Hooked on You

Posted by Mike on July 28, 2013

This was the project last weekend – new clothes poles in the back yard. Last spring (2012) I had to pull up the old clothes poles to make room to dig a new line from the well. When I went to re-plant them one of them snapped in half. I suppose they were due to be replaced anyway, they were here when I bought the house 19 years ago.

This year was the year to get the new ones into the ground. I dug the holes and then the water came. And it came. And it came. It wasn’t until last weekend that the ground finally was dry enough for me to get to work. Everything turned out well. Clothes were dried this weekend and nothing fell over.

I thought I would try a new project – images using the square format. I liked how my Monochrome Winter project went this year and I needed something to keep me exploring outside my comfort zone of landscapes. Hopefully I’ll learn something along the way…

Friday Themes

Posted by Mike on June 7, 2013

Over on Google+ there are a wide variety of themes to which a photographer can contribute images. I usually find myself forgetting about most of them or when I do capture an image that will fit a theme I forget to post on the particular day of the theme. In reality there are only a few to which I consistently contribute. I find I have no short supply of images for Powerline Friday and Fire Hydrant Friday. Here are my contributions for today…
