We stopped and watched the cheerleaders warm up for the crowd...





Brutus


My son was really excited to see Brutus and gave him a high five but refused to get his picture taken with him. He went right up to the cute, blonde cheerleader, though!

We finally made it to Skull Session. This is a pep rally/concert with the marching band that is held in the old basketball arena before every home football game. This is a must see event if you ever make it to an OSU football game! Get there early, though, because the stadium fills up fast. I'm a marching band alum so this is always my favorite part of football Saturdays!

The crowd in St. John Arena.


The football team makes an appearance and Coach Tressell fires up the crowd.


After Skull Session the marching band lines up and marches across the street to the stadium for the game.








Me and Brandon after a long afternoon.

After the game and a nap we went outside and enjoyed the nice weather.








I think Brandon had enough of me taking pictures for the day!

After my morning hike I layed around for a while, just taking it easy. I was planning on making a road trip, just didn't know where yet It was up between Grand Falls near Flagstaff and Mission San Xavier in Tucson. I had ventured to Grand Falls last spring only to find it dry. This week Phoenix had a number of storms blow through and on the radar I watched severe storms blow right over the Grand Falls area, so I knew I had a chance at finding water there. The draw of the elusive falls became too great and I decided to make the 3 hour trek up to Flagstaff and over to Grand Falls.

By the way, for those who were around last March, Grand Falls was where I droppped my last digital camera into a canyon

First, the trip up north:
1) Bikers on the 17
2&3) Cinder cone volcanoes along the state road leading into the Painted Desert (please excuse the bug guts on the windshield )

[walterick]

The turnoff to Grand Falls isn't marked; you have to have an atlas and know where you're going. I goofed up and took the bumpy road back to the falls area. Read: washboards! The washboard roads shook the truck to pieces. I got out at one point to snap some pics of the gravel road and the San Francisco Peaks in the distance.

[walterick]

I got excited as I drew near the falls and began seeing water along the road. Mud puddles meant rain and rain meant high chance of having water at the falls this time! I splashed through a huge puddle in the road just to have some fun

Finally, the road terminated at the Little Colorado River, full of water, and the roar of waterfalls in the distance promised me I had picked a good time to come.

(ps Nat: I'll have the truck cleaned up by the time you come to get it honey )

[walterick]

Victory!!

[walterick]

I have some evening to midnight pics to put in here but I have to get the rolls back first

[walterick]

Hey, everyone did great! I look forward to seeing more from everyone!

[walterick]

Oh, yes and there's always time for a self portrait

More to come.

The mall in the morning for hair, and church in the afternoon. Ignore those black bars on the first, that would be the wrong resizing action.

These were the first shots of the day - I think it was before noon. I hadn't gotten out of the house yet.

Instead of going to NYC as I usually do for photo ops, a friend and I went for a ride in NJ.
Along the way...................................

[Liz]

A few more......including twin newborn calves - one twin was nursing the whole time. The other twin could barely stand up - he got a little help. Check the eyelashes on the close-up (crop).

Post your morning pictures through and including lunch here.

Here is another one from my trip. After I get a chance to go through them all on my desktop to check color, I'll be adding more from my trip.

This was taken with the Mamiya 645AFD with the Leaf Digital Back (22 Megapixels!!!) that I got a chance to play with on our trip. That camera (though it costs as much as a car) is AWSOME! This is a comp of two photos- one exposed for the clouds, the other for the car

[zrfraser]

I'll post mine as soon as I get to the darkroom tomorrow. I'll have to develop and scan tomorrow night...hopefully.

Well the 7th was a nice day, the only photo was of the black bird on the sunflower, need longer lense, its a croped and resized 300mm lense. Then Sunday moring chasing the three Loose Horses. The one with the blanket ended up being loose a second time, he jumped the two gates to be with the mare and colt. He ended up in a stall. The mare almost had the roof of her shelter on her head, I had to fix it before I could start the project. Unluckily I don't own the property we just board the horses there:-( Then it started to rain. :-(

I took off right after lunch to go to my daughters. Before I left I stopped by for a couple more images from Founders Day and on the three hour trip I snapped a few images along the way. I finished up the day at my youngest who has just set up her first apartment and served her mother and I our first meal at her new home.

#1 Founders Day crowd.
#2 Young lady with a clogging exhibition.
#3 Little lady and her mother enjoy the Founders Day entertainment.
#4 Goddard Covered bridge along the route to my daughters.

Along the way to my daughters we passed through coal country. Although we need the energy coal provides I wounder about the methods used to mine it. Once at our daughters she proceeded to fix us our first meal in her new apartment.

Rick I can not believe the quality of images that we have in this thread. They are great. I think at this point even before we have all the post in we have to say that this has been a big success. Way to go every one!!!!

I agree OT.....including yours!

This is such great fun! I just love looking at these - and partaking in the fun.......I love NYC - but it was a lot of fun going in the opposite direction yesterday for a change.

Here is a couple more from my morning







We had literally 20 seconds of the light this color, then it just turned to normal sunlight, and the Tufa's (sp?) went back to their normal color:

And this is where I was after the lake until around noon or so. Because of the storm we had the night before, we were treated with some beautiful clouds for the rest of the trip.
