Today marks the day before The Fireguy's retirement dinner.
All of my "kids" will be here in the morning,
and I will not likely be on the laptop.
Here are a couple of memories in honor of his retirement (again! sorry!!!).

We are so proud of you Poppa Bear!!! Enjoy your retirement!!

The Retired Fireguy (aka Raft Guide) is a water nut!!!
Whether he is rafting or fishing he is always
searching for 'treasures'...

This is our Wall of Fame or Shame!!
Little trinkets that he has found over the years...

We had a wonderful full moon tonight!!
Capturing the moon has been a project of mine,
meaning I needed to spend time with my camera and
LEARN SOMETHING!!
I'm fairly happy with this shot...
I did not edit it at all, other than cropping~
(welcoming your suggestions/comments!)
I'm anxious to take more night shots now!!!

365*-189 Assignment; Technique ~ 50mm

This week's assignment was to capture an image at 50mm ~
A 50mm lens (or shooting a zoom lens at 50mm) is
what your NORMAL eye sees.
Not as easy as you think if you own a point & shoot camera!!
I enjoyed this assignment as it made me work at the shot,
get to know the camera and give the shot some thought!!!
My capture today was some of our local geese families
on the lake by the house.
It was a lovely bright morning and
they were just so peaceful looking;
I hope you enjoy the shot!!
