10/30 

The car is ready for pickup but I have no way in town so I will goof off with my great thoughts.. looking at pics 

There might be fun thoughts of players about playing in  college or pro, but odds are it ain't gonna happen. 

It has been many moons since I have been to a football game but meeting a couple of pups seeing their excitement, I checked on how they were doing.

Pretty good until their loss last night.. the end of their season.

The players have their fame for a couple years, but a few who keep talking about it years later.. 😋

If there are 10 teams in a league, there must be 9 losers?
Football has little to do about the game I think but it is about belonging to others.

It is creating bonds n friendships, walking across the field with parent, playing in a band, marching at half time, kings n queens, friends n families going to popular places to have photos taken, excited fans in the stands jumping up n down, yelling n crying

There is always next year and not the end after you graduate for a lot of you. You might just find yourselves at games with your kids.. 

Might even be the mascot 😏

If you have to write some kind of report, an assay on what school football consists of.

Tempted to go to the park.. but 

Went to get Walmart stuff

Kookie was getting all kind of pets when I came out and I wanted to take a pic of em.. had the camera but forgot to put a battery in it

The girl gave Kookie a stuffed toy :

When we got home she did not want to get out of the back of the truck then when she saw me bring that stuffed thing in, she took it on the couch, then I went for it n she ran in her cage.

Giving me the evil eye

Selfish, she doesn't want it, just don't want me to have it Don't just get pets at the park, people love her in parking lots too.

Driving along or stopped at a light people talk to her n take her pic, once in a while I get to see em... this one when she was just a baby

Ugh memory card failure.. can't remember who else but I was using two cameras and some were saved.
Some people only come here once or a few times.. so if you let me know I will make a special trip to come out n take pics for you 😔

Hope u were not on this camera .. Looked like a bunch of friends just before heading.. after talking em to coming up on the bank.. the memory card would not read.. sorry that never happened before.

I got these guys to help me move the flag over a bit, it was in the path of the sunset, but lost that on the other camera 
#risingpark

I had a couple try out my gadget.. taking their own pic.. lost on the other camera and I got a couple great pics of me n Kookie.. but lost too 😔

#risingpark

Saw this guy n his pup n asked em for a shot.. I made a squeaking sound to get his attentio #risingpark

Took a couple of this guy.. the sky getting right.. I was there earlier but trying to figure stuff out.

#risingpark

I dabbled with the contrast with this one, think I took one of the girl with her camera too.

#risingpark

These guys wanted to give Kookie some pets so I captured em then just them

#risingpark

10/19

A fb pal took me n Kookies pic so I did some 'art' work on it 

10/18

I was up before daylight this morning to capture a sunrise and then went back tonight to capture a sunset :)

I saw two of my FB pals tonight, I waited till I knew the sky would be right.. and today was just right.

Before leaving tonight I saw the big round moon so before getting in the truck, I captured em. I like to give my moons to girls :) no they r not all the same, each time the view is different.

#risingpark

Before leaving the sky was perfect but no victims to capture.. #risingpark

I saw these guys goofing off n captured a pic of all of em in one shot. 

#risingpark

I took a pic of this guy n his sidekick n then Kookie got some one to make over her :) 

#risingpark

The horizontal ribbon of gold n blue sky ;0

#risingpark

I an guessing a couple of pals ..

#risingpark

This guy was sitting playing his guitar. Me thinking when he becomes famous and has big concerts I can get free tickets for fb pals  :)

#risingpark

Kookie behind em slobbering so I just moved the sun behind him 

#risingpark

Standing here this morning capturing the sunrise but you can't get a good shot of Mt P early.. best time is late after noon 

#risingpark

After leaving the fairgrounds on the sunrise shoot, we went up on Mt. P, came down n was goofing with camera stuff n this girl came over n made friends with Kookie
#risingpark

Though the sky was clear this morning the ground misty because it was cold n the sun making a fog

#risingpark

Mount Pleasant Sunrise

You may have seen many sunsets but this is a sun rise appearing behind Mt. Pleasant

The chart said 7:44 but the top of the sun did not appear to around 8:20 and where it first appeared by the pole on the chart but more like right here

If I am froggy I will return to take a pic of Mt Pleasant from Forest Rose then up on top to capture a video of the sun setting

Kookie making sure I did stuff right 

Though the weather map indicated good sky visibility, in the morning when it starts to warm up there is a little midst ? Couldn't see the Columbus sky line either

10/16

I wasn't froggy all day, just did part of my workout and an advanced pre nap, nap.
Thinking this day has special meaning and my last chance to capture park dwellers with the fair in the background.. wanted to drop off a couple things too.

Coming up the trail I saw one of em taking a pic of his pal on the rock, so I just took a pic of all of em on the rock :)
#risingpark

I saw a gang of pals n thought it would be a good pic, I think I took 6 shots and someone was blinking or looking away in all of them.. so I used my magic wand :)

#risingpark

Getting pets 

#risingpark

Ugh, those lights produce lens flare.. trying to include the fair. At sunset you can move back n get the sky and avoid em, but if you wanna get a pic with the fair in the background... no way to avoid lens flare

#risingpark

At post 32 where I can stand up higher n get the city below

#risingpark

I spotted a guy, a boy n a pup n asked em for this pic

#risingpark

Last pic of the night :)

#risingpark

10/15

The ups guy picked up a computer and delivered the first sample of photo buttons.

Before pricing Kookie's ears 😉I just fastened it with a rubber band. Looks like 3 1/2 would be a bit big but would be ok on a coat .. shirt..
I have 3" coming with out Kookie in the pic. These cost about $3.50 each... Only got 10 of em and will give them to a few who made over her... most people I only see once.

Shipping ... ugh if you only have a few. To get a good price on them you have to buy a batch of the same photo.
I would like to make individual pics for people but would need to buy a button maker machine.. 

Better than pics on your phone ? Are you going to walk around flipping your phone so people can see a pic .. but if you had a photo on a badge.. better than a tattoo .. cost less than a shirt or a hat (you already have) 

Who might wear em... ??? The photo button I had made at the fair long ago has not faded yet. .. so if they have a button maker place at the fair :)

10/13

Spending $$$ on computer programs that no longer work on the new windows and browsers are stop loading pre win 10 software I got this gadget.

It allows me to use all my software, the xp is completely safe from any virus ... just compose files on the usb, push the button and upload it with win 10+
Another thing .. the new win programs are ransome software.. you never own it, you just rent it .. ugh, this fixes that problem.

There was another computer sitting outside the door yesterday and when I got up today there was a computer box... it had two computers in it.. goofed off for hours  😏

No parking in the park so I drove all the way to the top and walked down. When I got to Mt P path, they were letting cars in.. 

Saw this guy taking pics so I took a couple of him with his camera n one with Kookie.

#risingpark

These guys made my day.. guess I took their pics some years back..
I can't really see pics I take until I get em home on the computer.. I was worried I might not have had it on auto focus.

Getting the crazy sky n fair in the background 😉

#risingpark

I saw these pals n asked em if I could take their pic... some of the pics I take like this.. years later I see them posted

#risingpark

I had an old park pal come back to Ohio a few years back.. him n Froggy came to the house and we went to the fair.
I haven't been to the fair for longer than a tootsie roll but get a pic of me n the pup with the fair in the background.
Tonight I couldn't get the remote to work n asked a pup if he would take a couple of me n Kookie.

I have been thinking about making photo badges this week and when I went in the other bed room I spotted a photo badge when my wife (Rita) was still here n my little girl.. tick tock, so I just took em to the (almost) fair .. too little to see on the Zelda shirt.. so.. 

#risingpark

These r the guys who took out pic. I thought this would be one of the nights when no one made over Kookie.. till these guys came along #risingpark

Too dark but my last fair view this year.. n still no elephant ear 😞#risingpark

10/12

Haven't been out for a couple days, but I had some badges ordered. Not sure if anyone will want them but I created a version for the Yoga girls, one with and one with out Kookie.
I guess there is a safety pin on back so they can be attached to hats or clothes :)

10/09

I figured it would be nice n work Dusty's Snoopy shirt for luck. We just parked and before we had a chance these guys were ready to give Kookie pets :)
#risingpark

I saw the sun beaming through the trees n did this shot but these guys weren't froggy .. so no mug shot #risingpark

We got a pretty good shot of these pups.. took a few to get it right #risingpark

These guys knew me, guess I took their pic before #risingpark

There are usually some one down the rock ... #risingpark

#risingpark

Trying to get a shot with the moon hanging n the sky, hard to get down n get Kookie but selfies r easier

#risingpark

Got a couple moon shots.. very small and small 

#risingpark

The sky with a golden horizontal band .. thought it would be wider tonight .. but #risingpark

On our way back, I spotted a couple more pups n talked em into a pic #risingpark

I saw a bunch of pals together n thought it would be a good pic.. but didn't include the sky.. also there were 3 guys taking pics and I took a pic of all 3 of them with their camera

#risingpark

First shots these guys stuck out.. no background but I remembered the scene setting.

"Night portrait" short flash for your victims and slow shutter to allow the background to appear.
Going down the hump, I heard someone and one of em said hi Buddy.. so I figured I had taken their pic before.

Think about walking around the fair for a few minutes.. but not alone n Kookie can't go.. maybe some year before ...

Had to do a Kroger pickup so I dropped some Amazon stuff off in a few spots.. already in town so a trip up Mt. P. we went. I had a notion to see if I could ride around the fair for pics.. but wanted to get finished.. rain they said but not a drop.

No pics of any park dwellers.. oh well 😏

#risingpark

You know I can't leave with out a couple pics. I had a hard time getting Kookie on the spot then she wouldn't look my way.. but then a pumpkin was coming down n I got her to talk .. Kookie turned her head n I got one shot of a beautiful girl :)
#risingpark

No victims so.. if anyone reads my stuff, seeing so many pics of people taking pics under the gazebo that come out like the one on the top left... The point of the pic is capturing faces and the fountain in the background, right.. when the background is brighter u have to use fill in flash

Bottom pics depth of field if you focus on something close the background blurry, if you focus on the background the things close r blurry.. 

#risingpark

10/05

If I stop goofing off Kookie could go to the park but imagining a pat design. Wonder if anyone would wear em ... 

Still having trouble with a bland sky but tilting the camera up gives it a bit of color saturation.. these guys walking by so I tricked em in a pic.. :) #risingpark

These guys were leaving n I didn't see em taking any pics so I asked them for a couple shots

Also did pics of two different pals with their cameras

#risingpark

You can get some nice pics with the fair in the background, looks like they r setting up early.. Sunday is the free day. I always wanna walk around but I wouldn't know anyone n no pups allowed.. but wanted an elephant ear for a couple years.. silly thoughts #risingpark

I think these guys are from the fair? I talk to people for a few minutes in a haze I guess :) 

Heh hee Kookie got some pets ... 😉

I tried to get them to experiment with flash vs no flash, that is the last pic here .. no use to post the no flash shot.

Also saw our FB pal on the balance strap ... had something to give but didn't see em

#risingpark

10/01

Had to go to the pill store at Kroger.. a giant line and only one person so off to Mt P we went .. came back n they were closed.. ugh

Saw these guys walking out to the rock n thought I would get a pic of em looking out in the wild blue yonder... then I wanted to get a profile but the sun blasting causing sun flare.. so I doodled with it and went for a piece of 'art' :)
#risingpark

I took a pic of a family with their camera and before these guys left, I took a pic with their camera n mine

#risingpark
