Kati sent me a colorful assortment of images. She wrote: "‘What is an artsy photog to do when it's too scorching hot outside to be traipsing around with a camera to capture a photo of anything besides a haboob ..... find glitz and glitter at air-conditioned Antique Gatherings!" What a great idea!
Am so glad you kept your cool. Thanks so much for sharing. You gave us a fresh idea on how to beat the heat and still click away.
Well, the uber fabulous team of Dave and Karen have shared some photos from their recent trip to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The reason for the trip was the celebration of Dave finally reaching 'old dude' status! He is now old enough to qualify for the much sought after Senior Pass, officially known as 'America the Beautiful', the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass.
You are golden now, old dude!!
Wow!
Oh my!
Love it!
Oh yes!
I think Dave was given a sunset angel for his birthday!
I love getting photos from friends that can be shared. The efforts that are put into getting the images ready and sending them are appreciated.
This wonderful 1.8 mile round trip hike starts at the Hot Springs which is at the end of about a 12 mile drive off Highway 101. The waterfall is part of the Olympic National Park. Once again we were thrilled to hike in a temperate rain forest.
I think we exhausted every little, and big, angle for photographing this waterfall. We still found items along the trail that we thought were photo-worthy.
Looking downstream from the waterfall.
We don't know what this structure was for. There was no sign to indicate its use. It was common to see 'shelters' built along many of the hikes.
This couple walked past me and then turned around to apologize. I told them, "Stand still and you can be an important part of the image and add scale to how big and awesome this place is." They smiled and agreed to be a part of the scene.
There were several small streams along the path.
Spooky!!
