Strip pit sunset

Please enlarge these for better viewing!

I have a ga-zillion sunset pictures from the strip pit area but I think these are my favorites. And they are exactly how it looked. Usually my pictures are not quite the way it looked...but they usually are different in a way that is almost better than the how it really was. Can you make sense out of that last sentence?
Anyway, these are not altered in any way....except to add my copyright/name. They are exactly as they came out of the camera.

From sunsets on August 25

I watched this spider weaving its web for about 10 or 15 minutes, back and forth across that top run several times. I would love to know how it accomplished its first run. And it had done did one or two of the runs down...so I didn't see it start anything. Nor did I see it finish. But it was interesting to watch. I don't want a spider on me, at all, at any time. However, I still don't especially like to hurt them.

Sky Watch Friday

I could hardly wait for this day to roll around...I know these photos are not picture perfect, but I still was really pleased with what I captured. If you want to join the fun, check in at the Sky Watch Blog. If you don't want to join, I highly recommend going and visiting some of the links posted.

This will be posted a little bit early...I am hoping to be here to check and make sure that the photos enlarge. Last week, I did not realize till half way through that one of my photos would not enlarge. After Sky Watch is over with, I will post some more from Insect Alley.

Photos from the road less photographed...

I am not sure how often I will post for the next bit...but I find myself with a little bit of time here and there. I am in the process of trying to decide on what kind of laptop to purchase so if you have one that you are really pleased with, feel free to tell me in the comment section. Or if you know a good graphics card, I wuld be happy to know that. This computer slows down soooo much when I am in the mood to play with my photos--trying different filters, etc.

I have had some kind of flu or allergies that have really had me down physically--just slowed me down so bad. Then there are three of us trying to use one computer so I am either going to just post when I find a minute or else try to develope some new habbits.

Anyway, some of you may recognize these photos from my other blog...I am going to put my favorites from it on here because I think they are worthy of a bigger audience than it had. So click and enlarge and I hope you enjoy them.

Sky Watch Friday--yippee!!!!

These are from my slides...the first two are actually close to what I thought I would be getting when I scanned them. I adjusted the fill lighting to get these. The last two are just how they scanned. I don't think they look real.
