Picture Of The Day

Hey, Bob.
The beer looks like it's posing!
I like the one before, with the dark cloud and the dramatic layering of brightness, foreground to background.

Cheers!

Thank you Russell.
Yes, I posed the beer. I had some time to kill while the food cooked on the grill, and got bored.
I just happened to have a camera nearby.

Hey all...
The following words are written and typed by my 10 year old daughter regarding the "double rainbow" picture:
===================

I Abbie saw the double rainbow and so I warned my family and (as you guys call him) Bob took the pic.

Bob, that doesn't look like the parts of St. Louis that I've seen....

Bob in St. Louis · « **Reply #3206 on:** 23 Jul 2014, 09:26 pm »

No Sir. It's a bit further south, and quite a bit west of STL.
It's Las Cruces New Mexico specifically.
A few minutes drive from Mexico, El Paso, and White Sands Missile Range.

I can now honestly say that I've been inspected by Boarder Patrol.

I thought that looked like NM.
I would highly recommend eating at Chope's in Las Cruces, if you haven't already.
Plus they have a really cool bar right next door.

Brad, thank you. That's going on "the food list" of places I want to visit.
Since we're talking about food, I made some carne asada tortilla using flank steak for the family last night.
I also stuffed some cremini mushrooms with muenster, cilantro, onion, rice and tomato.
Based on how fast it was devoured, I think I did it right.

Hi all.
Something you can see at every street corner.
Telephone spaghetti junction wires and junction box with open door
or even no door at all.
Can you imagine what happens when it's pouring rain?

Thanks Jake.

For the first time, I played with night photography last night. Here's one of the back of the house with the pool in the foreground:
(Yea, I really wish this was my house)

Nice shots, Bob. Night photography takes a little time to perfect but it's lots of fun in the end.

Man, they got skinny chickens in Las Cruces!

Beep Beep..... That's a great picture........ It's feet aren't even touching the ground.

An image that provides a stronger reminder to be thankful when our kids stumble out of bed in the morning or when tucking them in and kissing them goodnight!

Thanks guys!
Yea, those 'chickens' are real hard to catch.
I pretty much have zero clue about the night photography. I got a few neat shots, but they were by accident. Kinda.
