Clouds over Piqua and the Great Miami River
The weather has shifted and is more ‘fall’ like in western Ohio this week. I took this after a day of heavy rain. I could not help looking at the clouds and think about the people in Texas. Hurricane Harvey has been so destructive, and now we have another big storm in the Atlantic. In the end, we can talk about the weather, but it’s really all about the people. Support them in whatever way you can!
“Photos bring back memories and memories bring back feelings” ~unknown
Photography can be fun, but memories are priceless. When I look at photos of my grandchildren, such as this one, I feel the photo .. and the memories that it bring back. I have thousands of photos, but photos such as this one are priceless.
This is my youngest granddaughter. I have 6 of them, and I love every one of them. Photography is an extension of the memory, and I love how it makes me feel. You don’t have to be an expert to take a picture that will melt the heart! Enjoy!!!
Neotibicen linne (Cicada)
I took this with my iphone while on a walk last Sunday. The fence post in front of a neighbors home had a dozen or so of these empty shells. I think they were all on the corners, just like these two. Nature is kind of amazing.
Bee @ work .. Charleston Falls Preserve
Teresa and I took a long walk yesterday through Charleston Falls Perserve. We were sad that the falls were basically dry, but we decided to walk anyway. Near Cedar Pond (as they call it), we came across a large number of bees that were busy at work. Yes, it was just weeds ... but the bees didn’t care. They were harvesting. We had a great walk, and enjoyed what Mother Nature shared with us.
SR-71 Blackbird
I spent a couple of hours at the National Museum of the US Airforce in Dayton, Ohio. I took a few picture, but this is my favorite. I have always been a big fan of the SR-71 Blackbird. It’s an amazing machine. It was not just cool to look at, it was fast. One of my favorite stories as told by Brian Shoul, one of the few men to pilot the SR-71, is about it’s blazing speed: LA Speed Check. Enjoy.
