Nature – Page 2 – Running In My Head

Despite the flood of papers threatening to overwhelm my desk in these last weeks of school, I did manage to take a few photographs this week.

This week was Teacher Appreciation Week. This is what I received:

Then, my sister-in-law bought yet another car in her seemingly never ending quest to find the perfect used car. The newest candidate is this 1996 soft-top Mustang convertible:

I attempted to capture the morning fog, inspired by Eclectic Odds n Sods current theme of “Momentarily:”

This week was also the school’s Junior/Senior Banquet – one event I honestly don’t mind chaperoning. Not only did I find a snazzy new silver bow tie (on sale!), but I also found some angry jewelry while my wife looked for something to match her dress:

We were invited by several of the students to come take pictures with them down by the river, which coincided with the heraldric winds of Tropical Storm Ana:

This weekend I was finally able to finish typing my exams and exam reviews. Smokey lent moral support.

Don’t forget to follow me on:

Facebook – where I share news stories, articles from other blogs, and various and sundry miscellany that happens to catch my eye. It’s stuff you won’t see here! Well, mostly.

Instagram – where I show you my Life in Motion and share quotes and such. The widget only shows my last three photographs – don’t you want to see them all?

Twitter – where you can see my thoughts in 140 characters or less. Also, funny retweets.

I actually took quite a few photographs this week, mostly for the upcoming yearbook.

Nevertheless, I did take a few I can share with you. I’ve taken the liberty of arranging them into a sort of photographic story.

Is there a storm coming?

Yes. Yes there is.

Good thing I put gas in the car!

And what wonderful numbers, too!

It’s still sunny on the drive home.

And no, I didn’t take this while I was driving.

I was in the car, but I was in park.

No one was behind be, either.

It’s a perfect night to make some cheesecake!

Maybe we’ll go out to eat instead.

You will overcome great obstacles to achieve success.

It happens to the best of us: we begin a post, save it as a draft, and then completely forget to publish it. The best laid plans of mice and men, and all that . . . Two weeks ago I’d planned to publish a gallery of my favorite photographs from Photography 101. I’d chosen my pictures, placed them in some semblance of order, and thought everything was taken care of. Imagine my surprise when I checked my drafts to see what was close to being finished so I could publish something today (tomorrow, at the latest) only to see my already-done photo gallery still unpublished and seemingly screaming “Pick Me! Pick Me!”

So, without further ado, here’s a few of my favorite photographs from Photography 101:

I took these pictures while wandering around this weekend.

The local historic site where my wife works had open grounds in connection with a home and garden show, making for some opportunities I hadn’t had before.
