I was at the park today for my lunch break and I took a walk. This little hazard sign struck me as sort of funny. It was setup in front of a couple of small trees near the picnic shelter.

Of course, what you can’t see is the pipe cap that protrudes from the ground just below the level I’ve photographed.

It’s all about context.

93/365: grocery list

Yeah yeah, I know. It’s only a grocery list…nothing particularly interesting or revelatory about it.

But what I did think was interesting is the distortion on the left and ride sides of the photo. Where the sides seem to bow outwards a bit. I think this is a good example of barrel distortion caused by the curvature of the camera lens. I’m no expert, but I do think that’s what is happening here.

Also not a big deal I guess, but there it is anyway.

An early glimpse of spring to come?

I’ll admit that I’m not entirely happy with the results of this one…a little fuzzy. However, I do like the background.

Warmer and pleasant

February 21st, 2010 Brian Comments

We’ve had a very pleasant warm snap this weekend. I just got back from a bike ride and the conditions were sunny and around sixty degrees. I did about 29 miles, I think. I haven’t really looked at the stats yet from the computer.

I did stop one time to try and get some photos of some unbelievably cute baby goats, but they trotted off down the hillside when I got near. I’ll have to try again on a future ride if I’m over on that road, and there’s a good chance. Anyway, don’t expect baby goats for my photo of the day today. I don’t know what I’m going to do about that yet.

For now I’m just cooling off and jotting of this entry. See ya later.
