Hummus and more

Kewaunee Vacation?

Well it wasn't all vacation but I did get quite a few pictures taken.















The evening sky over the Blomer farm in Onamia as seen from Jo and Al's Barnhouse.

Dad doing what he does best













The skies were pretty vivid













Geneva and Mom up on the foredeck













A wind farm from far out at 300mm. We were about 3 miles away from the farm, this was the best shot I could get from the water.













Pops driving

Working in the Kitchen

Anna and I have been doing some house repair recently. We repainted the kitchen ceiling after pulling out a few cabinets and put up a stainless steel dish rack for drying dishes where those cabinets were. Then we started the big job. . . Stripping, staining and polying the cabinets. Here's a shot of the stained bottom cabinets before the poly went on.

Trellis I made on the back deck

Moar Pictures.

I've got some zoom on the camera now so I grabbed a picture of this hummingbird.















Here you can see about how far the lil guy is away. He was on the very top of that tree that hasn't leafed out yet in the middle of this shot.
















Another shot of the lil guy.















My Hiabiscus Plant keeps flowering pretty. Wish it would do better on the growing leaves part.













The black bamboo is going crazy and doing what it's supposed to. See those husked over shoots? It grows up as a stalk coated in those, probably 2' per day. Then it branches out over about a week and now, the ones that are about 1.5 weeks old are STARTING to leaf out. It's a wierd, ugly process but. . . they'll look nice soon.













I like Ruby Glow. . Anna knows it's scientific name, I do not.

I have new lenses!

It takes pictures, THIS BIG!















Anna thinks we should go here soon.














She's not so sure about this place though.














I can zoom out now. (actually, this isn't ALL the way out)














Or zoom in (this isn't all the way in either)














Or take pictures of the moon. Zoom in on this =)














I just thought this was a fun shot.

Beez!

These knees have some bees!

Not all the bees were IN the cage. . Went pretty well except they didn't put the candy in with the queen and she got away from us. . I wasn't expecting that one. We'll have a new queen on the 11th.
