Day 49: holy picture day, batman!

Today, my pictures fall into three categories. The first category is:
While I Was Walking Home:

I like the nearly black tree against the puffy white clouds and bright blue sky. I also like the neat angle. This is one of my favorites for today.


This (and the following ones) is part of a house/lot that is near my own home. I'm not sure how much of it belongs to which people (there's two houses connected (like a duplex) and a lot of land surrounding both), but there's a lot of really cool-looking stuff associated with this area, like my pyrocanthus bushes. So, this is a little stream.


I imagine there will be a stream, here, too, once the snow melts a little more, but I'm not sure. Maybe it's just an indentation in the ground and not a stream-bed.


And here we are from the side looking into maybe the "other" yard.


And this is looking into the same area, but from above, where the pyrocanthus bushes are. This is where the guy whose step-dad owns this area (the area pictured here, not sure about the stream and all that) came and asked me if I worked for the state, because apparently, there's some issues about whether or not his step-dad has managed to fulfill all state regulations about something-or-other yet. We chatted for a bit, and I told him I just like taking pictures, and I wished I'd had some kind of card that I could give him, so he could visit my site, and see the pictures I've taken of his property, but alas. He told me to keep taking pictures, so I did.


I like this picture better than the other. But there's this little pond down there, and a little pavilion, and his step-dad has an RV he parks down there, and it's all very cool. I would live down there if I could ...

Now, here's category #2:
I Was Bored At The Laundromat

Plus, I've wanted to take pictures of clothes drying anyway, it seemed like it would be a good picture. Now I'm not so sure. I think the washers would be more interesting, but the sideloaders with the see-through doors are more expensive, so I use the top-loaders, and it's less interesting.


And my darks ...

Category #3 is:
While I Was Waiting For The Bus

It was an exceptionally nice day, with a gorgeous sky, so here I am taking pictures at the bus stop.


Yay, more tree-and-clouds-and-blue-sky!


I love the odd angle on this one. Odd angles, macros, and bright colors are my favorite things to photograph. This is perhaps another of my favorites of today's pictures ...


And, in case you didn't believe me, here's a picture OF the bus stop.


I looked at this picture later, while deciding which pictures to include for oday, and which ones to leave out, and I could not remember what I was taking a picture of. I think it's the house. I think I thought the house just looked cool. Or something.


And this is where I do laundry. It's called the Sunshine Center. It's on 1100 E, just south of 1300 S.
I remember looking at the sign along the top, where they list their various services (because some guy disturbed me while I was folding my clothes to ask if they did dry cleaning, and since I never dry clean my clothes (and don't work there), I had no idea, and said so, and he left, without trying to find out the answer to his question from someone who might actually know), and saw the 'tanning salon', and for a moment (because my mind was on textiles and things worn) I had this image of them tanning leather in the back, and I thought that was SO COOL!
But, yeah, I don't think that's what they mean.


And more on perspectives and angles and whatnot.

Very productive camera-day, it more than makes up for my other (less-productive) camera-days of the rest of the month: 15 photos.
