Montage


As summer continues to amble along, I continue to amble with it. My mind is rich with thoughts and ideas, but they're not making their way onto paper (or blog post) much. So I'll share with you some images from our vacation--the lake leg of the trip. Hope summer is treating you well.

no. 1: the path to the lake

***


no. 2: contemplative slide perch

***

no. 3: carnival ferris wheel holding waving daughter and niece.
***


no. 4: my perch at the lake, aka: bliss on weathered wood
(yes, there's wine in that plastic cup)



no. 5: self-portrait

***


no. 6: newt gingrich waving at 4th of July parade

***


no. 7: ron paul supporters
(love their panache)

***

no. 8: seen the next day, titled bull-headed
(my attempt at political humor)

***

no. 9: my camera lens was dirty (thanks, Coppertone) but
I love the way the smear reflects the sun off their brass
***


no. 10: cows divided
(also-known-as my second attempt at political humor)
***


no. 11:
PS: What would Don Quixote make of these power wind mills in Iowa?
Would he fight them? Would he win?

How fun!! And a perfect way to show us everything you have going on (humour, coppertone and all!). I'm envious of your perch, so far the only perch I've had all summer is at my desk at work. Booooo.

Your perch looks divine. Minus wine add a summer shanty (beer) & that would be heaven. Ok maybe add a nikon, too.

LOVED all these stories (through pictures) and your political humor, too.

Such beautiful photos!! Your lake looks so much like the one I used to go to when I was little.

Hey, I saw Newt a couple of weeks ago too. He was having dinner in Alexandria. I would have preferred to see Barack ...(sigh).

You are an awesome photographer!!!

I'm jealous of that perch, plastic wine cup and all. Great photos!

Oh, I love this, Denise! The ferris wheel, the reflections off the brass, and especially the pol humor ones! If you want to see Newt again, come and visit - we go to the same sushi place!

So glad to see your summer through your eyes...
