Memorial Day Weekend

I am going to take a self-imposed rest from technology for a few days. I'm not kidding anyone, I'll check my mail a few times.

I carried my camera with me all week long, took a bunch of photos, and didn't like a single one. I was trying to catch a Blue Heron that I had seen flying around the lake behind my office. But he was elusive, and apparently very camera shy. As a photographer, this has been a hard lesson to learn.  You cannot control your subject, you have to catch it in action. 

Last night my son and I took a bike ride to the Cape St. Claire main beach. As soon as we arrived, my son found a friend from class and off he went to play. I captured the photo above with the phone on my camera. While it's not the best image ever published, it's by far the best I took all week. The image was captured and edited entirely on the phone. 

Enjoy the long Memorial Day weekend. I am going to take a self-imposed rest from technology for a few days.  I'm not kidding anyone, I'll check my mail a few times.  However, I am officially signing off of my laptop/desktop for the duration of the weekend.  See you Tuesday.
