Interesting choice of a topic for today’s post.  In HR terms that usually means that someone was let go.  What it really means today is that again because of my schedule and the crappy weather I haven’t been able to do any shooting,  So I’ve gone back into the 2010 archives to find some images that for one reason or another I passed over.

I decided to post in B&W today with a touch of color to keep it interesting.  I was messing around with some images last night after I got home from Cedar Rapids and just happen to come across this image of the Maquoketa River at flood stage.  This is main bridge on the Hurstville Road that comes into Maquoketa.   You can see how close the water is to the lower edge of the bridge.  Normally the water would be 10-14 feet below the bridge.

This image is from our Bellevue shoot.  It is a stairway that climbs from river level up to street level in Bellevue.  I remember when I made this image I was drawn to the unique pattern the sun made on stairs and the lines converging to the bottom.  Okay I can’t remember what I was thinking five minutes ago but it sounded artsy didn’t it.  🙂

Finally this image also from the Bellevue shoot.  Poor Jeanne and Steve have to just tolerate Becki and I while we’re shooting.  I liked this image of them sitting by the picnic table waiting for us to finish shooting the particular area we were in.  This was a wonderful day last Summer.  We will certainly go back to Bellevue this Summer and do some more shooting.

Well that’s it for today.  Have a great Friday.    My friend Andreas got some great Eagle pictures last weekend.  I don’t know if it’s too late to catch any down by the river tomorrow but I think I’ll get it a shot.  NO pun intended.

Thanks for stopping by.  Be careful.
