Pictures for Pam, Day 60: Macro Monday: New Year's…

08 Jan 2019 67 54 1140
(+6 insets!) Today isn't just Monday…It's MACRO MONDAY! This ipernity group took the past two weeks off for the holidays but they are now back on schedule with a new project: "New Year's Resolutions / Good Intentions for the New Year". I thought about our plans this year and how I might incorporate them into macro images. I came up with three ideas! First is our resolution to continue our healthy lifestyle--namely to continue our Ketogenic way of eating along with daily exercise. My macro could be my pile of rocks which I use to mark each lap of walking up and down my driveway for my daily exercise. Second is our resolution to get our back deck finished, which has been a fairly sizable project because there is a deck outside our master bedroom as well as the main deck. I thought the perfect macro could be showing the wood planks with droplets on them for added interest. Third is our resolution to get our RV travel underway so we can begin having adventures out and about! Our truck purchase was integral to our plans so I thought that some macros of the truck would be perfect. As it happened, it's been raining so droplets on the truck are a no-brainer! I planned to take pictures yesterday but ran out of daylight so I got out there before it began raining today…and well, I went crazy. Hundreds of pictures later I forced myself back inside and copied them onto my computer. Holy moly, what a lot of cool pictures…as you may know, I'm coo-coo about abstracts so these close-ups were really fun to look at. One of my favorite aspects to photography is meandering through my pictures, cropping them and discovering the gems. I got really lucky today...too lucky I think! :D It was really hard to choose so in the end, I processed a handful of them to share! Let me know what you think! Pam, today has been all about droplets for me, so I checked out your droplet shots--so many pretty flowers covered with drops! I especially loved your Orange Day Lily pictures…such stunning flowers and even prettier with droplets!! I hope you are doing ok today, my dear. I hope all goes well with your tests... I'm thinking warm thoughts about you as I always do! *BIG HUGSSSSSSSSS*!!!!! Explored on 1/8/19, highest placement, #2.

169/366: Blue Classic

Today is the end of the 2016 Medford Cruise. It's a shame that Steve and I missed this year's events, but we were tied up the weekend before and then we left for our motorcycle vacation on Thursday, and won't be home until tomorrow. There will be other shows though, so we're not too disappointed. And the fact of the matter is I have dozens upon dozens of pictures still to process from when we went in 2013! VIVA LA MEDFORD CRUISE!!! :D

Medford Cruise week is upon us! For a whole week, Medford will be crawling with classics! This is a shallow dof shot of the front of a snazzy Corvette that I took a few years ago! In the words of Ferris Bueller: "They are so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." (LOL I checked to make sure I got the quote right, and I did! What a nerd I am!) :D

This is another picture I took at one of the Medford Cruise week's "Show 'n' Shine" exhibitions. So many awesome cars, at some point my eyes start spinning around in my head from so many amazing vehicles! This year's Medford Cruise is coming up and I can't wait! :D (who's that in the reflection?! :D)

Here's another beautiful old car from our yearly Medford Cruise Show 'n' Shine. I'm sure someone knows what kind of car this is, and I'd be very happy to identify it!

At the Medford Cruise classic car show, I got the chance to see some of my favorite old cars, including the ever so hot and sexy Corvette Stingray...YOWZA!! I had fun taking my picture in the reflection of this beautiful car's glossy paint job!

In my attempts to capture a picture of a snowflake, I saw that water droplets had frozen on the hood of my blue Ford Focus. I couldn't resist taking a few pictures because I thought this might look interesting and pretty!
