dedmanshootn > mallard ice cream
07/05/08

this fine ice cream shop is just a few blocks from my apartment, right downtown. they make their own from fresh ingredients. DOD is the ice cream fiend in the family and when he'd get the urge while visiting this is where we'd go. i really like this painting by their emergency exit
dedmanshootn > rainy day hedge blossoms
07/04/08

happy independence day to all my fellow americans, and happy friday/saturday to all the rest of you. it was my very fav weather today; gray, overcast, drizzling rain and about 55F. perfect for wiping pollen and other irritants out of the air and remaing cool. had to use a flash for this as light was so low. this hedge is right behind the bus stop nearest my apartment and while it is very beautiful and lush it is also one of my allergic irritants tho it was no problem today. i thought these were beautiful with the water on them and shot with very low flash to try to keep as much of the luster of the 'wet look' as possible. for scale the leaf at the bottom is about 1.5 inches long. for you who enjoy the bus paint jobs i also captured another one of them i've been wanting to -

dedmanshootn > 'music glamour' petunias
07/03/08

there are huge baskets of these hanging from many lampposts in fairhaven, which was a seperate settlement over 100 years ago but is part of bellingham now tho retaining its own distinct flavor, where i usually go to the library and do my grocery shopping and i just had to try to capture them, especially after i noticed the beautiful blue 'eyes' inside them. used the flash for fill here as this is the lower side of a basket over three feet across and was shadowed
dedmanshootn > sunny daisy
07/02/08

forgot to wish a happy canada day to all the canadians yesterday, would like to have some excuse but the truth is my memory just slipped a cog. belated happy canada day anyway. there's a huge bunch of these on my way to the bus stop which brighten my day when i see them. don't know what it is about daisies but they always seem happy to me. hope this brightens your day
dedmanshootn > chattin in the china cabinet
07/01/08

these fine ladies are in my sis and b-i-l's china cabinet and just begged to have their photo taken, so i was happy to oblige. back home tho tired right out. looking forward to catching up on the banquet of photos i've missed tho probably won't be able to stuff myself like a christmas goose as i've many other things need doing also. just have to work on patience i guess. if virtues were more fun i reckon more people would practice them ;-)
dedmanshootn > life is so glorious!

"hard times don't bother me, life is so glorius.
 so you try and fail at first, try again avoid the worst...
 life is one experience, that only a fool could refuse."
 from 'hard times don't bother me' by joe higgs
06/30/08

this is my sis's camera bag. she designed and sewed the decoration, taking the line from the joe higgs song and the lion from an ethiopian coin. it is a sentiment i completely agree with! had dinner with DOD and fam as planned. DOD is getting used to his electric wheelchair and new breathing assist device and is in his usual good spirits, despite being tired and unable to leave the house. we thank God for each extra day we get... life is SO glorious
dedmanshootn > lightin em up
06/29/08

the car show was terrific and i can't wait to see whether anything i shot turns out close to what i was trying for. was very hot (for seattle anyway at about 87F) and humid and sis and i started a bit later than we thought we might so i missed about the last three blocks (out of 22) but caught this guy showing off for the people partying in the beer garden where my sis's boss and his friends were the band
dedmanshootn > pollinating the blackberries
06/28/08

caught this while taking a quick breath of fresh air out back at work. was going to just shoot the blackberry flowers because they're one of my fav's and when i got close this bumble was busy working so i got it too, on the first try luckily because half a second after i snapped it zipped off
dedmanshootn > bogie, a legend in his own mind -
"the noble dog, faithful and true, man's best friend. here i am keeping watch (and looking darn fine if i do say so myself) and am i appreciated? do i get any treats? is anyone taking my picture? ... oh...yeah...um...ok...so i got it pretty good. a fine fellow like me deserves it!"
06/27/08

this was actually shot at the same time as yesterday's dp but i liked it so well and was so down with allergies i decided to 'cheat'. i'll probably be able to post something but won't be commenting much if at all this weekend. i'm going down to shoot at the greenwood car show saturday, if you're in the greater seattle area its an event well worth making time and effort to take in - see info at the link below, and visiting my sis, b-i-l and DOD and his wife (and hopefully some extended fam and friends). hope everyone has a great weekend and some wonderful things to photograph.

dedmanshootn > bbd
06/26/08

hershy wanted a 'happy' pic after yesterdays 'depression' (which was foil tho not b&w just shot with contrast and brightness set very low and less than ambient flash, i wanted it even duller in tone and the darks darker and had tried to create a hint of prison bars with the not quite there vertical lines but ...) so i took advantage of a quick break at work today to snap this. those of you familiar with my dailies will recognize the little boss who was happy to see her friends as she's been having a very tough week. she actually had to go to the e-room sunday for treatment for a severe allergy attack and had to miss swimming lessons all this week as a result. the bbd is not for bigger better deal but for brianna, bogie and dan. dan is a good friend and customer of ours who usually brings bogie for a visit when he comes for lunch. bogie is a delightful and well behaved patterdale terrier and brianna just adores him. bogie is a pro at mooching treats from my boss too
dedmanshootn > depression
06/25/08

i'm not depressed, at least no more than usual ;-), but i decided to try one of those 'concept' type shots to see what i could come up with. talked with a friend on the phone who was feeling down, both of us felt much better after a good visit as friends so often do, so gave it a whirl for my concept
dedmanshootn > mountain laurel blossoms
06/24/08

this is per request of angele who wanted to see the flowers when they opened from my 'hairy buds' dp several days ago. knowing what to call this plant is thanks to karinaboese. had a heck of a time getting this posted. uploaded fine then when i tried to access the gallery to put on title etc puter crashed. i rebooted 3 times but couldn't open any gallery on smugmug tho e-mail etc worked fine. did a bunch  of other things and decided to reboot and try one more time. got lucky. my puter is betting balkier and balkier and unfortunately i can't afford to fix or replace it. if worst comes to worst i can at least e- someone from the library's puters to let y'all know what's happened but if this puter wipes out i won't be able to upload any longer. hopefully it won't come to that. this is rambling on and on because i got frustrated and stayed up too long, tho at least i use punctuation unlike SOME people, dita ;-), but i'll wrap up now. hope you are having a much better day than mine is so far
dedmanshootn > honeybee on blue
06/23/08

don't know what this bush and flower are but i sure like them. apparently the insects do too. i saw at least five different types counting this gal. i've been hearing that the bees are dying/disappearing and i can believe it as this is the first honeybee i've seen this year tho i've seen many types of wasp and bumbles. i thought it cool how bright yellow and bulging the pollen she's carrying is. i don't have macro and was too lazy to carry my tripod, even tho i got a fine new shoulder case for it from my fam, so this is just my 18-55mm zoom hand-held. you who know flowers and plants, who have time and inclination, do you know what this is

dedmanshootn > late june dogwood
06/22/08

dogwoods are usually long gone by now here. maybe it was the grey very cool wet spring but whatever this beautiful little tree is blooming beautifully now by my fav fairhaven library. thanks so much for your kind comments and encouragement. my 'sorry' of yesterday was more int he way of a lament than an apology. i don't view the dailies as any sort of obligation or burden, more a banquet to be savored and, like all good things, shared for the greatset pleasure. i regret that i've been unable to fully share and enjoy tho i am just happy to be alive and in enough of condition to be able to participate at all. bless you all again (and again and again and ...)
dedmanshootn > frisbee with style
06/21/08

sorry i haven't been on at all. DOD is out of the hospital for which we're grateful but that isn't why i haven't been on. please don't worry about me as its just some health issues that are virtually old hat for me by now. Lord willing i'll be back to shooting and posting now at least though i probably won't be able to catch the days i've missed of all your fine photos. shall be participating to the best of my ability and am really looking forward to seeing what's being shot out there. we were very slow at work so the little boss and i went out for some fun. i'm a little stiff and slow for such but we have a good time anyway. thank you all once again for your kind thoughts, comments and prayers from DOD and i. bless you for it
