From a sparsley attended Philadelphia Area Photobloggers jaunt this past January, this is a gravestone in St. Peter's Cemetery, which dates back to 1761. It had been raining at the start of our meet-up, leaving great reflective puddles like this one.
This is also my entry into this week's Photo Hunt, for "Something Old."
For my entry into this first "official" Photo Hunt week (with the subject "Something New"), I've decided to go against the grain of entries dealing with new buildings, baby animals & baby people. Instead, here's the "New Releases" Section of Jack's Music Shoppe in Red Bank, NJ.
Thanks for letting me take photos in your shop, guys!
For more pix from Jack's see my Flickr page.
Back in June we went to a party on the Atlantic City bay, and were treated to this great view of the skyline as the sun set. I'm submitting this as my "Building" entry into this week's Photo Hunt.
I guess I'll single out the building in the middle, even though I don't remember what casino it is. But it's more interesting than either the Tropicana or Bally's that flank it.
I had the opportunity to attend the Vintage Aircraft Day & Classic Car Show at Wings Airfield in Blue Bell, PA today. This amazing hood ornament was from a 1941 Cadillac 62D Sedan. I got some other cool shots of planes and cars, but this was the obvious "shot of the day."
My family came over for a Labor Day picnic, and my nephew Andrew brought his skateboard. I welcomed the opportunity to get some shots of him showing off.
He's also my entry into this week's Photo Hunt.
As promised, here's the in-focus mantis in all its water-droplet glory. A cooler photo than the original, but not exactly the right for the Photo Hunt.
I thought I'd have to hit the archives for a "Mineral" photo for this week's Photo Hunt , but the perfect shot was waiting for me this morning as I gassed up my car.

...Who provided a good opportunity to test the Macro settings on New Camera. Figured it would make a good entry for this week's Photo Hunt.
This post is serving double-duty: both as another test post for the Photo Hunt, and the start of a series of posts from our Cape May vacation last year.
A test post, for what will hopefully be a new and improved Photo Scavenger Hunt!
This is from the harbor in Oceanside, CA.
This shot is from last year's Salvador Dali Exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The famous steps were transformed into an ingenious giant mosaic of the surrealist master - one of the best promotions I've seen from the Museum. After we viewed the exhibit (which was brilliant), I was lucky enough to snap this immediately after the two women shown took a photo from the same vantage point. It almost appears that Mr. Dali is annoyed to have these people walking over his face!
This is another Old Camera shot, so the quality is not what it should be. But I like it nonetheless.
I'm also using this for my "Something Oversized" entry in the Photo Scavenger Hunt. After wracking my brain about what to shoot for it (after J. Brookston himself used the best oversized item in Philly as the example!), I remembered this shot and reckoned it would work.
...I've finally learned how to enable anybody (not just fellow 'bloggers) to leave comments! Go me.
So all of you "Finding My Way" fans who've been thwarted in the past (yeah, both of you) can now comment away to your heart's content!
And Jorj can kill that fake 'blog he created just for my sake (don't think your efforts are unappreciated, brother).
Thanks for everyone who's provided feedback - posted or otherwise!
(P.S. - above: an unexpected parabolic dish antenna in suburban New Jersey)
For this week's Photo Hunt, a view of the ornamental clock outside of Reussilles Jewelry Store in downtown Red Bank, NJ.
Though if this is a real Rolex, this particular clock is not a very good advertisment - the rear face was 10 minutes behind the front face!
Some "inspired Lunacy" for you. This is from my first attempt at shooting the Moon. After some 2 dozen pictures snapped, I have this one really good shot to show for it.
The sun had just gone down when I took this, but I had to use the low-light setting (not to mention a tripod) to get any definition. The unintended result is the black sky. All my "blue sky" shots were a little short on crater detail.
But when looking at the moon - it's all about the crater detail!

The top 2 photos are from Wildwood's amusement piers. They were taken the same day as the Lighthouse photos below, that day's beautiful blue sky turning into a brilliant sunset.
As promised, more photos from last year's Cape May trip.

To make up for the recent dearth of postings, I'm putting up a 2nd set tonight:
Rounding out my postings from SoCal:
Greetings from San Clemente, California! We're out here visiting family, enjoying the beaches, taking in the sights, and watching a lot of surfing. The middle 2 photos are of Jason, one of our gracious hosts. The 2nd is my first stab at a b&w conversion - it just seemed fitting for the image. I might try the same with the last photo. The top shot is from the San Clemente Municipal Pier, where you can see surfers from a rare vantage point (if you don't surf) - the side.
This shot is from last year's Salvador Dali Exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The famous steps were transformed into an ingenious giant mosaic of the surrealist master - one of the best promotions I've seen from the Museum.
