Well,  I guess it’s time to say goodbye to August, photoadayAug has been fun. The Collage is made from MCP Actions free timeline template.

I couldn’t decide so we have two for the “food” photo.

 

I spotted this bear in a purse and naturally I stopped and asked if I could take a picture. She didn’t mind at all but felt the need to explain that she was baby sitting her granddaughter’s bear for a few minutes.

Ned Nott was shot and Sam Shott was not.
So it is better to be Shott than Nott.
Some say Nott was not shot.
But Shott says he shot Nott.
Either the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot,
Or Nott was shot.
If the shot Shott shot shot Nott, Nott was shot.
But if the shot Shott shot shot Shott,
Then Shott was shot, not Nott.
However, the shot Shott shot shot not Shott, but Nott.

 

Sorry, that came to mind when I saw those bullet holes and I still wonder about Ned. Ya know, who he might’ve been, what he might’ve done in his life. And whether Sam actually shot Nott or not. ok, I’ll stop.

 

I’ve been thinking about crowd surfing and doing a little research. I got some tips about how to surf.

Dress for it 

Get up

Lean back

Relax –yeah right! When you know you have a pretty good chance at being dropped?

then I got to this: If you're a member of the audience and you'd rather not help someone crowd surf, especially if you're concerned about someone kicking you or falling on you, stick to the rear or the side edges of the crowd, where surfers don't generally go.

On second thought I don’t think I’ll be doing any crowd surfing.

 

 

One person likes cameras better than guitars, another regards them all the same.

One person regards one day above another, another regards every day alike. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.

I am fully convinced about that one on the top left.

 

 

 

Just pretend that says 24 not 27  It must’ve been all that poison ivy growing along the path that distracted me.

 

 

I re-found the bulb mode on my camera! Actually I had to go read about how to find it again. Those lightning photos  that I stood out in the rain for and never did get one night were my motivator to figure out why my bulb option disappeared.

So here’s what I learned, if you are on anything other than manual you won’t get to bulb. I have been shooting on Aperture priority a lot, well ever since the deer crossed the road and all the close shots were too dark.

 

Greek hotdogs, baked beans and homemade “cider”.

 

Forget the clock I didn’t have time I was busy looking under leaves in the garden.

Sarah made this card for me, she’s so talented and creative. On top of that her kids are all a lot of fun to hang out with.

 

She’s so sweet. I love getting home made cards.

I got caught in a thunder storm on my way into the store for salt and when I came out  I had a rainbow landing in the street in front of me! On my way home I watched the sunset in the west and in the east I had a moonrise! What a day.

 

 

Sometimes one-dish supper is the way to go.

 

This was not taken on a toilet seat cover even though it kinda looks like it.

 

This is not a public toilet, well actually it is. Hey, the clue for the day was somewhere you sat, what can I say?

 

I tried very hard to find logos that are not words. How many of these  can you identify?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There’re lots of way to be messy and I’m just naturally good at it. This was probably the easiest thing to find to take a picture of.

 

The passion flowers smell so good! They aren’t the best for cut flowers but I picked them anyway. 

 

 

Dinosaur Band-Aids can cure anything. Put one on, give it a few minutes and you’ll be all better. 

 

 

 

Here’s the PhotoADayAug  list if you want to do it with me for the rest of August. If you are looking for a little motivation to get out and shoot this is a lot of fun. It's kinda like a scavenger hunt.
