ARN.... is a slacker


so... I'm falling behind on week 2!!!
Prepping for my commercial check ride has me forgetting to do things like use the camera I carry around in my flight bag!
I kind of want to cheat and put the construction pic from a few weeks back as "growth", but I will stick to it and get my growth shot posted asap. I have 2 good ideas for it, I'll not give it away,and I promise I'll make it distinctly different than my "trees" picture!

Growth - MDV

This was taken on my phone as I was getting gas this morning.  I wish I would have had some zoom but it still looks ok.

Edit:  The more I look at it the more this picture lets me down.  From the top of the hill Pikes Peak looked like it was "growing" out of the clouds.  Here it looks like I a framing the mountain with the trees.  Not quite what I intended.  I guess this might be a good one for this weeks challenge of trees.


No joke these were the camera settings.  Crazy digital camera phones.

Work- ARN

Well, a guy from the phone company was working in one of the connection boxes, and as I walked by I saw this....


In hindsight I think a better picture would have been him eating lunch, but live and learn.

Work - MDV

I am so original.  I took this idea from strobist.com and David Hobby but I am not the first to attempt this in their own home too.
