Summer coming to a close

It really blows me away that summer is coming to an end... just a week left to August. Where has the time gone?

The Whale tour never generated the photos that I hoped, the weather conditions weren't great for scenery shots (cloudy and very hazy). Also we only saw 2 whales. While this should have generated some good photos, these whales never did anything except breach the surface and breath.

However on Sunday past I attended a gathering of fellow members from the DeviantArt website at Bowering Park. That generated a set of nice photos, and I had a great time.

Thunder showers this morning woke me up early. Now I'm feeling lazy and uninterested in getting some research work done.

I was surprised to find the other day an e-mail in my gmail inbox from a high school teacher asking permission to use one of my blog posts for a lessen in her english class. Thats kind of neat to think about. Of course anything that I post on-line is (unless otherwise noted) available for use, I believe in the creative commons licenses.

Well I really should get things going for the day.

Life or Something like it...

So, I've been pretty busy lately with school and whatnot... but I'm finished for the summer now. I'll be working more or less full time from Instrumar for the next month, hoping to make good progress on my masters research work.

I've been having lots of fun with my photography lately, even sold some prints of my photos. Not going for great profits at the moment, just happy that my photos will be on some walls.

This afternoon I'll be going on a whale watching boat tour out of Bay Bulls. It should be a fun couple of hours on the sea. I really hope to see some good sights.

I've got my memory card empty, and my batteries full... hopefully the whales and other wild life will be plentiful, or at least the scenery clear.

I'll be posting any of the photos that come out well to my website (http://jmilley.com/gallery/ and any that come out great/are edited will be posted to deviantART.

Well, I best take off and get some research work completed before heading off to bay bulls.
