| 58/366: Summer Office |
Context: Working on the deck
Notes: I'm not really pleased with the lighting in this shot, but it does mask the fact that my computer is covered in 17th-century-document-dust that just will not go away.

Context: Mount Rushmore after the evening lighting ceremony on a summer night
Notes: I'm not 100% happy with this shot, but neither M. or I got a night shot we were truly pleased with even after playing around with shutter speeds and other settings. I liked this one the most out of the ones that I took after dark.

| 50/366 |

Notes: I didn't have my DSLR with me, so I snapped a quick shot of this kite in the air. I liked how, from the perspective on the ground, it was almost the same height as the flag.

 |
| 47/366: M. Skipping Stones |

Context: I'll have to start learning the names of the mountains here, but they're already becoming useful for orientating myself.

| 40/366: Purge in Process |
Context: Lack of inspiration compelled me to take a shot of what I spent part of my day doing.

| 39/366 |
Context: Summer sky
Notes: I'm a little bit at a loss for subject matter since getting back from Madrid, but I thought this sky was quite lovely. It was certainly nice to eat dinner on the deck underneath of it.

| 38/366: Yummy Strawberries |
Context: Strawberry season has arrived!
Notes: This isn't a great picture, as the lack of light, forced me to use manual focus to get a macro shot. Getting out the tripod would have helped.
