2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 175 - 8-30-2014

This picture shows why I need a GOOD long range lens.  Went over to the Callihan Farm and the biggest buck of the night comes out and I couldn't get a good shot of it. :(  Could have dropped him with my rifle though. :)

I liked this shot today so much that I did no more than just add the border to it in post-production.

A photo for my sister.  She's a shroom head.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 172 - 8-27-2014

Laying out floor panels for our addition on the computer.  Leaves little time for photos today.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 171 - 8-26-2014

Playing around with the Paper Camera app again.

And now my son, Collin, has done the ice bucket challenge.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 169 - 8-24-2014

I finally got roped into doing the ALS ice bucket challenge by my brother-in-law.  I decided I had better use it as an opportunity for a photo.

That is one cold, wet man right there.  Glad that they didn't invent this challenge in Winter.

When you take a photo every day, you start to see the world a little differently sometimes.  This simple scene caught my eye when I went over to the Callihan Farm to swap out the card in my game camera this afternoon.  It's a huge fallen down tree with the remnants of it standing in the foreground.  Caught my eye for some reason.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 167 - 8-22-2014

Decided to get unrealistic this evening with an already funky looking sky.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 166 - 8-21-2014

I sure hope that these are changing because this tree is dying or something.....

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 165 - 8-20-2014

Up close and personal with one of the most dreaded plants of allergy sufferers worldwide.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 164 - 8-19-2014

Easily the smallest flower that I have ever photographed.  Found it amongst the moss in the back yard.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 163 - 8-18-2014

A simple flower shot today.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 162 - 8-17-2014

My Father is heading back to China tomorrow morning.  This is my little sister waving goodbye to me sporting her little suitcase.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 161 - 8-16-2014

Took a float on the Clarion River today.  We had a great time.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 160 - 8-15-2014

For the first time, I forgot to post a photo.  This one is from Saturday.  We took a float on the Clarion River.  This is my faithful crew (my son and my brother).  Me... well I'm relaxing and letting them steer the boat.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 159 - 8-14-2014

Sometimes it's amazing the many little worlds you can find in your own back yard.  That might actually make a cool photo project.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 158 - 8-13-2014

Dipped off onto a side road on my way home this evening. Caught a glorious landscape and snapped a photo.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 157 - 8-12-2014

A Japanese Beetle. A bug who's nastinest is only surpassed by 2 of his brethren... the tick and the mosquito.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 156 - 8-11-2014

Didn't feel like taking a "normal" photograph for the third day in a row.  Took this in my yard with the Paper Camera app for my Android.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 155 - 8-10-2014

Found these flowers blooming in the woods on the edge of my Grandma's back yard.  Thought it would be another perfect opportunity for a little Photoshop post-processing fun.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 154 - 8-09-2014

Was in New Bethlehem today for the Clarion County Trails Association's Outdoor Adventures 2014.  This event was to celebrate the Redbank Valley Trail being named PA's trail of the year.  I took a few moments to snap some photos down by Redbank Creek.  When I got home and saw this one, I knew I had to get a little radical with it in post production.  I like it.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 153 - 8-08-2014

Tried to do a few photos this evening with my new Niece Ariana this evening.  She only cooperated on a few of the shots.  This is a cute one.  I really need to get a cheap portable lighting setup for stuff like this though.  She looks a little bored with the project in this one.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 152 - 8-07-2014

Decided to take a close-up of the house that is part of the lighthouse scene depicted in the chainsaw art piece that we purchased this past Spring.  I really like the house and the stone steps leading up the cliff to it.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 151 - 8-06-2014

Got home a few minutes ago and found my newest Niece, Arianna, in my wife's arms.  Poor thing has no idea the picking that she will most certainly endure under Uncle Devin.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 150 - 8-05-2014

A nice picture of some flowers at my Grandma's.  She always has something blooming.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 149 - 8-04-2014

This is a sentimental photo for me.  This is the last bow that my Grandfather hunted with before he had to switch over to a crossbow.  I had new limbs and cables and strings put on it.  I will kill a buck with it this archery season.  I haven't archery hunted in years, so I have to knock the dust off and get out and stab one.  Shot a few nice groups.  Still have to adjust the sights a bit as you can see in the photo, but I am definitely shooting a tight pattern which is good after being away from it so long.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 148 - 8-03-2014

Was a dreary, rainy day.  But I still managed to find some beauty in it.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 147 - 8-02-2014

Had a family get-together at my Sister's house.  My niece and little sister were eating cupcakes and just generally harassing me at the time of this photo.

2014 Daily Photo Project - Day 146 - 8-01-2014

Went to see a Halestorm concert with a friend.  Great concert.  Wish I would have had the good camera though.  Had to snap photos with the Droid.
