Looks like a fun day for the kids. Go Daisy, and a special ribbon to Dad for showing up!

Shutter: 1/50sec -- I usually use 1/60, but then I haven't done many of these. I'll have to try it your way, as mine don't turn out so well!

Thanks for the story. I'll bet you have nice kids. The trouble with telling kids not to grow up too fast is that it never makes sense until you are over the hump and trying to slow down. Same as it ever was, I guess.

That's a really nice story, and one of my favorite photos in your 50-day portfolio so far. Excellent "red on red" (or maroon-on-maroon) shot. Very sharp at the focal point and good use of DOF.

I'm definitely a pack-rat, so I can identify with keeping things long beyond their usefulness.

Trying to catch up on my commenting. A whole row of "Pickle" brand unicycles? Definitely unique.

I'm truly enjoying these glimpses into your life and environment. Keep up the good work!

Classic, and the colors are like a Japanese painting.

Considering how many dragonfly photos are on DPC, I don't recall seeing one with such motion before. It's very cool -- almost like a mechanical thing taking off.

I entirely agree with this assessment! :-)

Just goes to show that it pays to seize the moment. Simple, but really a pretty photo. Good exposure, too.

Holy Moly, beautiful sunrise! Very well done. This would make a great image for a Halloween card.
