I have not been out shooting at all the past 2 weeks, except for the Yankee game. That is probably the longest I've gone without doing any serious shooting. I've been looking through some of the archives and not too much has caught my eye to post. Most are variations on themes I've already posted. I usually keep still life photos for posting in the winter when I seem to run out of shots more often than other times of the year, but this was there and so I post it now.

This afternoon Rob goes back to GA and will deploy later this fall to Iraq. We had a nice couple of weeks with him and it was wonderful to have him home. We will go down to see him once more right before he deploys. That is a trip I dread. Not that I don't want to see him, I just remember how hard it was to say goodbye the last time he deployed. It just sucks.

The cooler days and wonderful cool almost chilly evenings are making me think of the season to come so I decided to post an image from the archives.

This is another shot of the Heron from a few days ago. Those tiny specs in the air are bugs.
