First order of business for day three was moving to the Zion campground, because 1) I don’t like spending money and 2) when we pack a tent across the country, I get very disappointed when it doesn’t get used. The campground was full, but we got there early enough that… Continue reading
As mentioned previously, we decided to get up and head out in the early AM and try our luck getting passes for The Wave at the visitor center in Kanab, UT. We made two mistakes in this adventure. We arrived at about 8:50, just before the 9:00 lottery, except that… Continue reading
Reporting on a recent trip that Janet and I took to the Grand Canyon… We flew out to Las Vegas on Saturday and, in the standard fashion, got a car and made a stop for food and other non-packed supplies, and headed toward the Grand Canyon South Rim. We didn’t… Continue reading
Makeup picture #4. I don’t even remember the name of this town. We stopped there on the return trip from our Rhine river tour. I figured since I started this whole daily photo thing with one of the first ‘good’ pictures I took, I’ll end it with one of the… Continue reading
Makeup picture #3. Another from the Artprize collection of large metal sculpture. Large: check. Metal: check. Art: sure. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 30mm, 1/320 sec, f/13, ISO 200
Makeup picture #2. Grand Tetons over Jenny Lake at the tail end of winter. I know I posted something similar before, but it’s still an awesome scene. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 10mm, 1/1250, 1/640 & 1/320 sec, f/8, ISO 100
Makeup picture #1 (WordPress tells me I missed 4 days). Badlands in the fall. Still remains one of what I would call the most surprising destinations – it doesn’t have anything that specifically interests me, but it’s just a cool place to go hike around. Miniature mountains everywhere. Picture taken… Continue reading
This one is so adjusted that it’s a bit wrong to even call it a photo, so let’s say it was inspired by a photograph. Just a tree that I passed most every day on my way to work at the Engineering Research Building at MSU. Picture taken with Canon… Continue reading
Second to last of the year (though I noticed that I did miss a few days). One that I tagged quite a while back but never posted, from a kayaking adventure to Lime Island four or so years ago. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 22mm, f/16,… Continue reading
A different kind of picture from Italy. Taken from Murano Island off of Venice where much of the fancy hand blown glassware that the place is famous for is made. I didn’t make it out to the island when I was in Italy in 2001, so it was kind of… Continue reading
