Picture-A-Week 2024 - Week 09

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, February 26 and Sunday, March 3.

 

This is it!

 

Thursday is Bonus Dias!

 

Get out and shoot those once-in-four-years photos. 

 

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

A very slow week for photos. We're having a tree taken out and there is some prep work needed. Between that and many days of rain, there was precious little to photograph and what there was, wasn’t. The only half decent image this week was a fortuitous find Son Dan made while on a birthday trip to Vegas. He is a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay and while dining at one of his locations, he had a Browned Butter Old Fashioned. He was impressed enough to message me a photo and the name of the main ingredient. That ingredient (pictured here) was immediately searched and the only location west of the Mississippi was a Total Wine store in, you guessed it...Las Vegas. He picked up a couple of bottles on the way home and I must say, it was worth the trouble.

 

Tasteful Surprise

The advantages of living in the town of my college alma mater...baseball!  Some parks have the Tool Race (Atlanta), President Race (DC) or Sausage Race (Milwaukee)...we have the Solo Cup Race and Yellow has never won.

I promised I'd be back around these boards again.  Can't guarantee it'll be on a regular or weekly basis yet as still dealing with a lot with bills, estate, legal, taxes, etc.  But I'll try when I get a break to post some stuff, including the wildlife and birding outings  The following were from Saturday, March 2:

Little late for the show...

 

The moment SpaceX’s Dragon and Crew 8 separated from their booster.  I am told the ring is called a jellyfish and fairly rare.
