The fabulous local produce at Oyster Cove and surrounding areas is found in this beautiful old greengrocer's store. This is a sight you don't see too often these days. But unlike the supermarkets, who freeze and store their produce, all this wonderful fare is completely fresh and so much more tasty.

The St. John Local arrives at Grant Tower in Salt Lake City.
Pentax SMC Takumar 55mm, developed in Affinity Photo. This group of bushes is located right next to the parking lot at Piper's lagoon. I love the contrast of the white blossoms against the gnarly and lichen encrusted branches, but had not thought to try the Tak on it. In some ways it is the best results I have achieved to date, and these at the very end of the photoshoot when I was tired and ready to break my fast. Glad I stopped.
My notes from this trip in 1994 had this down as a 'Reno Local', taken somewhere around Reno. However, I can't locate the exact place on maps.
It has been extremely hot a muggy here lately. I trugged through it last week to enjoy some hiking and photography on my day off. Just visited my local hiking trail, and had a blast playing with my old Minolta lenses.

A lot of rain again lately. I went out with the intention of photographing this little fall and produce a monochrome image, which I did. However I also like the colour version
Following the cut through the sand hills made by the Middle Loup River, westbound empties wait for permission on to Alliance. The train is stopped at Seneca, NE and the Stable Productions Exotic Animal Ranch is in the background. Home to zebras, water buffalo, elk, reindeer and other exotics, the only thing from out-of-town I caught in the frame was a Kansas City Southern SD70ACe.

BNSF SD60M 1431 leads M-CHIGAL East through Lemont, IL. Lately, these locals have mainly been using road power so this was nice to see.
So went on a walk about with my camera and some of my Canon FD lenses at the local shopping area. They always have great flower displays. As I bent down to take a picture of a Stella del Oro day lily, I noticed this fairly large jumping spider (Phidippus audax) had made this flower its home.
I think these little guys are super cool! My first time getting to shoot images of one of these critters.
Of course I did all this as people were walking past me wondering what the heck I was doing. LOL! Super graceful looking I'm sure.
