Sadness He had been sitting alone on a bench in the little park for hours. His pants were wet and half frozen. He hadn't bothered to brush away the thick coating of snow before sitting down. The trees sparkled from the heavy frost as if they were coated with sugar. Large flakes floated about like frolicking white butterflies and were collecting on his exposed head and clothing but he paid no attention to them. Not long ago he would have marveled at all the simple beauty around him but now nothing really mattered.

He slowly got up, sighed and shuffled along the icy path, eyes looking down at the ground, oblivious to his surroundings. He rarely

Great Train Adventure of '71 Guys are not to smart sometimes, a fact that most women already know. This is about one of those unintelligent moments in dumb guys lives.

We were on our way home from school. It was not cool to take the big yellow school bus besides you couldn't smoke on it. The temperature was about 89° that day. We had already walked over two miles and it was another mile and a half to Kevin and Kurt's house from where we were. I had known the brothers for a couple of years and Kurt, the older of the two, usually didn't hang around with us too often. Sweating and complaining, we were walking along the tracks where a freight train had stopped while w

OrcasThe screen door slammed three times before I finally got up to open it. It was late evening and it was about that time again. As I slowly opened the door just a crack a little black searching hand felt around. The door was opened fully. There was mom with her six kids standing on their hind legs, front paws held up waiting for the nightly hand-out.

We had started feeding the raccoons to keep them out of our trash cans. Other people sometimes shot them for that offense but we could never do that. Soon word got out that there were unlimited tasty freebies to be had at the house on La Porte Road. It seemed that every raccoon on the island would

Very nice. Composition, subject, colors. Love it.

~kaiack Sep 20, 2007

Thank you....forgot I had this one.....8 hard drives and things get scattered.

~robert-kim-karen Sep 21, 2007 Hobbyist Photographer

Do you ever just get rid of bad shots or do you save em all? I have a hard time dumping even my worse photos. They take up space but also somehow add context to the better ones. Or maybe I'm just a sick puppy that has a photo pack rat syndrome or something?

~kaiack Sep 21, 2007

Is this a bad shot? lol

I do some editing but I'm like you...have a hard time tossing them.....every once in a while I go through the drives tossing out stuff but when I shoot I make a cd or dvd of the raw files as a back up so even if I dump them from a drive they are still lurking around somewhere....lol

~robert-kim-karen Sep 21, 2007 Hobbyist Photographer

P.S. It's a great shot.!

~kaiack Sep 21, 2007

lol....thanks

~robert-kim-karen Sep 21, 2007 Hobbyist Photographer

I'm thinking of maybe opening a stock photo account to let the photo-manipulators use the stuff i'm not too concerned with. That way I can have some sort of justification for keeping them around.

~kaiack Sep 21, 2007

There you go....I just can't do it myself though......don't want someone else using my images

~robert-kim-karen Sep 22, 2007 Hobbyist Photographer

I think I can relate to that feeling a bit. But the ones I would be willing to put as stock, nobody would want to use anyhow.

~kaiack Sep 22, 2007

But you never know what they will do to them.....lol
