Description

The Arboretum has so many wonderful places to just hang out and watch the world go by. Denise and I were wandering along the water's edge when these kayakers came around the corner. I stood there snapping off shot after shot, which prompted Denise to ask me why I was taking so many pictures of these guys. It was the paddles ... I wanted to see if I could get them in synch or perfectly opposite, with the reflections in the still water. When I got home and looked at these shots, I realized that the guy in front was staring at me the whole time I was taking his picture! I'm a perfectly innocent-looking middle-aged woman just out for an afternoon at the park, minding my own business, taking pictures of ducks. What did he think - that I was going to post his picture on the internet or something?? Oh ... ummm ... never mind! :D

Funny! I have something that I could post that would compliment this capture. Photo 1 has surprised young lady on extreme right side, photo 2 has her looking at me verrrry strangely...I hadn't noticed her at all until getting home. Was it my fault she just happened to be in the way? LOL. I am a perfectly innocent-looking middle-aged man just visiting the museum minding my own business. Did she think I was going to post her picture on the internet or something??

Brilliant shot, and such a funny commentary! Actually when I read the ebot I thought that is a REALLY eccentric name for an Iris.

How funny. I was snapping shots in the farmer's market yesterday never really thinking about the people there except how they best fit in as accent pieces in my composition ... until a delightful older couple saw I was pointed in their direction and then they started hamming it up for the camera. It was wonderful and I laughed so hard at their waving and winking at me that I almost didn't come back with any decent shot at all. :-)
