Here are the photos I used as my best five for week two. I don’t think I have done any editing on them, but I probably will before I have to turn them in. I do want to make them as nice as possible.

A Word A Week Challenge-Old
Hey Good Lookin’…
…whatcha got cookin’? Someone’s cookin’ somethin’ up for me…..
Nesting Mother Goose
I was at the pond fishing from my jon boat and came across a Great Northern Goose sitting on her nest.
The rain came down and the water came up…..
I can now agree with NOAA, “the draught is over here in South Carolina”. The rain stopped for a few minutes so I walked down to the pond to turn the bilge-pump on the boat before any more water got in it. My little ole-jon-boat has sunk several times while tied to the cleaning station…partly due to rain and partially due to the pin hole in the bottom. I was surprised to see how high the water level was, never had I seen it so high. The two chairs have been in the same place for five years or so, always on dry land, but not this particular afternoon.
Weekly Photo Challenge-Future Tense
My Grandchildren have decided to raise laying chickens so they can provide fresh eggs for their family!
Continuing Education Program
I recently enrolled in a photography class at Lander University in Greenwood, South Carolina under their Continuing Education program. I had my first class last night. My instructor is Grace Contreras, an accomplished artist and photographer. I thought that I would be spoon fed on how to use my digital camera…Wrong! Instead, she introduced us to “Critiquing Work”, “Principle of Design” and the “Elements of Art”. Oh yeah, and the “color wheel”. I was told to take my camera off Auto and put it on Manual. I ain’t too sure about all that, but I am going to try. This woodpecker, I guess it is a woodpecker, has been beating on this same hole for over a week now. He or she pays me very little attention to me and shows no fear when I come near. Here is an example of the work by Mud, the student photographer! LOL!!! Please feel free to critique my photo.
Weekly Photo Challenge-Lunch
I went fishing Friday even though the wind was blowing fifteen miles per hour with gust up to twenty-five miles per hour. Around 2 o’clock I came ashore to get out of the wind for a while and get a bite to eat. While chowing down on one of my favorite snacks, Vienna Sausage, I scrolled through some emails on my I-phone and saw the weekly Photo Challenge-Lunch, snapped a photo of what I was dining on with my phone…
Weekly Photo Challenge-Lost in the Detail
Looking closer at the Dollar we see it is more than just paper.
Messing Around
Sunday was a gorgeous day, 62 degrees and the fish were biting. The last two days have been cold, windy and rainy. Needless to say I didn’t go fishing, instead I stayed home, read some blogs and got inspired to work on photo manipulation….I tinkered around with the background…This is what I came up with.
