Day 259...Cool Sky

Day 259
I guess I'm must be the queen of  "drive by shooting"...
Photography, that is.
On our way to dinner this evening I caught this sky shot
through the windshield..
Wish I'd been somewhere else to shoot such an awesome early evening sky
but this was it on Glen Hendren Rd in Liberty, MO...

Day 257...Halloween Treats...:)

Day 257
Some things you just don't mess with...
Like trying to turn Oreos into "Candy Corn Oreos"
(a few posts back)
Not a good thing...
Soooo sweet of Mark to hunt them down for me but 
not worth the calories, that's for sure!
Now, on the other hand these Candy Corn Taffy's???
L.O.V.E. them!!! 
If you like Taffy and a Buttercream type flavor
you will love these!!! :)
I can't really say they taste like Candy Corn but
they are GOOOD!
They rank right up there with the real
Candy Corn and Peanut mix!!!

Day 256...American Ride

Day 256
Spent some time running a few errands this morning and 
then decided to have lunch on the square.
While I was eating my lunch another lady came over to my table and asked me if I 
knew what was going on outside on the corner...
Of course I had no idea but do you think me, with camera in hand, 
was going to miss out on an opportunity to find out? Heck no!
So when I first went out, just standing by my car across the street,
I notice I'm being looked at...Well, HELLO, it is a public street!!!
Snapped a shot or two and the next thing I know this nice gentleman 
approaches me and tells me they're filming a local episode of American Ride 
here on the square at the bank museum and 
I am in the background!!! Ok, I will move!
He invited me to follow him and told me I could stand behind the crew
and take as many photos as I liked.
What I actually saw was the on location interview our local news KSHB 41 was conducting.
I had to leave and head home before they actually started filming the episode at the bank.
I hope I can get the channel it's on...I'd like to see it.
Stan Ellsworth is a former NFL player and history teacher
who now travels the States on his Harley
re-discovering American History...sounds really interesting to me!
 I was spotted

 this gentleman to the left was the one who asked me to remove myself from my spot!
And here I thought I was observing from afar!


Stan Ellsworth ... The interview
 My thought is...
I bet that bike rides inside this trailer a lot and he either flies or rides along..
what'd you think? Surely not?
rounding the block for another take!

Day 255...Weston Red Barn Farm

Day 255
Took a field trip today with photography club to Red Barn Farm...
Fun times! Even got in some trouble too...
But I'll blame that on the crowd I was hangin' with today.
Those photo club gals are wild ones, you know!
And my granddaughter too! 
I should know better than to hang with such a crowd... :)

Day 253...Reunion Day

Day 253
What an absolutely beautiful day it was today!!!
And I had the day off from work! :)
Mark and I went to the Liberty Fall Festival parade, had lunch together,
did our shopping,
and off I went to my high school reunion...35 years! 
After shooting many, many photos at the parade...I figured something out!
I do not like crowds when trying to take photo's.
I find it unattractive for the background, people get in the way, 
you don't get to choose your "prime spot" for shooting, 
and even if you do find a good spot....someone still manages to step right in front of you.
Just not what I like, I guess.
On the way back to our car I saw this beautiful butterfly 
and literally followed it around until it landed long enough for me to catch it...
digitally, that is!
