Picture-A-Week 2022 - Week 33

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, August 15 and Sunday, August 20.

 

August 2022, week three! Summer is fading fast! Snap a few photos before it's gone.

 

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Was out on my bike on our local trail when I saw this Blue Huron only had my point & shoot so couldn't get closer & the Canada Geese.

While our Granddog Buffy did have big paws when I went with Daughter Kassi to pick her up at the rescue center, that isn't how she has earned my nickname for her. This shot was the first unblurred (by speed) shot of her since her first day home. She’s a Covid puppy and we think the lack of exposure to people other than her immediate family is what makes her very skittish around others. Trying to get a photo of her or even a pat on the head is like tracking a Sasquatch. She’ll peek from behind the couch or around the kitchen counter but vanish as soon as you point a camera or phone at her. Sitting very still and aiming the camera at where she would likely pass by finally did the trick.
