Mono Monday and a couple of splashes of color
Good Morning and I hope your weekend went well
and wishing you a good week ahead
Mine was nice and quiet took it pretty easy,
Today I have the Hernia surgery head into the hospital at 10:30 and should be hone this afternoon all going well
Its been driving me nuts being sensible and staying off the computer and not getting out for photo walks but its been the right thing to do the Hernia has caused me enough pain at times nit doing those things so it was a good decision to take it easy And no doubt my wife will rightly insist i keep taking it easy till the after surgery visit with Dr in probably two weeks when i will get the stitches out
i must have had over 250 stiches put in me over the years mostly from skin cancers caught early and removed
I at one stage had a table keeping track of the stiches that I could remember at the time, and when I completed it I was at 200+ stitches, and I guess I got overwhelmed thinking about it and decided to stop counting.
Starting with this shot on the pier by the boat ramp and one end of the harbor walk here in New Bedford MA, I was trying a bit of light painting and this one did not work as planned but when I tried it in mono I kind of liked the effect

And this next one down at the port early one morning a bit of motion from the water makes parts a little soft or blurry but again I kind of like the feel that gives

Perhaps i should have saved this shot for Halloween week, this is in the Oak Grove cemetery near my house.
We live right next door to the cemetery and see it from my backdoor, and do not mind it all all, but I have one colleague who is terrified of living that close to a cemetery, so much so when he did visit here a couple of years back he wouldnt come to his house we had to meet him downtown

I guess this isnt really a splash of color more half and half playing around with my light painting gear

this tractor was in the outside area at Cisco Breweries recently along with a few hail bails here and there, probably for some themed event they were having
