Day 96 - 4/6/2011

skateboarding

My photographic creativity and motivation has wained a bit during the past week or so.  Perhaps it's because I haven't been any place new to take pictures.  Most of the flowers on the campus are gone, but then, I have probably exhausted my viewers with flower photos (especially since I can't really play around too much with the dof on my camera).

Luckily, I had my camera out as I was walking across campus and happened to see a student take off on his skateboard.  Unfortunately, I was a little too far away with my point-and-shoot to get a really good shot, so I had to crop quite a bit to get a decent shot and then the photo isn't as clear as it should be.  However, the picture came out with a bit of a textured look as if it were painted on canvas.  So, I said to myself, this will do considering my limitations (and the fact that I only took two other pics today).

I have been really busy with my job, which is causing me to work some late hours.  By the time I get home and take care of some other business, I haven't had much time to visit your blogs.  I really miss that, but I hope to catch up with you soon.  Please know that I haven't forgotten you and I hope to catch up this weekend.  See you all soon!

Day 46 - 2/15/2011

Today it was absolutely gorgeous outside.  The weather was so pretty that some students took their bookbags outside and sat out on the lawn to study.  I can't say that I blame them.  It was just too pretty to be inside, but that's where I was--behind my computer.  :-(

Day 28 - 1/28/2011

Many of the Spring Hill College students drive cars on campus, some of them quite expensive cars;  but you will also see other students, and faculty, who peddle their way around.  In the past few years, Spring Hill's campus has become primarily a walking campus.  So, one either walks across campus or rides a bicycle, unless you are fortunate enough to have a golf cart. (Okay, I will admit to driving my car to a meeting if the meeting is all the way on the other side of the campus.) As a result of so many bikes on campus, we now have quite a few bike ramps placed here and there for the campus communities' use. In fact, anyone parking a bike on the sidewalk instead of in a bike ramp will be fined.  Even the College's president, Fr. Salmi, rides his bicycle to work most days, leaving his presidental parking space empty.  I've never noticed, I wonder if he has a presidential bike space.  Hmmm, maybe I'll have to find out.
