keep your cool {208/365}

I received an invite today from the talented Maureen to join their new flickr group, an extension of  their cool new site, Mortal Muses.

(or is it the other way around - Muses is an extension of their flickr group?)

(well now I'm confused)

(like that's new)

Their theme for this week is "stay cool"

keep your cool 208/365

You could pretend that's an ice cold beer if you prefer, but the pellegrino bottle is prettier ;)

Fun stuff, Maureen ... thanks for the invite!

At this rate with all of the groups I've joined, if you ever hear me complain of a lack of ideas or inspiration feel free to slap me in the head, okay?

PS - 100mm, not 50 ;)

summer fun {206/365}

Last night, I walked over to the little midway that's set up next to the Ribfest going on here in town.  I had my mind set on ideas for the Sunday Creative prompt "traditions" and summer midways are nothing but traditional.  They're a staple.

As usual, my brain went pffffttttt in thinking that I had until today to get my post up.

Nope.  Last night.

Whatever.

That's me ... day late and a dollar short :p

Anyways ...

I took these daytime ones today

and this one is my shot for today

candied apples 206/365

These are from last night, playing around with long exposure without a tripod
(again ... brain ... none)

from day 206

but they didn't turn out too bad.

And then look at this fun shot that showed up!

take me to your leader

Repeat after me .... 'take me to your leader' (use zombie voice).

Cracks me up :)

(larger, on black, here if you're on the new flickr)

So yeah ... Sunday Creative - last week's edition :)

I should probably start doing these a little earlier in the week. Right?

Maybe.

jump! {205/365}

Our local skate park had a competition today ...

day 205

Total fun, even though they had to keep stopping every time it started to rain (but it made for some awesome reflections on those last ones).

I'm not the best at action shots at all, so this was good practice.

My favourite shot of the bunch though was this next one, that isn't even an action shot at all and wouldn't you know it? it came out blurry. There's only the one shot, and I don't even remember taking it.

So I went with the blur and grunged him up and kept him :)

don't sleep 205/365

(besides, everything looks better web-sized, thankfully)

He looks like a rolling ad.  Coolest shirt ever :)

In other news, I just got home around an hour ago from the ribfest down the street and I'm anxious to see what's on my camera from that.  There was a midway.  Rides.  Flashy shiny lights.

And a full moon.

I experimented a lot, so here's hoping there's something worth keeping.

And you know where I'll be tomorrow for some daytime shots ;)

dangerous fence friday {204/365}

I totally had fun processing these.  It's not often I get to bring on the grunge.  And they begged for black and white :)
