Bench Monday: Kopying The Kaptain At The Lake Edition (151/365v2010:5/31)
Happy Memorial Day to my fellow Americans. Pause to reflect on all those who have sacrified for us.
Memorial Weekend officially starts the summer in the U.S., and that means all the "seasonal" attractions are open until Labor Day. For me, the one thing that I most look forward to are the swimming areas in lakes opening. I don't like swimming in a pool and I'm scared of being in the ocean, so when I want to go for a swim, I go to a lake.
This picture here was taken at one such place: the Fair Play beach on Hartwell Lake off of I-85.
So what's with the bunny ears, crotch grab and banana peel in the air? Well, today's theme in The Rogue Players is to copy Kaptain Kobold. It was my idea since KK gave me a 2nd day in TRP to help fill up the month's list. I went all the way back to last April for my inspiration today. :)
This was a LOT of work, so I hope the Kaptain appreciates it. For starters, it was a rainy morning, and since it was raining, I brought my secondary camera (the Kodak) so the Canon wouldn't get messed up. I drove 45 minutes in steady rain, and when I arrived at the beach, it was still raining, so I just waited it out underneath a picnic shelter. Eventually I got tired of waiting and just planned on doing my picture under an umbrella... but my camera broke!! The battery door was cracked when I got it and that crack finally gave in and completely fell apart. So I had to drive 45 minutes back home, in the rain, get my Canon, and drive 45 minutes back to Fair Play (yes, in the rain). When I got back, there was a break in the rain, so I quickly set up and took a few takes before it started to rain again (and I was lucky that I had my umbrella already open and the Canon wasn't messed up as I made a run for it). I did a little tweaking with the coloring since it was all cloudy and icky. But I got it done. haha =)
Today starts 100 Days of Summer, a group I found last week while searching for any "summer 2010" groups to join. 1 down, 99 to go! :D
HBM! (unless HBM drops me for touching myself lol)
