beachcomber

I believe that seeing things in the off-season (like this beach and amusement park) is somehow related to my affection for looking around the back of buildings.

And I know without a doubt that I much prefer quieter, duller amusement parks to their mid-summer counterparts.

full service

This farm stand was a full-service operation.

There were pumpkins, tomatoes (including ones marked “seconds” but that looked a delicious as the other ones), flowers, honey, squash, apples, etc. And in the side room, there was a tank with live lobster.

Sometimes I run out of artistic energy. Like right now. It really took just about all I had to edit and post this shot.

And now, I think I’ll take a nap.

the focus shifted to the groom

It was a damp and chilly day for a wedding party to spend a long time outside getting photos made.

And for some reason, I found great enjoyment in the few moments when the photographers turned the cameras toward the groom, leaving the bride momentarily not the center of attention.
