CHOP-O-MATIC

You know, some days it doesn't pay to get out of bed. A Full Moon, a clear sky, and you think I could get a descent shot without a tripod. But no, a giant bug has to fly by just as I snap my one opportunity, and ruins the shot. I'll tell you! I must be under a black cloud. This ever happen to you?

    Came via Lois' blog where you commented about water features in shopping malls. I think even though water is according to Feng Shui a sign or prosperity, many western business man also have feng shui consultants come a do a feng shui make over. That is why, even in Western Word, water still features a lot.

    No, of course not. I don't even try to shoot the moon so why would something so great happen to me?

    You have ronco on the brain, I fear. The only cure for that is a better night's sleep and no info-mercials.

    I see someone has a 'Lazy Photographer Project' even there, and at night. Or are these the world-famous black helicopters... Beware!

    Too funny! They grow the bugs bigger in Northern Michigan, I guess ;)

    I bet that was one loud bug too! As for getting out of bed, I guess that depends on who one is sharing it with.

    Those damn bugs. I didn't think you had those in Michigan!

    You don't miss the Florida rain? The cooling rain? The lightning strikes? Sheesh!

    Just be glad you weren't in Connecticut over the past few days!

    Well, there are some who would prefer to have a photo of the chopper rather than the moon.
