An interesting day, yesterday (photography wise.) I had several Ambassador calls (Chamber) to make yesterday and I decided to take my camera along. Normally I do not because there is a photographer from the newspaper that goes along and takes a picture of the Ambassadors greeting the business owner. It is a nice feature of the Chamber.
So while others were looking around the business (waiting for the official greeting) I wandered around shooting things that interested me. One such item was this guy. I thought someone will have that in their home of office before the end of Christmas. I’ll check back with the store to see if I’m correct.
The next business we welcomed was a restaurant that was celebrating their reopening after a devastating fire a few months ago. It is a popular restaurant in Maquoketa and we all missed having it open. They did a complete refit and everything in the restaurant is brand new even this beverage sign.
I took a lot of photos at two of the places we went. I’ll show some of those in later posts (when there is nothing else to show) 🙂 The other business we attended was a new dog grooming and boarding business. Nothing to take images of there.
A good friend of mine and I went to lunch yesterday and I wanted to take a picture of a sign on the way to where we were going to eat so I took my camera along. When we were on our way back I saw this large spider web with an intricate design and I shot several images of that for my photo of the day.
I took a new road home last night. Well actually if I had stayed on this road I would have never gotten home. I was about 45 minutes longer than I normally am as a result of this “slight” detour. But it was sunny and there were some great clouds around so I wanted to see what I could find.
This is not the windmill I usually shoot but when I drove past it I knew I had to shoot it. Fortunately the road was level and there was a good line of sight because there was no shoulder to pull off on so I just put the flashers on and shot away.
There was only one vehicle that went by (an older couple) and I could just hear them saying, “Well that’s pathetic, stopped right here in the middle of the road taking a picture of a windmill.” 🙂 Yep, that would be me.
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your Saturday. I’m spending most of the day at La Casa De Pancho Restaurant photographing the interior of the restaurant and shooting some of the menu items. Be careful.
