Bogey & Birdie…

My 2 cats. The black one is Bogey and this is the only known pic of her. She is not very friendly and lives in the basement. I can pet her and pic her up once in a while but she likes to be on her own. She usually hides when I go into the basement. Birdie is a lap cat and a complete showoff. I have many pics of her but she is really not all that fond me taking them…

Edison And Ford place again.

They had Fords there as well. The cars I mean. This one is an old wooden truck. You would buy the chassis and build your truck body out of wood. Kinda cool. I don’t think MVA would let us get away with that today…

The prez’s ride…

Not quite like the bullet proof limos they use today. This is the actual carriage George Washington used to get around. It is on display in his garage at Mt. Vernon.

O’s fan of the day…

Here is another shot from Camden yards. They do some fan of ther day thing and this guy behind us was trying to win. they never saw him and gave it to some other lame person. I would have cropped this but my friend Tim is in the foreground and it came out pretty well so I left him…

Camden Yards…

I went to the yards for a game with the Nats on Sunday. I believe this clock has been there since the beginning which is now 20 years. I remember when they were building that place and it is hard to believe it has been 20 years. Even harder for me to believe is the H and the E light up to tell us if it is a hit or an error. In 20 years I did not know this until last week 🙂

Harper…

I shot this from the stands so it is a pretty heavy crop. I had an FD 135mm mounted on the G2 and it didn’t get close enough from where we were sitting. The  Nats lost in the 8th but it was a good game. Hotter than hell and sold out so it was sticky in there.

Washington Monument…

Grabbed this shot from the tidal basin area. It is a slightly different view than what is normally seen. OK, I am a lazy ass and should have photoshopped out the big light in the middle of the picture…. Oh well. Maybe next time 🙂

1/160th @F18

My palm tree and dead grass…

Here is a shot of one of my palm trees in Florida. The yard was dormant/dead at the time of year I took this.

Just playing…

You have to wait in line to get into the main building at Mt. Vernon. So while sitting there I decided to play around with the G2.

Another shot from Harpers Ferry WV…

I like this shot. It was taken from the other side of the tracks standing at the edge of the creek. Canon 1D with 14-40L. 1/80th at F22…
