A Slightly Different Focus

It’s been a screwy couple of weeks, with unexpected details finishing up construction around the house, several folks falling down stairs — including yours truly, hereafter known as “Mr. Grace” (not), and sweet Trish, who did some damage to herself on the trip down (no pun intended) — and an all-too-short visit to Florida. Get [...]

Please note: I’m working backwards, from Friday’s event in downtown Macon, through a friend’s special event last weekend in upstate New York, to the past couple of weeks in Maine — all of which resulted in some great photographs. Despite a going non-stop since getting back, please stay tuned for another post this weekend, then [...]

Last week not only served up a Cocktail Hour hosted by Creighton (aka the Originator) and Carolyn, but in a Thursday-Friday two-fer, Dan Zook’s 42nd birthday.
I took a very few photographs on Thursday, spending more time chatting with some new folks (as the various school seasons get underway, the new teachers and professors have introduced [...]

Cocktail Hour marked its return from the summer hiatus this past Thursday, and I was there with a camera. It was nice to see folks, including hosts Gerald and Autumn, also marking a return — this time, from their trip to England.
Gerald was also using the occasion to start the celebration of his 40th birthday, [...]

Settling in for a long weekend in front of the computer, starting with a combined photography post — involving all of the items mentioned in the title: cocktails, cars, and some “new” cute cats. Four Cs, posted up.
Okay!
Working backwards, I took literally a dozen photographs at Cocktail Hour last night; I don’t know whether I [...]

Enjoyed Cocktail Hour this past Thursday with my good friends Miles and Trish, who hosted the get-together in their Magnolia Street home.
Also appreciated the house cat, Pablo, for not only putting up with the crowd, but participating — mostly:

Photographs of Pablo bookend the fifteen-photograph set, but there’s also good stuff in the middle. Like this:

Love [...]

Update: Links fixed. Sorry for the error!
It’s after midnight Friday, and the promised Garden Tour photographs haven’t been posted yet. Sorry.
As if that’s not bad enough, last night — my first available photo-editing time since getting back in town — was spent out and about, first at Cocktail Hour, then at Mark Brooker’s good-bye party [...]

Enjoyed Cocktail Hour this evening at Kim Wold’s. As my “official” Cocktail Hour postings go, it’s the second in a row for her — but there have been three in the interim that I have not been able to get to.
Sorry.
Meanwhile, many thanks to Kim for hosting. (Again.)
And a familiar-yet-still-cute boy, who tonight, was driving [...]

Please note: I’ve been working on Cherry Blossom Festival Parade, literally, all week. It takes time to sort and develop the best of six hundred photographs, and despite being behind on posting, I needed a break. Thanks for bearing with me.
Update: 73 more photographs are uploading as I type this — check the gallery when [...]

I’ve been way behind on my to-do list recently, which, rather obviously, includes blogging. Many apologies.
Last weekend, rather than take the time to blog, catch up, clean, or anything else, I took an opportunity to clear my head with a longer-than-usual road trip. Part of it was supposed to result in a very cool photostroll, [...]
