I got out and used my camera today...

Minneapolis is a beautiful city - and while some of the trees have lost their leaves we still found some good color.

 

 

Nice photos! You picked a perfect week to be here. The weather could not have been better.

Thanks. Yes, the weather was wonderful. Now that we're home we have to recover from our vacation - lots of walking.

Absolutely gorgeous day! So I took the camera out for a few hours:

 

Goose nap

 

 

Some flowers

 

 

Reflections on a pond

 

 

Scary flower!

 

 

I used my Panasonic Lumix GH-1 and a variety of lenses. I also used my tripod for the first time in ages. It was a fantastic day!!

My wife and I took a little road trip to a town called Waconia, 25 miles or so west of Mpls. Here are a couple of HDR's taken near sunset at Lake Waconia:

Flint Hills and Cattle Pens in Kansas - on our way home from Texas a few days ago. It was a great trip!:)

 

Back in "The Day" the ranchers from hundreds of miles around drove their cattle to the Cattle Pens where they were sorted and then sent all over the country.

The photos posted here are really nice. We will be on a cruise over Halloween this year so we had a photo session last night. The newest grand daughter:

JWJs, are those the cattle pens along I-35? I used to drive by them all the time on my way from Enid, OK, home to Overland Park, when I was stationed in Enid.

 

BTW, good pictures, too. The contrast between green and brown really comes out, and that pretty much sums up Kansas. :)

She's a cutie, Larry. I'd keep her, if you can. :)

Hi Nilbog.:) Yes...those cattle pens are along I-35. That was the 1st time we we took the time to stop there and it was well worth it. We were able to drive through a gate in the pen area and then drive a couple of miles down a dirt and gravel road into the heart of the Flint Hills. Great adventure.

Gorgeous - people who live near water always seem to have the best photo ops.

 

You must have been up at dawn to get the water so still. Where was this?

It was around noon near Mt Baker about 55 miles east of Bellingham, WA.

It was fairly still but the wind picked up a bit every now and then. Did not have to wait much for the water to be still.

A few Swans taken a couple of days ago on the River Stour in England. The Ports of Felixstowe & Harwich in the distance. Celebrity Constellation sailed from Harwich prior to 2010. Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas still does.

I used to live in Baton Rouge when I worked for the State of Louisiana. Now a retired state guy.

 

Your picture looks like it was taken on I-10 near College Drive.

The Budweiser Clydesdales came to Kansas City yesterday. They offered some great photo opps, paraded around the parking lot and then delivered beer to several bars and taverns in the area. What fun! It was late afternoon, lots of shadows and tons of people ~ many trying to get their best shots ~ a real challenge for taking pictures.

Great pics, JWJs! :) Always loved the Clydesdales and Bud. :)

We marched in the Night of Dread Parade this evening. Lots of fun and a great night for it.
