Regarding yesterday’s shot, I was only a few feet from the squirrel when I took that shot. There was glass between us, but she is just very bold. I no longer frighten her, I am only a nuisance to her when I chase her away. She always returns within minutes. I moved the birdfeeder off the porch yesterday; too much mess being dragged into the living room now that warm weather is here and the kids are going in and out of the door all day. The feeder now hangs on a green garden hook. It is only 8:00 am, but the squirrel has been trying to climb that hook for an hour now to get to the feeder.
These are the first shots from the scanned negatives that my wonderful lab scanned for me. I’m hoping to receive another three rolls of scans any day now. The images aren’t as large as when I scanned them, and we haven’t figured out if we’re going to be able to make them any larger or not.
I was driving around with different shots in mind (again, while the oldest were at music lessons) and drove right past these two workers trying to install a new window into the storefront of this law office. I made a sharp turn into the parking lot across the street and set up my tripod and zoom lens to capture these three shots. They were certainly struggling with this large piece of glass, and although it appears they got the glass in on the third shot, I watched them take two other attempts at it before they took the glass back to their truck. I left after that. A half hour or so later when we drove back again, the window had been repaired and looked good as new.

Very nice set of photos. I like the motion blurs in the first one. Very cool.
cool action shots, but where is all the safety wear, no gloves or hard hats...
:o)
Nice shots.
I hope you can figure out how to get them larger. :)
very nice series...be careful with bare hands!
The pictures turn out great. I wonder how you make them bigger? I'm looking forward to the next three rolls.
big piece of glass, pretty heavy, nice capture
Nice capture of the process of putting the window in.
Lovely shots, surprised to learn about the poor safety standard.
What it makes an impression to me more is that they do not take to gloves nor glasses of protection.
nice series. i would be SO scared to drop that glass.
nice shots micki. not an eazy job i think!
