The Carousel at Greenfield Village Holiday Nights
This is the old carousel at night during the Christmas Holiday Nights festival. It got very cold, but they had caroling, fireworks and all sorts of other stuff going one.
I think it’s looking like a lot of motion for a 1/4 second exposure…
A house or B&B in Canada
I love the house and all the colored wooden chairs. With the green background, I like how it all “fits” together.
This is own the Canadian side of the Detroit river, we’re south of Windsor so I’m not certain exactly where. Maybe down by Amherstberg…
I forgot to mention, this was on one of the Diamond Jack river tours (they have a dock in Detroit and another in Wyandotte) this was one of the two different tours from Wyandotte; if you’ve never done any of these tours, your missing out!
A lonely doll washed up on shore
Yes, I know it’s a little creepy, but there is something I like about it. Actually, I’ve got four or five of these that I took with a few different cameras and there is something I really like about them (I took more, but there is 4 or 5 I really like). So, you might be seeing more of this doll in the future…
This is way up the beach from Montezuma, I think it’s where they do the surfing, I think it was when I stopped for lunch on the way to El Chorro Falls….
Big caterpillar on the picnic table
I was hesitant to tag this with insect (isn’t 6 legs the rule?), but I googled it and got “A caterpillar is the larva of a butterfly or moth. A butterfly is a diurnal insect. So, a caterpillar is a baby insect.”
I think I shot this at one of the parks along Hines Drive or maybe it’s the seat of a bench in front of Hamtramck City Hall (I’d eat lunch outside at the park when I worked in Hamtramck) but it doesn’t look bright enough to be directly outside (even with clouds). I know I shot it in May or June of 2010 but I’m just not sure where I took it…
Looking down the zip line of doom!
“As I’m about to go careening down this zip line, dark foreboding clouds appear in the direction that I’m heading”.
Actually, I don’t think I had any thoughts of the sort. I was very excited to be doing this again (I had done it a few years before). Mark and I were driving from the North towards San Jose, Costa Rica and I saw the zip lines so we stopped so I could go for a ride.
This is an older photo, but I’ve always loved how it turned out. Taken with an old Kodak LS420 camera, I think it was only 2 MegaPixels and it was my first small digital camera.
