Day 362 - Marly!!!

Since the weather here has turned and there is road salts, and tractor trailers flinging ice all over the roads, I've parked the boxster or the winter.  So today, I was wiping dust off the car:

Day 328 - Blue's @ Blue Mountain Winery

After church today we decided to go to our favorite winery to pick up some wines for our Thanksgiving dinner, before heading to the store for the remainder of the ingredients for the Turkey dinner.

So we hooped into the Boxster and headed out..

...it was a brisk cold day, but a beautiful day to drive

the back country roads.

 After arriving at the winery and purchased the wines for dinner, 

we got an extra bottle, unpacked our picnic basket..

...sat back and listened to some fantastic blues

Day 314 - Night shots of the Boxster S

This afternoon we headed down to church for a organ recital.  After the recital, reception and cleaning up, we headed downtown to get some night images of the Boxster:

As I started to take the images, I had a gentlemen come up

and ask me how much I was selling if for as he wanted to buy it.

Had to tell him no, it wasn't for sell,

As the wife was patiently waiting, shocking her Facebook

The she wanted a picture next to the car to show that

she is much prettier than the car.

Which I would have to agree.

Thanks for looking

Day 311 - Commotion in the Garage

Cold rainy day today, so I spent most of the day indoors.  Near the end of the day, I had to go out to the garage to look for some tools, when I heard a commotion behind me...

Day 309 - A 1956 Chevy

Driving home from work, I thought I would stop by a old cemetery I saw back in the spring for a couple of images.  As I got to the road that would take me to the cemetery there was a sign that informed me that the road was closed.  So I thought I would then take a back road home to see if I could see a shot.  As I was driving past this field I noticed in the corner a old car.  So I turned around, pulled over and there she was...

Day 306 - A Birthday Present

What a surprising day today.  The morning started as usual.  One of the grandchildren coming into the bedroom @ 4:22 AM, the next showing up at 5:20 AM and the last @ 6:00 AM.  So up and fixing them breakfast, then getting ready to take them to their swimming lesson.  A normal Saturday morning so far.  Then while waiting for the swim lessons to be over I get a text from my daughter, asking me to drop the grandchildren off at the car dealers as they were taking my son-in-las car in for repair.  No problem, then we got to the dealer and there she stood, nope, not my daughter but the birthday gift that they got me for my 60th birthday in 4 days:

What a surprise.  I was able to drive her home with only 13 miles on the odometer.

So after we got her home, some lunch, we head back over to my daughter and son-in-law for my birthday dinner.  Normally the drive would take 25 minutes about 30 miles.  However today it took us 1 1/2 hour and 100 miles to get to their house.  Hmmm, wonder why??

Thanks  for a great birthday present and for a fabulous birthday dinner.

Day 295 - Delirious

Well after my wife came home from work and I finished studying for the day, we headed out to go for a walk.  Our walk took us 1 hour and 45 min, walking 5.76 miles.  So as we got home, I opened the garage door:

Day 284 - A Rainy Day

Today was another 4/1/2 hours at the books.  After the wife got home from work we headed out to eat, then get the grandchildren.  Wasn't a pleasant day to take pictures out doors but on the way back to the car I saw this image so that is what I'm posting for today:

Day 278 - Good news & Bad news

Today after the grandchildren got up from their naps, we headed out on a little field trip to look at Pop-pops birthday present.  After driving for 20 minutes we pulled into a parking lot and walked into the service center.  And there she sat, brightly polished, gleaming as she sat there waiting to be released.

What was she?

A

A 2014

To be exact

But all we were allowed to to was to photograph her

With the wife and grandchildren.

And there she will remain until Porsche releases her after they clear her from a recall notification.

See you tomorrow.

Day 216 - Porsches for Pediatrics AX

Today we skipped church and went to the Coco Cola Park to watch the Autocross that was sponsored by the Riesentoter Region of the PCA.   As to be expected, there were a lot of Porsches there, but there where also some Mazda's, Fords, BMWs, Audi's, and VW's.  Also this event gave me the opportunity to do some panning with the EOS-M.

Of course my lovely model was there with me.

Yes, there where some 911's, Cayman's, 914's, 944's, but 

I like the Boxster's

The following I put on the 40mm, pick a focal point & set the lens

to manual and set the camera to Shutter Priority to 1/60 sec. ISO to Auto
