Went to see the Phillies this weekend. Temps outside with the heat index was around 115. I grabbed a few shots but it was hard to be interested in anything let alone trying to remember what I needed for the hunt because of the heat! Anyways, here's a few.....

Frosty Beer

People in uniform at work - 3 (tried to copy the tilt-shift look)

Armed Forces

Mullet Do I get extra points for finding one with a sweaty smiley face on his shirt? Thought it was funny looking.

Hot

Eggshell

I am disappointed with the way the following pics came out. My battery was dying and I forgot to bring my spare, and I had on older prescription sunglasses so manual focusing wasn't much better.

Empty * - empty moored boats

kayak

awaken - the swan on the left is just starting to awake, the next 2 pics show it's progression

Here are some I got at my cousin's wedding this past weekend

Octogenarians- My grandparents on the left are 84 and 85. On the left is my cousin's other grandmother.

Bride-my cousin and uncle

Groom

Kiss-I think I already posted a kiss, so this is a replacement

Starfish-also a replacement. The previous one was a little one on their wedding invitation. The ring bearer was supposed to carry this but I guess he didn't want to.

Reunion-My brother and sister-in-law made the trip from Canada for the wedding. It was the first time we saw them in over a year. And that is my Grandpa on the left. Haven't seen him in almost 2 years.

Hors D’oeuvres

Wedding Cake

Dance-formal-The Bride and Groom's first dance

I've taken several of a row of flags-I like this one the best.

Emergency** (don’t get in trouble!) 3 pts.

Took this while driving home for Disneyland-this was on the freeway of a fire engine finishing up fighting a brush fire. Not a great picture-I was moving at the time and it was almost dark. I will post a replacement if I can get another one.

Chowder (waterside dining*) 2 pts.

Chowder in a breadbowl with chowder on the side (in small cup just behind drink cup) You can just see the water behind the tables.
Here's another view showing the chowder better

Great photos and stories, guys. Loved the cats/mouse, balloon, illusion stories, etc. tlcmommy, love the cop shot! I'd say you could put in for emotion/expression for that one (stern!)

Judgements: all who asked I believe were ok. (Sorry, just coming off a long work stretch and trying to catch up.)

Don, love the Mt Washington/Cog Railway shots. DH and DS came close to doing it a couple of weeks ago, but didn't, so they'll enjoy those. You may recognize some of the shots I'm about to post.

Roger, just one question for you. How was it getting that goat udder shot? Any strange looks there?

AlisonUK, I thought so! I'm a big Herriot fan and I know he had them!

NatenlogansDad - awesome mullet/smiley sweat shot! (You get Honorable Mention!)

rmdavis, great lightening shot! I haven't been able to get one yet.

 

[rmdavis]

thank Pea-n-me. Lightening shots are one of the reasons I got my camera. I love the variety of each strike. I actually managed to get 4 that day but that was the one I liked the best. This was actually my first try at daytime shots.. is a lot different than the way I do them at night

 

[Pea-n-Me]

Roger, just one question for you. How was it getting that goat udder shot? Any strange looks there?

Funny you should ask , as you know there are not a lot of cows roaming around Los Angeles and I have not come across any yet in my travels. So I had it in my mind that they sometimes have a cow at Disneyland (I think she might be a Holstein) in the Woody's Roundup area. Last time we went no cow. So this time I started thinking about the cow and udders and all of a sudden thought about the goats, they have udders. So we went by early in the morning and it was not open so we went back over to Disneyland for dinner and ran back to catch the goats. Walking up they were closing the gate for the night. I am dodging and weaving around to see if I can catch a glimpse of an udder through the fence. I noticed that they were rounding up the goats to put them away for the night and they were coming close to the fence. So I am down low snapping away trying to catch something through the fence. I look up and all of these people are looking at me and . They just did not understand. Here are all of the goats leaving for the night but you could not really see any udders.
