Numbering error…

Saturday, August 20, 2011

Back on Day 224 I jumped the numbers by 20, to 244.  I guess all that lightening had me over-excited! … Anyway, I have corrected the Days on the Post titles, but I am not going back to rename the photos. … So there. … ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 224: After the Moonrise…

Monday, August 15, 2011

After the Moonrise the lightening storm to the South headed North…some of these aren’t in the best focus, mainly because I was hand holding the camera a four to eight seconds exposure.  I declined to get out of the nice, safe Honda Faraday cage in the middle of the storm to set up my tripod.  […]
