w52.14.2: Bakers in Training

Had a chance to spend some time with the kids @Panera Bread’s – Bakers in Training (B.I.T.) kids program. As Panera puts it – it’s an introductory culinary experience for kids.

Surely kids had a good time touring the restaurant, scoring their French baguette, and enjoying a monster cookie from their bakery.

Shot this as my friends kids were taking turns in scoring their baguettes.

w52.14.1: Spindles

Where did the time go? Last was a busy week and didn’t have much time to shoot. Actually I did shoot but thought none wasn’t blog worthy 😉

Shot these spindles on a recent visit to the park close home. I was debating on the title for this post as it would fit for simplicity, monochrome, white etc. But decided to go with spindles…

w52.13.1: Black-eyed Susan

Continuing with my summer blooms shots 😉

Shot this at a park close home. As I was experimenting with my POV, I noticed the lighting on this particular plant was interesting. There were tall grasses behind these bushes and with the evening sunlight half of this particular bush was in shade and the other half was well-lit.

Really liked the way the lighting turned out in this shot. I think it gives a feel that this bloom was lit by a flash.

w52.12.3: Coneflower

Shot this coneflower at a park close home while waiting for my daughter to return from her chess club meet this evening.

w52.12.2: Itsy bitsy spider

It’s been a while since I last posted a macro shot and as I was looking for a macro subject this evening, I spotted this itsy bitsy spider on our porch.

Used Sigma 150mm macro lens for this shot.

w52.12.1: Phlox

Phlox is in full bloom in our front yard.
Shot this phlox bloom late this afternoon on a hot muggy summer day.

What do you see?

w52.10.5: What do you see?

Another shot from my recent trip to the zoo – perhaps the last one in this series 😉

Shot this as my kids where watching giraffe  in the Red Rocks area of the zoo.

w52.10.4: Flying High

Shot this hot air balloon in mid-air as we were leaving Faust Park in Chesterfield last evening.

I bet there will be plenty of photo ops for folks flying the hot air balloon. Makes me wonder if they are photogs 🙂

w52.10.2: Pair of fish

Another shot from my recent visit to the St. Louis zoo. These are fresh water fishes in a huge “cave like” tank housed just outside River’s Edge area.

w52.10.1: Gazing…

Shot this during my recent visit to the St. Louis zoo. Besides animals/birds, St. Louis zoo houses Missour’s fresh water fishes in a huge “cave like” tank just outside River’s Edge area.

As I soon as I saw folks gazing at the huge cat fishes I want to take a shot at the scene  besides shooting fish(es) alone. So had to wait for the crowd to move out for this shot.
