Here are my 6 to Noon pics. I'll admit it I don't get up and at it as early as some of you but I do end up going to work everyday. At any rate here are a few from this morning. First of all a little breakfast of Joy's home make sour dough bread and asparagus quiche topped off with the ever present cup of coffee. After a short walk to work, the morning paper and a second cup of coffee in the efficient carry cup. I know eventually I'll get down to work.
Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

One of my walks around a Camilla bush.
I been watching this same flower bloom for the last week or so and today the rain paused enough to get a close up of it.

Had a few friends over for dinner. Made turkey sloppy joes, then we moved our sofa and love seat out to our carport because we were getting a new sofa the next morning.

Once home I made my usual evening walk to Publix shopping center to pick out something for dinner. The park across the street from where I live was hopping! Folks playing tennis, guys enjoying a pick-up soccer match, and families enjoying the newly installed playground equipment. Less than half a block away, life more somber, but supermarket romance seems to be alive and well
Ok. Made it back from shooting the test roll. Now I gotta develop it. First I unloaded the test camera. Then I better get my chemicals into the water bath...whoa, there almost the right temp already. Better hurry and get my darkroom stuff ready. Check. Next, I load the film on the reel.
And the process continues. I just learned something. It's really hard to take a photo of yourself while you're trying to agitate a developing tank.
First shot is an attempted shot of me agitating the developing tank. Next is the best part of developing film, the first look. Mmm...smells like fixer. Woohoo! The camera works! Third shot is my super fancy high tech film dryer...yes, that is duct tape. It saves me lots of time on the computer, because it has a filter that eliminates about 90% of the dust I usually have to clone out. Last shot is the film hanging. I let it hang for half an hour or so, after ten minutes in the dryer, so it can straighten up a little. Now I get to start scanning...the worst part.
I finally got a chance to take some pics in this segment of the day. I picked Joy up for lunch and went to the in place for lunch. As usual is was very busy took a while to work our way through the line. A group of Amish women were there and presented a rather unique opportunity for a picture with their black bonnets lined up on a ledge as they ate.

Later in the afternoon I made a quick trip to the drug store to pickup a prescription and then went by to check on the guys I have building a back porch and new deck on the house. Joy picked me up after work and we made a quick stop at the drive in bank before she went off to Curves and I gathered up the macro and did an hours walkabout in the hood. I did a couple of hundred pics on the walkabout but don't think I'll get any of those posted tonight.
