Iced Tea

It's pretty much all I ever drink (friends and family will vouch for that). So for this week's Photo Hunt challenge "Beverages," there really wasn't any other choice for me!
This shot was taken at a wedding last year - my frustration with the low light levels got me fiddling with macro shots of stuff at the table.

No Swimming!

Another Photo Hunt challenge, another archive pic! For this week's topic "beach," I dug up this old favorite that I've been meaning to post.
Despite the snow, it's still not too cold for the gulls! But even in summer, you still can't swim here. This is a surfing-only beach at the very north end of Asbury Park.
This picture was taken with Old Camera on December 9th, 2005.

Pier Fishing

For this week's Photo Hunt challenge of "Fishing," I took another trip back through the California 2006 Trip archive and found this photo of fisherman doing their thing off the San Clemente Municipal Pier.

Limerick Day face painting

It's not often I'm even tempted to go into such Geoff-ish territory, subject-wise. But while strolling around this year's Limerick Day at Manderach Park, camera luckily in hand, I spotted the scenes above. Perfect angle, perfect light, perfect subjects. Who could resist?

Of course, Geoff would use that lovely soft-focus, but that's just not me... ;)

Thanks for the unexpected inspiration, Geoff!
