Raindrops on Spiderweb


Fossils found in rocks on the shore of Lake Michigan. I’m not sure what the first is, but the second looks like a honeycomb coral.

It’s just a really ornate, interesting-looking building, I thought.

Look at those eyes! They’ve got gold lines in them.

On my recent vacation we went to Door County, WI. There’s a big petting zoo called The Farm just north of Sturgeon Bay that we visited. The girls got to look at and pet the animals. I took pictures.

Raindrops in a Stream
I took this a few weeks ago during a light rainstorm. Unfortunately, my shutter speed (1/25 sec) wasn’t nearly fast enough to capture the ripples without blurring. Even at this size, sized for the web, the blur is apparent. That’s pretty bad. The light was too low and I was having trouble getting the image bright enough. I had the iso set at 800, but in retrospect, I should have set it even higher so I could have gotten that shutter speed up. Oh well, too late now.

my camera’s battery was going dead.
