I took this with a whole quarter of a second shutter speed and my hands didn’t shake! WOOHOO!

Leaf Peeping
I guess we will go leaf peeping today.
Lots of pictures, most look like trash, but one or two might be okay.
I have my D90, my Coolpix, and my iPhone. I dropped the Coolpix but I think it’s okay. I’m leaning toward my iPhone for random rest stop/gas station stuff. The leaf peeping is all D90 though.
Isn’t this fascinating?
13/365
After a discussion at work about rivers drying up due to the drought, I paid a visit to The Mighty Spicket River in Salem, NH today. It seems a little better than the last time I checked on it, but still super, crazy low.
I put the kit lens that came with my D90 when I bought it in January of 2010 back onto the camera for the first time in years. Of the three lenses I own it is by far the worst, but I figured if I was going to go camera nuts I might as well go nuts with all the toys I own.
Groovy.
Scenes from a Road Trip Part Three
Random moments from stops on the road yesterday.
Stretching My Legs
Welcome to New Hampshire. I just crossed the state line coming out of Vermont. I still have about 100 miles to go but I pulled over to give my legs a good stretching. I’m in a Walgreens parking lot and the store is closed. That didn’t compute for me until I looked at my watch and saw it was 9:10pm. Oh, yeah. Closing time.
Okay, time to get back on the road. I need to get home with enough time to do my 30 minutes of walkies. Yikes!
One Hour Along
One hour into the return trip to Vermont. Somewhere near New London, NH.
Time for some Calcium supplements and maybe some Tylenol. You look overwhelmed with excitement.
Heh heh heh
Scenes from a Road Trip
On the Road Again
The weather is shitty but we are on the road heading North.
We pulled off the highway for a pit stop and just outside of the gas station entrance we saw this little fox casually strolling up the road.
Wildlife, babie!
I didn’t get a picture so here’s a lawn mower instead.
Merrimack River
In Manchester, NH. You can kinda see the river in the distance.
Cloudy Sunrise
Usually I don’t go to the ocean for sunrise pics unless the forecast calls for nothing but sun. I don’t want any risk of driving all that way and then not being able to see the sun break the water. After a few successes though, I wanted to try going on a day with some clouds in the hopes of seeing how the sun makes the clouds change color. Sunday’s forecast called for partly cloudy.
It was almost a bust. “Partly” turned out to be “almost completely” except for a little band of sky right on the horizon. If not for that, I would have been screwed. As it was, I only had a few minutes with a visible sun before it hid behind the partly=completely.
