Fair Season

Leave a comment

The county fair has come and gone and I didn’t get there. Bummer. I was sick the first few days of it, when feeling better the weather sucked and the last day when it cleared we had other plans. But I think I’m going to propose going to the State Fair this year to my better half.

I need to get some more people shots this summer. And fairs and the ocean are fine spots for them. Did I say ocean? Must be time to be heading east again till I hit water and drive no further. More on that thought soon. I hope to make at least one trip for each of the next 3 months.

Some seat time in the convertible in the summer is therapeutic. That bookends time on the beach and some photography. I’m looking forward to a day by myself. Just some music, my thoughts, sun, sand, and the cameras.

Of course, I’ll stop at a few favorite haunts for refreshments and grub. But it’s usually a very good mental reset day.

Good night to the Olympics – I shot a few things around Montreal on one visit. Maybe I’ll get to a live one someday. LA in 4 years, who knows?

Random Thoughts of the Day

  • The sunset last night was beautiful. Looks like someone put it on repeat for tonight.
  • I so enjoyed the Olympics this year from Paris. By all appearances and reviews a great job France.
  • Made some juicy grilled chicken this evening. Nothing like a warm summer evening and the grill.
  • Use what works for you. If it brings a smile, go with it.
  • Mondays make me smile now. So does every other day of the week.
