018 00:20:48 GMT

Day 133
They finally look like birds! I think this will be the last check on the birds. They are starting to know what is going on, and I don't want to frighten them out of the nest too soon. I think there are 6 of them in there! At least they have a nice spacous birdhouse. Little birds, Adventure Awaits!

132/365 My first pen

Sun, 13 May 2018 00:48:07 GMT

Day 132
Made my first pen today. And my second. First one is made of Walnut, the second is colorful acrylic. I think they came out pretty nice! They are Woodriver Wall Street II Black Titanium pens.

131/365 A pocket park

Sat, 12 May 2018 00:33:28 GMT

Day 131
This is a lovely little park right on Kildaire Farm Rd near the Cary Arts Center. The focal point of the park is the large fired "Monumental Fire Sculpture" by Nina Hole. There is no parking here, so visitors must walk in from the Arts Center, or be lucky enough to live nearby. There is a bench, and this little "Pocket Park" is a nice quiet place to sit under the large trees and enjoy the flowers planted in the park.

130/365 My prize for second place Adirondack Life Magazine photo

Thu, 10 May 2018 22:11:23 GMT

Day 130
My bowl came today! I like this one. It is a very pretty color. And it has a little different shape. Very nice, I believe it was made by Sue Young in Jay NY.

129/365 Bunnies playing in the yard

Wed, 09 May 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Tue, 08 May 2018 21:11:33 GMT

Day 128

127/365 White meal

Mon, 07 May 2018 20:15:00 GMT

Day 127
Had an all white meal today! That is actually brown rice, but brown rice is still pretty white. Grilled fish, steamed cauliflower, and milk. At least there is some blue in the plate!

126/365 Future bowl

Mon, 07 May 2018 00:21:19 GMT

Day 126
I glued up a mixed wood blank to my first bowl. It is about 6 1/2 inches square, and about 3 inches think. I don't know what the light wood is... it is a budget blank from the woodworking shop. The wood that I added is some cherry I had in the shop. I wanted to do this in walnut, but I didn't have anything 3" wide. I'll be posting the after shot when this is complete. I hope it doesn't end up a mess, like coming apart at one of the glue lines. New tools - the planer and jointer - worked beautifully for this. Nice perfectly mated surfaces to glue together. Wish me luck!

125/365 Workshop with a screen door

Sun, 06 May 2018 00:50:02 GMT

Day 125
Added screen door to the shop today. I picked up two 30" sliding screen doors at Lowes today. Cut two grooves into a 2"x2" to create a track above the door for them to ride along. Seems to work fine. Keeps the bugs out and lets in the fresh air.

124/365 Name that tool

Sat, 05 May 2018 00:53:25 GMT

Day 124
New turning tool arrived today. Any thoughts on what this could be?

Do you know?

OK, I'll tell you...

It is a pen turning mandrel with a live spur saving MT2 Mandrel saver. Also has the pen barrel trimmer. Guess what I'll be making on the lathe!

123/365 Fuzzy baby birds

Fri, 04 May 2018 00:18:00 GMT

Wed, 02 May 2018 23:43:29 GMT

Day 122

Warm weather means one thing... time to put the top down and take the doors off. I'm ready for the summer look for the Wrangler.

121/365 Lathe is up and running

Wed, 02 May 2018 00:22:52 GMT

Day 121
All the prep work is complete, and the lathe is up and running. It works great. Finished my first project today! Can't share a photo of it because it is a surprise for Beth. I thought it might be a mess, but it really did come out pretty good. I'll post a photo of it eventually. Very exciting.
Up next - a screen door for the for the workshop. Too many bees and insects checking out the shop while I'm in there working...

Day 119
Went out for dinner to celebrate Matt's birthday. He choose Red Lobster. I ordered the grilled shrimp and Steak. It was vey good. Looks good too!
I took the shrimp off the wooden skewer before I decided to photograph. Bummer, that would have been more interesting!

Late afternoon at the Veterans Freedom Park. Planned this trip earlier in the day when there were nice white clouds in the sky. Just wanted the later golden light... As you can see, the clouds didn't hang around!

Day 117
I need more power in the workshop! Adding a couple more circuits to power the power tools. Here is a switch box I added and wired up today. Very exciting, isn't it! (I'm starting to stuggle on photo ideas, especially when trying to work on things around the house. Tomorrow is Saturday, so I can do better!)

I last visited this fountain when it was covered in ice! (January 6, 2018 photo) Certainly no ice today. Very pretty park in downtown Cary. HDR, Focus stacked.

And a pretty squirrel with an interesting color... gray squirrel with red squirrel coloring:

112/365 Steak on the grill

Day 112
New York Strip steak on the grill. Almost ready to take off. Thick and Juicy. Left one was marinated in Dale's sauce, so it got a little more crispy, but that is just onthe surface... I will say these were delicious - with corn on the cob and steamed spinach.

Day 111
I sat down to rest after working in the yard today, and I made sure to have my camera with me and ready to go. I waited a few minutes, and this Eastern Bluebird landed on a near by branch. He asked to have his portraits made. I agreed, and this is what we came up with. Very nice, I think. I hope he likes them as well.

Day 110
Here is my new birthday present watch! It's a beauty! I haven't worn a watch for a few years... just used my cell phone as a pocket watch. It is nice to have a beautiful new wrist watch to wear. Old school analog is the way to go!

Interesting art piece in front of the Cary Arts Center. This is made from old school lockers from the Cary Elementry school - which is now the Cary Arts Center! Very cool.
