<p>There's a car show in this parking lot every weekend. These gals (g-ma (owner - paid cash), mom, and baby) showed up LONG after the show was over. You shoulda seen the jaws dropping in the parking lot...</p><div>00TJN4-133219584.jpg.e4bcb2012f7a68fc8de7b39f27c9dea4.jpg</div>

<p>Most of this week was disappointingly wet and gloomy. At a certain point on Wednesday after dinner I was feeling a little stir crazy. Grabbed the K20D, put the bombproof hood on the Voigtlander 125mm, slid on the Metz strobe, setup the tripod and started shooting new growth in the garden. Here are a couple of the keepers. I've been experimenting with modified high-key-ish post-processing that exploits the diffused strobe lighting but doesn't suck the soul of the shot away.</p>

<p>Last Sunday as an early mother's day treat we took my wife to one of her favorite local places, the Kruckeberg Botanical Garden in North Seattle. Art Kruckeberg is a highly respected botanist, professor, and author who, along with his late wife, developed this wondrous multi-acre garden of native northwest plants. It is now a public space and worth the visit for garden design and photography.<br>

This is just one shot of many (gotta love the DA 70mm):</p>

<p>We got a new puppy and as a result our two older dogs are feeling jealous. so we took them to park last friday to play with them, to show them that we still loved them :-))</p>

<p>And as usual we took our cameras with us (my wife and I). this series shows what we do to take pics of our doggies and sometimes other subjects like a frog or some beautiful wild flowers.</p>

<p>Matt - Great way to start off the week! Very well done<br>

Dave - Wonderful turtle, great color.<br>

Steve - Nice simple bubbles, well done.<br>

Tom - Wow talk about BRIGHT. Super eye to catch the greens, I didn't notice it right off.<br>

Michael - I like the soft feeling effect on your first two, but also love the vivid colors & contrast of the white & green in your 3rd one.<br>

<p>OK those are served off-site, were saved a little larger than pnet's 700 pixels, so I'll stop at 2.</p>

<p>As usual a lot of great shots. I really like Michael's flower pics, especially the second one. Well, as Dave mentioned it was a very wet week here in the mid-Atlantic region. Between work and the weather it was not a good photo-week. Here are two from last weekend.</p><div>00TJS9-133267584.jpg.1069ad89522840a9dc6b68a4e359ba2e.jpg</div>

<p>A nice start to the week everyone. For me just one shot,which was for an exhibit I'm in next week (well it took 53 attempts to get it right) but like Michael, it's been raining and dreary here as well.<br /> <a title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting" href="http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bubblestriplets1.jpg" target="_blank" title="ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting"><img src="http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/1027/bubblestriplets1.jpg" border="0" alt="" width="703" height="466" /> </a></p>

<p>Nice wheels Matt.<br /> Dave the turtle is cool. Made me search the shot for a second to figure it out. Did you get my email on the Miramichi fishing?<br /> Steve, I like the graffiti, bit odd but interesting<br /> Tom, nice green Heron shot and the paint shot is fun.<br /> Michael, all nice but the last is excellent.<br /> Subho, Katy poses well. Nice series.<br /> Leo the HDR is a little over the top but interesting.<br /> George. I like the portrait. Great.<br /> Robert, I like the tone of both. The second shot is very nice</p>
