Get out with the camera, the miniseries

[QuietOne]

Friday I figured I could go somewhere, anywhere, during my lunch hour and it would do my sanity a lot of good. Unfortunately, my car was driving on fumes. So after a run to the gas station, I headed for the Nature Center, because I knew I could reach that, find something to photograph and still make it back to the office on time. On a couple of these, I'm not certain how much of the soft and fuzzy was deliberate, rather than a reflection of my ability to concentrate!

Of these two, Mike likes the sharper one on the right and I like the softer one. Anyone want to be a tie breaker? ;)

Got some good pics! As for the bottom two I can't even make up my mind I keep flip flopping. Like the middle one a lot!

[Hillbillygirl]

Nicely done on all, and as for the last two. They both have their own merits, and I am in the same boat as Realist. Like them both about equal.

[Bambi]

nice set. I quite like the leaf shot on the right. :)

It's amazing how just getting out and photographing can help your sanity. I don't see any lack of concentration in these excellent images. I really like that middle one and as for the last two, I'm like the others, on the fence. They both have their merits.

[QuietOne]

Dang, guess I'll have to tell Mike his preference squeaked ahead! I'll have to go back for another dose of sanity in the near future - haven't seen what other sections look like lately.

[Realist]

Nominated!

[Marko]

I really like this set - way to just get out there.

[Runmonty]

Nice set. I am going to make it level again - a slight preference for the left one.

[QuietOne]

Thank you, everyone. Realist, thanks for the nomination, and Runmonty - I had to take desperate measures. I had to get Mike squirrel pictures.

Kudos to you for getting out at lunchtime. A great idea, especially with the shorter daylight hours. My favourite is the second one. As for the last pair, I'm afraid I like them equally.

[QuietOne]

Thanks, Doug. I need to get out again. This time of year it's sometimes the only chance I get.
