Merry Happy

Hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas and holiday season.

Last Sunset...

...for awhile anyway. I've had a run on sunsets lately.
Tough editing this one, to try to keep the colors while still showing the white of the birch tree not in silhouette.
This was taken in back of the rehab where my father is recovering from a stroke.

During the Thanksgiving parade/festivities at Plymouth, MA on Saturday, this helicopter was either training or demonstrating...not sure which, as I heard both theories among the crowd of spectators. Either way it was interesting to watch. Unfortunately a LOT of other people thought so too, so I couldn't get a good shot of the guy swimming in the water and being lifted up to the helicopter.

Made this as part of a photo assignment, using slow shutter speed to express motion.

f16; 1/13 sec; 100mm; .3 exposure compensation (only because I forgot to change it back from a previous photo. oops, but didn't hurt anything.)
