Getting ready to photograph the Woman's March in Ft. Worth on Saturday and

I'm cleaning all the SD storage cards I've go scattered around the place. I'm kinda lazy about organizing and storing images, I mean, they're safely stored on the SD card from the camera so there's no hurry right? I'm going through a half dozen cards so I can have three clean and empty cards; one for the Point n shoot camera and two for the OMD EM1. One of the EM1 cards will have jpeg and raw and the other jpeg only. I will just hand the jpeg card to the event organizer when I'm finished shooting.

Anyway, here are some I'm keeping as soon as I upload them to the HD.


Can you find the third bug? There's actually a lot of 'em.


This was such an entertaining little guy. He hung around for an hour or so riding around on my hand and posing.

Wish I knew what the flower is; looks kind of like a rose to my eye. The 3 bugs were easy!

And of course, I love the praying mantis!

I'll bet you've got some more hidden treasures in the SD cards.

Blooms early spring.

I did find an abandoned house with a Coroner's notice on the door. I forgot I had that and should have a go at interpreting it.

The forecast for Saturday is heavy rain and thunderstorms so I'm not sure the Woman's March will take place. I'm ready and have a poncho to keep me dry--not to worry about the OM, it's rain and dust proof. I'll be there just in case.
