Amazing Sunrise

Happy Saturday.  A quick post this morning.  The image above was taken with my little point and shoot camera that I always keep in the car.  It really doesn’t do justice to what I saw yesterday morning on my way to work.  I had an early morning meeting that I was doing the presenting so being a little late was not an option.  The sunrise had this amazing shaft of light coming from the top of the rising sun extending far up in the sky.  It was very pronounced and an amazing sight to witness.

Unfortunately the poor quality of the lens just does not let me show you what I saw, however as I reasoned in my mind, it was better to stop on the shoulder and grab the image then not having it at all.   So this is what I have for you today.

Snowy day in our area today.  No flying today (maybe tomorrow), hope I can find some eagles fishing by the river.

Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your day and be careful it is going to be slick today. 🙂

Dave and Lois

We made it to the weekend.  It will be a busy weekend for me as I have several things to prepare for our big company wide meeting on Monday.

Last night Jeanne and I had the pleasure of having dinner with our dear Friends, Dave and Lois.  We ate at Tony Roma’s at the Grand Harbor Resort by the Mississippi.  Tony Roma’s is one of my favorite places to eat in Dubuque and usually the food is excellent (although a bit pricey) and the service has always been reasonable.  Last night the dinner was as usual very tasty.  I had my usual Fillet Medallions and half a rack of baby back ribs.  🙂

We had a great server by the name of Maria who originates from Peru.  She is gifted with a wonderful personality and made the experience a  lot of fun.  I only took my point and shoot camera with me last night as I didn’t want to have to worry about my DSLR.  It is a decent camera outside in the sunlight but bring it inside where it needs the flash and it almost worthless.

I took ten images last night and this one was the only was that was in focus.  After spending about 45 minutes in Photoshop (no kidding it took that long) I was able to make a reasonable image of our friends.

So it was a fun evening and a nice way to end a busy work week.

Oh by the way.  I just learned that this is my 800th post, since I started this blog in 2010. That’s a lot of bloviating! 🙂

Hope you enjoy your weekend.  Thanks for stopping by the blog and be careful.
