Pony Pasture View

Richmond

Jun 302010

So glad everyone liked my silly photo from yesterday. I thought you would enjoy it as much as I did LOL. I really still have no idea why someone would even think to grant a porta-potty to the city for the summer. Oh well, it does take all kinds now doesn’t it?

On to more serious pictures from our venture to Pony Pasture Park. Here is a shot upstream of the rapids. Usually the water is higher and rushing but with us only having rain once in 3 weeks the river levels are very low. I must say I really enjoy visiting here, just sitting and staring at the rocks is so enjoyable.

This was converted to HDR using 3 hand held raw shots and then shot (raw), merged using Photomatix HDR software. Love the highlights the software gave it. Thoughts??

Tomorrow I will share another view of the river. I hope everyone has a great evening. Take care.

Since it’s 102+ degrees here today. This record heat spell is suppose to last another few days and everyone is wilting and trying to come up with ways to avoid the heat so I thought I would share this Dandelion “snowball” with everyone. For some reason it looks “cool” to me.

Hope everyone is staying cool and safe…. Take care..

Echinacia Flowers

These gorgeous Echinacia flowers bloomed a few weeks ago outside my office building and for days I said I was going to photograph them as I had really taken a liking to them. I finally remembered as I was leaving the building the other night to leave out the other door so I could shoot them and thought I would share them with all of you.

Aren’t the pretty? I’ve added them to my fall bulb shopping list to plant near our deck in the backyard of our house as I really enjoy just looking at them. According to what I have read, they are very low maintenance which is just what I need.

Hope everyone is having a great week and staying cool. We are suppose to hit 104 tomorrow (eeeekkk). I can’t imagine what July and August will bring us.. Take care!
