Today with your Pentax

Wow, great work barondla! Those IR images are spectacular, and the drama created by the fly in a flytrap shot is super!

We drove from Ohio to Kansas City on this day (June 27). Wesley and I stopped for gas, snacks, and to visit the world's largest rocking chair and mailbox, among other very large things, in Casey, Illinois.

June 28th was our heavy travel day. We took an Amtrak train from Kansas City to Chicago and a flight from Chicago to Frankfurt. We had a few hour layover in downtown Chicago where I took this photo. You can see the haze heavy in the air from the Canadian wildfires.

After landing in Frankfurt, I clicked the shutter for the only time this day.

Back to the regular routine of dog walking through town and country. Here's today's catch.

Back in Ingelheim, I took two trips out today. First time, I spotted this.

Second time shooting wide open with my big 135mm, I captured this minimally cooperative portrait of my trusted companion.

I love outdoor countryside photos like that. Peaceful places to go for picnics and walks. Looks very similar to fields like near where I live, but then I guess most fields look the same. Love the fish eye photo, do you do 360 ones too?

Thanks for your comments. I don't do any 360° photos. The fisheye is 180° and is the widest I have.

Here's two for today.

Pentax K-1 withPentax DFA100 macro. ISO 200, F11 @ 1/30. Found him in the house. Now returned to outdoors. He was happy to get out.
Thanks,

He's just a baby! I can't believe you found him in your house. LOL

Here's today's catch.

Today was very hot, so we went out in the morning. I'm not a morning person. Here's today's catch.

Wonderful flower image. Love the color and composition. I'm not a morning person either. Don't get home from work until almost midnight. Morning is for sleeping :). It has been hot here as well, ranging from 32-37c. Living close to the Mississippi river also makes it very humid. There's always indoor shooting.
