week 8 PAW

This is an abandoned house on a hill. I like how the clouds look like rays coming from the house. I could not decide which one I liked best.

Week 7 Paw

This is an outtake for a DPChallenge "Bad". I call this "dependence", because of our dependence on oil in this country. This is a Oil Well Pump Jack.

I saw this pump jack and it was not moving. I drove up to it and set up my tripod and camera. Looked into the viewfinder and all of a sudden it started working. I tell you, I about jump out of my skin. After looking around to see if anyone was watching me, I continued to take pictures.

In this part of Utah there are a lot of these. Big oil boom here. Some call them nodding donkeys. Did you know that they make a sound like a horse snorting?

week 6 PAW

Snow and rain all nite. I awoke to find fog, I was hoping to have a blue sky. This is one of my favorite places to go. The corner signs were all covered with snow.

week 5 PAW 2007

This was something that I was working on for the DPChallenge Personification II challenge. The image that I chose is something else. I call this one "bad comb-over" . As you can see we still have a lot of snow here.
Ok, here is the image I entered into the challenge. "Wait" I ranked 6th place out of 218 entries. This is my second highest one yet. (happy feet all day long).
I found this bone (I think a cow bone) and then waited until I had a somewhat blue sky. I had to drive for just a little while until I saw this fence post. I'm very pleased with this one.

week 4 PAW 2007

I know that I'm late with this post. I've had the shot, but no time to post. I will do better now (with sundays off).
This is a drive way filled with ice. The temperature finally got above freezing during the days, but freezing at nite. This road is just down the road from me. Good news, they have a back way into their house.
