18 February 2018 Winter in Mason I took a walk around my neighborhood documenting some of the Winter scenes. I also concentrated on using my most recent lens purchase, the celebrated Olympus 75/1.8 lens. In addition to the regular small photos and corresponding moderate size images in a popup window I also have provided full size high resolution photos for 12 of the photos. The full sized images vary in size from approximately 3 megabytes to 9 megabytes. Go to: Winter in Mason |

4 May 2018 Annual Commercial Bank Mason 5K Run/Walk This year marked my 9th straight year participating in the Mason 5K race, now sponsored by Commercial Bank. Last year I wasn't in good shape for the walk and achieved my worst time. This year, as part of my New Year's Resolution to lose 20 pounds, I spent some time in the gym on the treadmill and have built up some stamina. That really helped on that final three blocks, which is very much up hill. I only improved by 1:20 from 46:48 to 45:27 but I'll take it. BTW, I have lost 8 pounds so far.

5 May 2018 Spring Fling Another Spring, another Mason Spring Fling! And what a day for it, sunny with mild temperatures. There was a huge turnout and everyone seemed to be having a great time. As usually, I bought enough goodies, mainly from the church ladies, to continue my enjoyment for many days. Go to: Spring Fling |

4 July 2018 July the 4th This year I took it easy on the 4th. I only spent a little time at the parade taking a number of record shots. I spent more time at the annual car show and focused on interesting photos without regard to record shots. These ventage car shows I've been to usually have a plethora of interesting details, reflections, colors, etc. and can be fun. What you see on the July 4th web page is my idea of photographic art. I have a great time. |
