The Forgotten and Neglected

Posted by Mike on

What a week! I took the day off last Monday and spent most of it with my daughter who was home sick with a stomach flu. Worked the next day but caught the bug myself and spent Wednesday home from work. Spent the next two days getting caught up and then ended up working the weekend due to issues. None of that left much time for exploring with the camera.

I finally went for a walk after lunch today hoping to get some images before the “Storm of all storms – Sandy” rolls into the northeast. It was good just to get out and go for a walk but I did manage to come home with a few images. These two are from one of the apple trees in the field across the road from my house.

I received my new 35mm f/1.8 lens yesterday but was unable to get go out to play with it. I had a late day eye appointment and the pupil dilation didn’t return to normal until about 8pm. This year the sun actually hurt and I almost didn’t make it home. Luckily my son’s eyes recovered quicker than mine and he drove his old man home.

Today at work was very difficult knowing I had that lens in the bag just waiting for me. With rain in the forecast I decided to get the lawn mowed tonight before the week was lost to the rain. But, as soon as dinner was over I grabbed the camera and headed out. I found this at the park down by the canal…
