I took this today at the St Louis Zoo. All the animals were out today unlike when we came out at spring Break. I love the on the Giraffe and want to have it blown up as a big print. I am really glad that i bought the Quantaray Lens and i am just amazed at how it worked today.

This was taken after a rain storm.I am going to include this in my "The Rain Project" that i do from time to time. I thought that it was a good reflection of the pine tree in the water. I took this with my Sony H1 5.1Megapixel Cybershot DSC.

This photo, for some reason, reminds me of an old movie back in the 1970s called "The French Connection" at the end of the movie where the man is running through an open building somewhat like this.

Old Buildings in B/W

You are looking at the intersection of 48 South and 481 West in Rural North Carolina. This intersection is about 3 miles from the KOA that we did “tent” camping at for Memorial Day Weekend. You are looking at a rundown General Store and I guess the old dilapidated home of the people that ran the store. I took this in B/W because it looks like a scene from years since forgotten by the hustle and bustle of today’s modern society. Where a general store was the hub of the little farming community and a meeting place for the locals; times were slower then and not as complicated as they are today.

I love how the center flower is in focus and all the rest are out of focus. The sun was hitting the center flower and it really brings out the color. I took this while i was driving around O'Fallon, IL yesterday.
