The first pic looks like a cross between a Dobie and a roo! :mrgreen:

That is neat...I can't say I've ever heard of one, either. The mom looks to have some pretty dark markings on her head. Thanks for sharing, chas! :thanks:


And, since it is that time o year, I couldn't resist.... :blush:

My daughter announced last night she wants to get into photography and wants a good camera for her next birthday.

Somehow I don't see her getting shots like that around these parts :nea:

Beautiful photos, thanks for posting.

First black fawn I've ever seen. Very nice pictures.

You can only see as good as your eyes are.
It takes good glass to get pictures like these. I can't spend the money for expensive lenses, so I'm stuck trying to post edit everything. But even so, there are limits, and I can't edit what ain't there.
So...does she want a camera with a $300 processor and a $200 lens? Or does she know enough to want a camera with a $5000 processor and a $4000 lens? Of course, she'll need to accessorize, y'know.
Lucky you!

We wanted to get our daughter aquainted with the local community college, after being home schooled for 7 years, so we enrolled her in a photography class during her last highschool year. We figured we'd start her out with something fun that she was interested in and not too demanding. It was more for getting her adjusted to education in the world outside the home. There were prerequistites, you gotta complete #1 before you are eligable to enroll in #2, etc. The first class she was developing black & white film. I remember thinking what a waste. In todays digital world, what's the point of learning to develope B&W prints? The class was cheap, but the materials were breaking me. But to my enlightenment, I saw an amazing difference in her "art" once she began to know what she wanted to do with the camera.
Now as she's beginning her journey into deeper waters, she must work through a gauntlet of English and Math. For her English class she had some kind of assignment that required blog with photos. Everyone else in her class pulled pictures off the internet, but Michelle went out and took her own pictures and her teacher and fellow classmates were fascinated with her presentation. She scored highest for that assingment. And I suppose it never hurts to leave a positive impression on the score keeper, eh?
The point of all this? What I'm trying to say is, do all you can to encourage art and creativity in your kids. It will enable them throughout the rest of their lives, and there is no better investment. If your baby girl wants to take pictures, give her what she needs to run with that.

Never seen a black deer before. But I guess it makes sense, I did see a black santa one time. Sorry, no pictures.

I know what your saying about encouraging the art in kids, Ron and doing all we can but this comes from the girl that wanted to do tennis, so we got her in the summer program at the local park, paid the 200 bucks then when it came time to start she refused to do it.

Next came piano, she REALLY wanted lessons. You know the scenario, please, please Daddy! We even have a piano teacher across the street said she'd teach at 1/2 price. Never happened.

Not long after that she said she still had an interest in piano so my Mom said she never used her electronic one so I set that up for her.
Hah, she'd banged on it once or twice and lost interest all together.

She had a good digital camera for the time, lost the battery and charger.

Her level of photography is a sunset she caught on her phone. "Isn't that cool Daddy? I want a good camera for my birthday so I can get into photography!"
I told her if she actually wants to do this I'll get her a $100 camera to work with for awhile then when she has made the effort to pursue the art further we'll move up to better equipment.
She is very street wise in many ways but still a kid in many others and doesn't realize what commitment takes.
Our kids have had it way too easy for a long time.

No Joe, that's just my internet image. I'm really just a burned out hippy who lives in frustration.

The doctor told me these meds might make me start talk'n stupid. You guys let me know if I'm doing it again and I'll put the keyboard in the drawer and read with the mouse for awhile.

My favorite thing is to have a few beers and stare at the Christmas tree and think of all the cool stuff I plan on doing in the future, like riding my bike to the West Coast through the Western mountains in Colorado and traveling like Bronson did, when I was a little guy Bronson was my hero..My real hero was my oldest brother John, he rode since I can remember and he is gone now, and the bike you see on here was his and I took it and built up nice..So Merry Christmas John..RIP..And Merry Christmas to all you cool dudes that love Goldwings..

 

[joedrum]
