Happy Friday!

I was able to leave the office at a reasonable time yesterday and there was still some nice light.  Now to find some harvest scenes.  Problem is with the three days of rain we just had, I didn’t find any machinery in the fields on my trek home.

I did find this windmill however and since windmills are one of my favorite things to photograph I captured this image.

We see these scenes all the time but like the little bird from yesterday it’s not often that we stop and take a close look.  That’s one of the many things I love about photography.  Being able to freeze time and really look and enjoy what the camera captured.  Click on any image if you like to enjoy a larger version.

I was surprised yesterday when I read Dennis Voy’s blog.  Dennis is the owner of KMAQ AM / FM in Maquoketa.   He writes a daily news and information blog and it’s read by several thousand people every day.  He had one of my images of our little dog “Maggie” on his blog with the caption; “DAVE HAS GREAT CAMERAS AND TAKES GREAT PHOTOS.   GOOGLE HIS WEB SITE TO SEE MORE.”  I was flattered that he would post one of my pictures and give me a plug.  I hope it’s not just the camera that makes the great pictures. 🙂

This is the only combine I could find last night.  I was losing the light rapidly and he had a long way to go before he would get back my way so I settled for a butt shot.  I don’t think a butt shot of a combine is as bad as a butt shot of a bird or is it?

That’s it for today.  Hope you enjoy your Friday.  Thanks for stopping by the blog and be careful.
