Wired

Ocean, Pipes, Construction, Bulldozer, Smoke Break

Thought this was pretty cool and makes for a good silly Tuesday photo! Over the weekend this bulldozer type machine was picking up the pipes used on the beach for dredging. With the sand pouring out looking like smoke and ashes and the angle the pipe was being lifted it looked to me  like this bulldozer was smoking a cigarette.

Wind Chimes, Amazing Grace, Macro

This wind chime is supposed to play the first 5 notes of the hymn  “Amazing Grace” as it blows in the breeze. I honestly don’t think I have ever really heard it play the notes in the correct order but still it sounds great anyways!

Manlift, Boat, lift, crane, yellow

Another shot from the marina this time of a “manlift”.  I assume this is used to lift workers up high to work on the larger boats.

The Beast had plenty to eat today! We had about a foot of snow today and it devoured it! :)

Spark Plug, Lensbaby, Snow Blower

Another shot of our old and faithful snow blower (An 8HP International Harvester Cadet 268)  from my last post this time of the spark plug. I will probably post a few more photos of this snow blower from different angles as I found it an interesting subject!

Lensbaby Composer, Snowblower

This old snow blower has gotten alot of use this winter and despite its age and rust it still sucks up snow with the best of them. This is one of my better photos from my first time out with my new toy…A Lensbaby Composer!! After seeing some of the things that could be done with this lens on other people’s photoblogs I really liked some of the effects you can create with this lens and decided I wanted one and was lucky enough to get it for my recent birthday. :) It definitely is going to take awhile to fully realize its potential and get better using it but one thing is for sure it is very fun to use!
