In Reno, July means Artown, a month-long celebration of the arts. On Friday nights there are concerts by the river. Last night we had to go downtown to meet some friends at a local watering hole but before that Sweetie and I headed over to the amphitheater to listen to the music and do a little people watching. I shot a bunch more photos and will likely post them later, but I’ve got to get these up as I should have been out the door thirty minutes ago.
Surprisingly, I got a decent amount of photography in today. I was reasonably productive in the short amount of time I was able to shoot. Other than grabbing my camera bag when I left for work this morning, I didn’t even think about my camera until nearly 4pm.
I took a late afternoon walk around and outside our grounds.
Instead of my usual left-turn, I took a right and walked past the side of our building that faces the employee parking lot.
I headed down the walk and paused to snap this rusted rebar.
This pine cone looked lovely with the afternoon sun illuminating it.
Across the street, these meters caught my eye. Black and white seemed the right treatment for them.
On the way home I got in a little “street” photography.
More.
A third shot.
On the road home (one hand on the wheel, one hand to press the shutter).
Pulling in to the driveway I was happy to see that our yellow dahlia has started to bloom.
Most people like photographing them at the seashore.
Me? I find them in the parking lot of the local home improvement store sparring with some crows over a plastic bag filled with who-knows-what.

More fun with action blur. I like the juxtaposition of the 18-wheeler and the pedestrian.
