dedmanshootn > late autumn leaf
11/05/09

"my day started well, then i got up" saw a bit of the remake of 'freaky friday' on disney channel last night before i fell asleep and this line caught my ear. kinda fits my week, sorta sideways. thought i was starting well til i threw up :-( sorry i've missed the past few days but had the nasty flu that's going around. doing a lot better but still feel more or less like i fell down a flight of stairs. made it down the stairs and did some laundry but rather than stick you with another laundry room pic i snapped one of the last trees with leaves left around my building while the sun was out. hope you're having a much better week than i've been. shall be looking and commenting as i have energy. really looking forward to that. smile at someone for no particular reason today

dedmanshootn > dave on the roots - guest daily by my sis
10/26/09

sure glad i thought of this, completely on my own and not because any of you suggested it ;-). actually it was kind of funny. when i read the comment by http://tdm.smugmug.com/ on the pic of my sis and this tree suggesting one of me would make a nice triple with her and DOD i thought "what a great idea i'll ask my sis" so i called her and left a message asking for a pic like this one. before i heard back from her i checked my e-s and earlier in the day, before i was on, she'd already seen the pic and the comment and sent me this pic because she thought it was a good idea too. so thanks for the idea and here is the result. sis's camera is about twice the mgpx, and half the size - no cam envy me ;-) , as mine so if you view larger - the bark is pretty cool i think - it'll take longer to load probably. hope you have a great weeek

dedmanshootn > sis on the roots
1000+ year old sitka spruce
quinault, wa
10/24/09

this tree is just awe inspiring. you can feel the age but also the continued vitality. i very much wanted to get a pic like the one with my late DOD (link below) but there were some very rude people deliberately blocking access so sis and i made do with a different angle. rude people are their own problem and best just ignored if at all possible i feel. sis and i were happy with the pics we got anyway, and the connection to DOD was there regardless also. glad for those of you that got a chuckle from yesterday's sign shot, can never have too many laughs in a day i think. i'm doing better again and plan to comment as much as i can while my energy holds. really looking forward to catching up. the dailies, and smug in general have such wonderful pics all the time that even a couple days leave many wonderful pics missed. hope you're having a great week-end

dedmanshootn > embossed foil wrapping paper
09/04/09

this is the exact shot from yesterday only i applied pp to get this look. amamzed myself and gvot something close to what i was trying for ;-) . i've always loved the fancy embossed wrapping paper and medalions etc so tried to create my own. smug was in maintanence mode when i came back to look and comment so didn't get to do it last night. shall hopefully have time and energy today. thanks so much for you kind comments onm yesterdays and the encouragement with my foot etc. it is a privilege to be involved with so many talented and just plain nice people. bless you all

sorry i was awol yesterday. worked despite the migraine and foot (the foot's healing just slower than when i wore a younger man's shoes and the migraine has finally broken thankfully) and totally crashed and burned when i got home. sat down after walking in and next i knew it was four hours later so i ate, returned a couple needed e-mails and then went to bed. shall hopefully catch up some on what's been shot in the dailies, didn't even flick a quick glance through yesterday, after work today - unless the same happens again. this is from back when my sis and i went to the mtns but it needed some glare spots fixed so i just got it done today for a daily. not carrying my cam right now as focusing all energy on getting back to swing of things at work. on that note i might as well have taken my cam today as my head apparently didn't come to work with the rest of me ;-) . let someone know what they mean to you today

dedmanshootn > sycamore (probably) blossoms and freshly popped leaves
04/23/08

i don't know for sure what this is but the man mowing the yard told me its a sycamore tree. the leaves literally came out of the bud with the sunshine today. i was fascinated by the fine hairs in both the leaves and blossoms. i wish a had an actual macro lens though probably wouldn't have done any better as my tripod was holding down the fort at home while i walked to do some errands
dedmanshootn > 8 petaled cherry blossom

cherry blossoms usually have 5, occasionally 6, petals so i was surprised when i noticed this one with 8.

this was shot one hour after (i was on my way back up the hill after buying groceries and noticed the sun highlighting it and just HAD to shoot again) the flash shot in number one. i just had to post two as the differences between the flash and natural light are quite amazing i think

"my day started well, then i got up" saw a bit of the remake of 'freaky friday' on disney channel last night before i fell asleep and this line caught my ear. kinda fits my week, sorta sideways. thought i was starting well til i threw up :-( sorry i've missed the past few days but had the nasty flu that's going around. doing a lot better but still feel more or less like i fell down a flight of stairs. made it down the stairs and did some laundry but rather than stick you with another laundry room pic i snapped one of the last trees with leaves left around my building while the sun was out. hope you're having a much better week than i've been. shall be looking and commenting as i have energy. really looking forward to that. smile at someone for no particular reason today
