Almost Made It Photos #3

This is likely my last batch of "almost made it" photos - though I may post one or two that I uncover in the coming months.

I've started thinking about a new photo project, but haven't made any decisions.  I think it is going to take a while to find the "right" thing.  It definitely won't be a "picture a day for a year" project, though!

Here's the latest (and last) batch:

A Day At The Beach

Delicate

Solo Flower

Boston Reflections

"I'm King of the World!"

Karen

Yellow Cap

Almost Made It Photos #1

Through the course of my 366 days project often I had a tough time choosing between several photos for a single "photo of the day" slot.  It helped me "edit", certainly, and when I made my choice, I didn't second guess.  What I did do, though, was save off my tough choices for the future.  Well, now that the project is over I went through my 2nd place photos - about 40 of them in total.

Here's 7 of them.  I may post more periodically.  

Fishing Plug Bokeh

John Belushi Gravestone

Mad Martha's Ice Cream Cones

Floating Flower

John Copley Statue

Orange and Black

Purple Haze

Week 44 - Post-vacation Inspiration

Boy, it was tough finding inspiration this week after a week in St. John, where inspiration was all around me.  Thankfully we have 50 degree days - Spring-like, without the flowers.

Week 21 - Pre-Derby Week

It's September and it is the week before the 35 day Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby (www.mvderby.com for details!).  This is my favorite time of the year - the weather is usually great, the water warm, the tourists gone, and the fishing good.  What more can you ask for?
