I bought this 70-300 lense especially for this kind of photography, but this is maybe the first time I use it for this purpose. Shot from about 20 meters.
We went to Pennsylvania to visit my grandfather on Saturday. We took him out to lunch and gave him some photos from recent family gatherings. He's 88 years old and has been living alone for 12 years now. Well he's not so alone since he moved into a senior apartment building a year or so ago. He's loves that there is always someone nearby to shoot the breeze with. But not many of the other residents can keep up with him and he always prefers the rowdier company of younger people.
There was near-record rainfall in our parts the past few days. Flood warnings abound. On Monday the water line on our street sprung a leak I guess. We had a deep, gurgling puddle seperating us from the street. A road crew dug up the area directly in front of our driveway to replace what appeared to be a valve.
I didn't get much sleep Monday night so I burned one of my vacation days and played hooky on Tuesday. I watched a lot of Mr. Show and Match Game episodes.
This MyWeek is my 26th which makes this a half year anniversary. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
Looks like a big tie replacement project is coming on the Staples Sub as ties are distributed along the mains from Big Lake to Randall as of now.
Kate and I spent a few days in Oregon and Washington in November-December 2009. See all of the pictures from this trip.
