Happy Thursday!

I have three images for today.

I have really neglected my photography.  Not really intentional but just I just never seemed to find the time.

So, yesterday I had to go to the clinic to get my flu shot and I decided to spend the rest of the day with my camera.  It was a very fun morning and afternoon.

I have a tendency to look for the same type of images so I forced myself to look for other things to capture.  I still have some Herons and Egrets because I can’t pass up a chance to photograph them but I also have some different things for the coming days to post.

These images were taken by Lock & Dam #11.  I drove a lot of miles yesterday and it was good to get out and see the progress of the harvest.  Unfortunately with all the rain we’ve had I also saw a lot of damage both to crops and parks.

When I was at the river I was amazed at how dirty and muddy the river was.  I don’t ever remember it looking that bad and it was full of floating debris.

A couple of parks I went to had sustained considerable damage as well.  I didn’t photograph the damage as I wanted to focus on positive things.

I met a lot of very nice and friendly people who stopped and visited with me about my photography.  I had one of the best lunches in recent memory at a restaurant I didn’t even know existed.  So all in all, it was a fantastic day.

I shot 375 images (several duplications) but a lot of different things.  I want to get out this afternoon as well because the weather forecast is for five straight days of rain.

Enjoy your day and be careful.
