Mike's "Wind"

You've all seen the front of my clock, a couple of different weeks.  Here is something else from my grandfather that you need to wind.
Its one of the pocket watches that he used while he was a bus driver to make certain the bus was running on time.

Cory's Wind

Looks like two people read this week's topic as "wind", whereas I read it as "wind". Subtle difference, eh?

This is what the wind blew in for us this week: six or so inches of snow. It actually started last week, but continued this week: the lab was closed on Monday, had an early dismissal on Thursday, and a late start on Friday all due to snow. But at least it looks pretty for Christmas!

Ryan's "Wind"

My parents need to wind their clock occasionally:

Fred's "Wind"

The bear says, "What am I doing among all these silly toys?"

"Wind" is due tomorrow

Next week: "Christmas" (or "Holidays", "Hanukkah", "Kwanza" as appropriate.)

Mike's "Bear"

While spending my lunch hour at the Dollar Tree last week, I ran into these bears, hung up like a bunch of carrots.I only had my phone with me, but thought I better get a quick pic in case I didn't make it to the zoo this weekend. I forgot about gummy bears...

Ryan's "Bear"

Bears are in short supply around eastern Nebraska. There are a bunch in the Henry Doorly Animal Prison, but I didn't have a chance to go visit them.

Instead I found glowing demon candy bears...



This week or next we will have another player posting. Fred lives up in the Minneapolis area, wrenches on a Triumph Spitfire occasionally, and had a camera around his neck when I met him.

Cory's Bear

Some bears like fish, others like berries, and at least one likes hunny. This one prefers coffee and pancakes for breakfast though.

"Bear" is due tomorrow.

Ryan's "Darkroom"

This is a stretch... it's a screen capture rather than a real photo.

Cory's Darkroom

This is my digital darkroom, where I do all of my photography playing (among other things). I didn't actually start playing with cameras until the digital age was among us, so I've never had an actual darkroom. I think this way is much easier for me.

Mike's "Dark Room"

I'm going to dwell in the past with this one.  In 1979 I bought an old Federal enlarger at a garage sale and had a makeshift B&W darkroom in my parents basement.
Of all the film reels and tanks, paper, lights I had, this lens for the enlarger is all I have kept. I'm a lens hoarder.  It must be good for something.

Next week: "Bear"

Tomorrow: "Your darkroom (computer)".

Cory's Stretched

I ended up taking this picture in the wind during a snowstorm, and it didn't come out as pretty as I had planned. However, it does show what I wanted: one of my favorite parts of little parking lot Christmas tree yards is the lights that they stretch between poles so you can see them. It looks very festive.

Ryan's "Stretch"

Stretching the truth....

Mikes "Stretch"

I'm using one of those stretchy things to strengthen my inner core.
My personal trainer is helping by making sure I keep my feet flat on the floor.

Next week: "Your darkroom (computer)"

Stretch(ed) due tomorrow.
