Rainy Sunday Morning

I happened to be out and about this morning, camera in hand of course (sporting my favorite 50mm lens), and was lucky enough to catch these gems. Some days I come home with nothing - people see me with my camera and say, "Oh, are you out taking pictures?" "Nope, just taking a walk but I always have a camera with me, just in case." 
Rose, Plantingfield Way
Clematis trailing all over town means September is close at hand.
Rob Coad, seemingly just waiting for someone to come along and take his picture.
Memorial Wharf
Drat it all, I wasn't fast enough for these girls, not with an umbrella in my hand, anyway. I like this one nonetheless.

Let the Light Shine

Edgartown's historic replica lanterns get cleaned once a year. Today was the day.

More Street People

 

Testing new lens and focus method, day two. So far, so good. Works well for walk-by shootings (though not entirely undetected).
Smitty and John, headed home after dinner out.
Newlyweds Rob and Meghan, apparently all is well, one month in. 
Fellow traveler, John.
All styles welcome.
Waiting, and thinking about next month's credit card bill no doubt.

I Love People

 

How wonderful to see the human face again. One thing I know for sure: people need people.

Mr. Tom Kent. "Want to go for a boat ride?" "Where to?" "Oak Bluffs." Next time, please, but let's just make it a tour of the harbor?
Getting ready to do some magnet fishing. Never heard of it. The next big thing?
Owen and his scup.
Robin, Lulu, Sophia, and Mike. I photographed Robin and Mike ten years ago when their dog, Truman, was their only child. 
Debbie and Louisa, fresh from their show at Old Sculpin.
"Hi, beautiful people. Are you husband and wife?" (nervous giggles) "No, girlfriend and boyfriend." Oops, I always manage to say the wrong thing.
Love these juvenile bicycle marauders. 
Go big or go home. Why have one tattoo when you've got an entire body to cover, as Caitlyn is well on her way to do. Impressive.

Saturday Morning Free Form

An early morning roam-about on the bike, toting the new TG6 and the Lumix (for learning and comparison purposes); foggy beginnings with hints that the sun would be breaking through (and it did, turning out sunny and hot).
