A July Evening at Saint Gaudens
Brent and I had a guys night out and stopped in at Saint Gaudens before they closed. We checked out the workshop and got some photos.

He explained in detail to Brent and I about lost-wax casting and made Brent memorized these terms: the sprue cup, the sprue, the runners, and the riser; all parts of the casting process.

The Little Creatures at Knights Hill Nature Park
The kids and I were at the Strawberry Festival in downtown New London and I had to show them this beautiful spot. Being a sunny day I decided to focus on the insect world. Most shots were taken with my 40MM Macro lens except for the damsel and dragonflies where I used a 200 or 300MM zoom lens. The bird at the end was not at the park, but in my front yard after we got home. Enjoy.
