My final attempt at patterns for the month. I reckon these few shots that came out well would look great on the wall in a lodge or a hunting club or a man cave. I guess I'll have to wait to find out.

sunflowers in the sunshine
I had some time to kill and my camera in hand. Bicyclists were sparse, and my battery life dwindled. At least I found some sunflowers!

antique cream pies, too?
My hunt for an antique trunk brought me to Leesburg. I had to wait for this store to open; luckily, they had a few antiques setting outside. I had my camera and couldn't resist.

summersville lake
Last one from my West Virginia rambling. An afternoon of swimming, climbing, and photogging. Can't get much better than that!

edited sunset
I used Picasa's focal black and white to leave the sky's color and quiet the rest of the frame.

sunset at rocky top
We got back from Pies & Pints to find a crazy sunset occurring. I played with the settings with each shot. Composing a well-lit sunset picture was pretty tough. Practice makes perfect, I guess. I think this is the best one.

After a hot day hiking and climbing, we went bouldering down by the river's edge at Hawk's Nest.

on the tracks
We missed the turnoff for the cliff line and wound up near the water's edge instead. It was mighty foggy and pea soup humid.

h street country club
We noticed that all the light fixtures in the second floor bar were made of old toasters, coffee pots, and other shiny small appliances. Someone's been reading ReadyMade magazine. H Street Country Club is a converted rowhouse in Northeast with a nine-hole minigolf course in it. It rocked.

chili half smoke
The food goes fast; the workers move faster. There will be a line; don't sweat it. If you're looking for health food, go somewhere else!

trying to catch a bumblebee
Chasing around bumblebees in flowerbeds with a lens on manual focus is pretty tough. I should probably be more Zen-like in waiting, but that's hard to do when it's raining. Good consolation prize, no?

The family tells me that this now-middle school has one more year in its current capacity. Afterwards, it is to become an assisted living facility or senior citizen apartments.

u street neon
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." I wasn't in love with this picture when I first saw it on my computer screen. She made me reconsider. It's going on the wall after all.
