<p>A good first Wednesday of August to you, Nikonia. And a special welcome to the several new contributors we've seen in the last few weeks. It's always great to see our weekly world tour reach into some new directions and different experiences. <br /><br />Speaking of seeing the world ... no exotic excursion, here. Just a pleasant Sunday morning prowling around the Baltimore harbor area, with a stop in Fells Point for a great breakfast. This view catches a couple lingering in the shade between two harbor-side buildings, escaping just for a moment from a very hot sun. Yes, I was playing tourist. Where'd you take your Nikon gear last week? Share a photo! </p><div></div>

<p>Hello Everybody,<br>

thank you very much for the kind comments on my photo last week. <br>

This week my photography club had a special theme, Pastels. I've asked my make up artist Rachel to pose for me, as she has the most beautiful auburn hair, that pairs up very well with pastels. I used a lot of marshmallows for this shoot and also asked Rachel to create an eye make up resembling the swirly pattern in the sweets. Here is the result.<br>

Have a lovely week and I look forward to your submissions.<br>

<p>I took this photo of a hummingbird moth while weeding in my garden. Yes, I have my camera and macro around my neck while I weed~ doesn't everyone? My husband thinks I am strange and hold no large expectations of actual weeding being done by me while out in the gardens, lol. Thanks for the kind words on my last weeks entry. Have a great Wednesday.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday, everybody! </p>

<p>I have another dog picture today -- I rarely have a chance to photograph anyone else, but dogs (especially my golden retriever T-Bone pictured here) never say "no."</p><div></div>

<p>In-flight aircraft - US Air Force - Osprey, CV-22 ... and a bit of Photoshop.</p><div></div>

<p>In honor of the new Smurf movie, my contribution this week is of a blue tree I came across while walking through a nursery in Washington. There was no one around to ask, and it wasn't on prominent display or for sale, so I can only assume it's real. Never seen one of these before.</p><div></div>

<p>Spent 2 weeks mountaineering, climbing, hiking etc... this summer. Here is a snap from one of our first ascents.</p><div></div>
