Nikon Wednesday 2013: #40

<p>Wow, so many great pics already. Lex, that kitty series is great!</p>

<p>Panayotis - you're lucky to have a beach that even allows dogs. Great action shots!</p>

<p>For me it's my son, doing a "I got birthday money!" dance.</p><div></div>

<p>And in the category of attractive nuisance, maybe? The partygoers! :)</p><div></div>

<p>a Very happy Wednesday to everyone, and a good autumn as well! This past weekend i was up at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut for the season finale of the Grand Am racing series. The competition was very good this season, and the championship was determined at this race. This was also the last ever Grand Am race because the series has been mereged with the ALMS series for next year. this first image is the Action Express racing Corvette DP entry driven by Burt and Brian Friselle, setting up to pass the Stevenson Motorsports Camaro GT-R.</p><div></div>

<p>Second image is the #90 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette driven by Richard Westbrook and Ricky Taylor leading the Chip Ganassi with Felix Sabates BMW Riley driven by Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas</p><div></div>

<p>Finally the championship winning Wayne Taylor Racing #10 Corvette DP car driven by Max Angelelli and Jordan Taylor.</p><div></div>

<p>Here are a few from a wedding last week.</p>

<p>Greetings from the depths of Northern Ontario.<br>

We travelled the north and south shores of the St. Lawrence River for 3 weeks in September.<br>

Here's a small sampling the beaches between Tadoussac and Baie-Comeau.</p><div></div>

<p>This was a fun shot taken while on the ferry from Tadoussac to Baie-Ste-Catherines. Glad I had a UV filter on. That's salt water on it.</p><div></div>

<p>This would be a great way to explore the Saguenay fjord.<br>

By the way, love John P's last shot of the deer leaping!</p><div></div>

<p>No nuisances, but with the rain and change in weather, one would think it is spring around here. So here is a series of what birds, bees and educated fleas do. Apparently their arthropodian cousins all want in on it.<br>

Thanks for the comment on the running, leaping deer. kind of looks like he's auditioning for a job for Christmas Eve. LOL</p>

 

<p>Oh, it's Wednesday already? Almost missed this one!</p>

<p>Great shots, wow, this thread has it all - cats, dogs and other critters, kids and jedi padawans, beautiful landscapes and people! I shall add this one to the mix, not surprisingly it's a shot of our puppy, but this time with her mom. Oh, and thanks Lil for your nice words on last week's thread! </p>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p>Really good stuff this week. I 'cheated' on this one--made with a Fuji X-E1 and a Nikkor 105 f2.5. I think that counts?</p><div></div>

"Attractive nuisance" of a pretty little balerina...<div></div>

<p>Being a port city, Charlestonians are attracted to the rivers for recreation. Attached image shows a dock on the Ashley River on the south side of the Charleston peninsula.</p><div></div>

<p>Oh, yeah! That's a spinning saw blade behind him. Powered by an automotive engine. Just looking at the image makes me cringe!</p><div></div>

<p>Second image is of "spectators" to activities of fishermen & crabbers.</p><div></div>

<p>Third image shows another river activity, kayaking</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots everyone. John P, love the jumping deer. Panayotis, love the "I Got you Now". Janne beautiful shot.<br>

Mine are some visitors to the garden - Flowers with Critters <br>

<p>greetings to all on this fine Wednesday :)</p>

<p>Very tall, very dead weed I came across on a walk a couple of weeks back. I guess it's a nuisance but I absolutely loved the texture.</p><div></div>

<p>Attended the annual Pataskala Ohio Antique Power Show last Saturday. I suspect the neighbors consider the show a nuisance. Lots of noise, dust, and traffic.</p><div></div>

<p>Another shot from the Pataskala Ohio Antique Power Show. See what happens when a bunch of big boys get together to play with their big toys. These guys spent the whole day digging up the park lawn, moving dirt around, and around, and around. At the end of the day they filled the hole back in and re-seeded.</p><div></div>

<p>The final shot from the Pataskala Ohio Antique Power Show. In addition to the tractor pull, they had a bluegrass band, a local RC model airplane club, food, and all kinds of antique cars, trucks, and tractors.</p><div></div>
