Picture-A-Week 2024 - Week 11

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, March 11 and Sunday, March 17.

 

This week ends with Saint Patrick's Day. 

 

Maybe post pictures of yours or your neighbor's Saint Patrick's Day decorations...which I guess only applies if you or your neighbor own a bar. 

 

Anyway, get out and use your image recording device to record some images and share them with us!

 

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!

Taken yesterday from my patio. Red Tail hawk was about 75 yards away.

This is why I love the Sony RXIV for a wildlife travel camera. The long reach of the lens make this shot possible. Sure I would love to have a 600mm full frame lens on one of my A7's but I don't so 90% of the time I use my cropped RX10IV.

A little visitor to our garden this morning ...

Busy week. Again. In recent years, our family gatherings have been sheltered under our current 12' x 16' gazebo and a large 10' x 20' "party tent". We set up the tent, moved the tables and chairs and strung the lights enough times that it seemed prudent to switch to something requiring a bit less pre-party preparation. We decided to simplify. Last week, Costco delivered a thousand pounds of adult Legos for us to play with. The five boxes contained at least a tree worth of wood, hundreds of square feet of sheet metal, a bucket of brackets, and I swear, 30 lbs. of screws and bolts. It will be pretty, but I figure we will break even on the effort required to assemble this attractive shelter versus putting up the tent for every party sometime around Easter 2030.

 

Work in Progress
