Aruba

Yes, I found meca. This place has to be on your bucket list. If you like the desert, it's got it. If you like the beach, it's got it. If you like, gambling, it's got it. If you like anything, it's here. We were fortunate to go with Paul & Lyn that knew the island well. Otherwise it would have taken longer to see what we saw...not that, that would have been a bad thing. Enjoy the show.

This Photographer Still Goes To School

If you ever have a chance to attend Steve Bedell's "Natural Light" photography class, do it. Then do it again until you "get it". Here Steve has set up the model as we use reflected light of the building and the sun at her back.

Steve looks for interesting backgrounds and found this fencing in front of a dumpster in an alley. Remember no flash was used, all natural light.

Steve liked the colors of this setting right on Main Steet getting plenty of onlooker attention.

Steve liked this rusty old fire escape a lot more than the model liked sitting on it.

The End.

Camping at Holland Pond, VT

Our annual camping too us to Holland Pond, Vt this year. Two camps and over an acre of land near a loon preserve plus trails to walk and bike.

Quiet water beckoned us daily.

Misty fog and the call of loons was exciting.

This sunrise ended the week nicely.

Today is a good day to do....nothing at all.
