My sweetie got me scuba lessons for Christmas. I was intending to get into scuba at 16 when I got too girl crazy so now over 35 years later I'm doing it. Had some difficulty with breathing in a too tight rented wetuit so I had to leave off the top. We went to a place in Santa Rosa, NM for the...
I took my two grandsons camping at a state park near here last August. It was too hot for me, especially breaking camp at midday in over 100 degree weather with no shade. We generally had a great time, though, fishing, water skiing and "tubing" (being pulled by the boat while on a big float)...
Have not been on here for a LONG time. Thought I'd share a pic from mid september with a view of part of Garden of The Gods with Pikes Peak and some fresh snow in the background. This is in Colorado Springs, CO.
We are starting to get some very nice, warm days with a different look to the light (in between spring snows). There was still snow on the ground in places but this was a beautiful, comfortable spring day at Garden of the Gods.
I was unwinding from long day and this one from my trip last Christmas caught my eye. A little cropping, a little boost in saturation is all I did. I know you can't see parts well but I like the mood.
I took this at Myrtle Beach, SC in Dec 2005. I kept putting off editing it as I could not figure out where to go from here. I ran this through Neat Image as it had a little noise from the low light. I also had to use Unsharp Mask and boost the saturation and brightness slightly to keep the same...
I was up in the mountains unexpectedly last Sunday and all we had was a little pocket sized Canon (S300). We still got some nice shots, it was a gorgeous mid winter day. We didn't even need a coat most of the day.

I was in South Carolina where I grew up over Christmas. Here are a couple of pictures I've had time to briefly edit.
A friends house on Lake Murray where I was staying. Cold air made the warmer water produce mist.
Two different focus on the same subject. This is Myrtle Beach midday. Oh...
Snapped this while walking the dog at the park this morning. Although there are some thin clouds behind the mountains, the denser clouds around the peak are snow blowing off after some precip last night.
I've been wanting for years to get up into the high country during a full moon when there is some snow on the peaks. I was up there last night and got a few pictures. Here are a couple. Hopefully I'll get the time to edit a few more. Taken at 3-5 second exposure with ISO manually set to 100 to...
