Skip-Bo! It's a catch up post.

Apparently it's Mercury in Retrograde right now and that plays havoc with all things electronic and also with communications. I'm pleading Mercury interference shenanigans as why I missed two days in posting photos here.
For reasons I still can't figure out my big Nikon camera decided it was no longer speaking with my Mac and it took me a bit to figure out that I now have to take photos over to the PC, download them, change their names and put them on a memory stick, then upload them back to my Mac to keep them all in the same library.
Thus there was a lot of yelling and cursing over the past two days, but not a lot of photos popping up. Needless to say, I now have a satisfactory work-around and thus...we have photography!

So here's today's photo:

And yesterday's as well:

Can you guess the theme of these two photos? 

 That's right! It's Zucchini maaaaaaadness up in here right now! 

August 6th

August 5th has begun beautifully...

It's a beautiful night...

Today's trip to the Asian supermarket..

I had to go to the Ranch 99 today for a couple of things that I couldn't get anywhere else. Since I have this photo challenge going on, I made sure my iPhone was out and ready to document the many cool things there are to see there.

Fresh squid, for example....

And shrimp...

Rows of fish caught earlier this morning.

And a section Ree and I have dubbed the "fish head special." 

Kitsune is unimpressed with paparazzi

A little bit pressed for time today so I went with the obvious - one of the beautiful subjects who lounge around my studio.

August 1st

Today's photo brought to you courtesy of summer and my garden:

It will begin by breaking..

August breaking, actually.

A friend on Google + shared this link with me: The August Break and since I'm always looking around for ways to keep myself inspired and my vision fresh, I thought it sounded like a whole lot of fun.

The basic premise is simple: share one photo (or more) a day for every day in August as a way to be more present in your own life for a month.

Heck yes!  Sign me up!

So as of Monday, August the Oneth, I will be posting a photo a day here every day for a month. Judging from the things I've photographed in the past, the photographs that will show up here could be just about anything - something glittery that caught my eye, flowers in bloom, old junker cars, cats, dogs, kids playing in the park, people whose faces I liked, places I've been, reference photos I've snapped for my illustration work et cetera.
 I never know what will trigger the muse, and that's part of the joy of it.

I've dusted off the little spy cam, uploaded an HD photography app to my iPhone and even got Big Bertha the Nikon DX out of her comfortable nest in the photography duffel bag.
Have memory cards, will shutterbug!

Heck, we'll shutterboogie!
