As previously said, I went to this place with the intention of further testing my lens. Seeing ducks and geese, I admit I was totally distracted! You will see a GBH, and I admit that I don't think he's as handsome as Simone and Henri. It was also very frustrating to be so far! There's a big flock of geese and ducks, and they play well together for the most part. However, a few times, I saw some chasing. I was thrilled to see the goslings and ducklings, but I didn't do too well at photographing them. It's a nice place, and I probably will return, but for some reason, I struggled to get as good images as I normally might. Weird!

So here's what I will share! I hope you enjoy! Feedback and comments are always appreciated!

While I out looking for the remaining Bluebonnets to shoot, my mom called me and had some fresh made beans and jalapeno cornbread and some other stuff. Since she does all natural and organic, it is always very good. Slammed on the brakes, made a U-Turn on the hiway and headed over there. Since I had my Nikon D300s with the 28-80mm lens attached I took some images of her and some of her latest projects.
Now she is pushing 93, very active and busy and drives everywhere.
These two benches she saw rusting as junk somewhere and after a while she somehow got them to the house and refinished them. The one with the red slats were bought by me at Lowes, they are fence boards and she sanded them and painted. The white one she recently just finished. She drove the truck to Home Depot, which she does frequently, loaded up 2x4's and some 4x4's some another project. She worked them over and after refinishing the metal bench frames, she added the new wood. I had to catch this and share, she is kinda proud of it because friends have more seats outside when visiting.
Nikon D300s set at: P-Auto, auto ISO, Matrix metering, Dynamic AF mode.

I WAS NOT attempting to create a photographic setting excellence. I had a short time to grab'n go but wanted to capture the moment. So why not share with the HOG family huh ?

Folks your thoughts and prayers are working! Isaak made it through another night. His vitals remain stable. His organs are doing OK. The lab reports are encouraging.

He is in a medically induced coma and over the next few days if his brain swelling continues to subside and cerebral pressure stays low they will slowly take him off those meds to see how his brain function is.

They are going to do more work on his shattered leg while he is still unconcious. He had the packing removed from his abdomen for the lacerated liver. He is receiving antibiotics to ward off infection both in his abdomen and for pneumonia.

The big challenge ahead will be how much brain function he has as he was not breathing for 10 mins prior to paramedics arriving and intubating him.

There are many cases of people beating the odds and having good recovery from this type of injury. He has youth on his side. However, he is still critical and not out of the woods by a long shot.

Vigilance.
