Welcome to Friday Foto Flogging, a place to share your photos and photography news. We were inspired by the folks at European Tribune who post a regular Friday Photoblog series to try the same on this side of the virtual Atlantic. We also thought foto folks would enjoy seeing some other websites so each week we’ll introduce a different photo website.
This Week’s Theme: A day in your life. … as usual, interpret as you wish. Some ideas: morning/noon/evening, a particular project you’re working on at the moment (or in the past), things you see on your way to work or as you go about your daily routine.
Website(s) of the Week: Photo tips from Arizona Highways magazine.

Between a rock and a hard place. This cliff-hugging road is part of my commute to work. Solid rock to the left, cliff to the right.
You certainly have one of the more scenic drives to work. Must be a bummer when you get stuck behind someone crawling along. 🙂
OIL SLICK
My theme tonight is all about oil.
The first one is of a truck belonging to one of my old biker friends in front of another friend`s bike shop called Top Dead Center.
The following shots are from my friend`s Reef store called
VIVID AQUARIUM.
The reef is what will be destroyed if we keep gushing oil from a hole in the bottom of the sea.
All shots are clickable to a larger version, but I would definitely do so with the last long shot & go to “original”.
It is a merge of 10 shots & covers the whole reef tank at Dave`s shop which is 14 feet long. (the tank, not the shop)
Thanks, Head, for reminding us of how much is at stake.
The pano shot is breath-taking. If I were to be there, I’m not sure I could ever make myself leave.
Our passion and our work.
Bat house erection.
We have lots of bats flying around here in the woods but I’ve thought about a bat house before. Now you’ve got me thinking.
Oops — that’s supposed to be “I’ve never thought about a bat house before”
Fantastic.
Tasmania has micro bats, about a quarter- to three-quarters-ounce in size. I have yet to see one.
On the other end of the spectrum, a flying fox (a 2 lbs. fruit bat) was found dead in the netting on someones fruit tree this morning. Fruit bats rarely get this far south, but they can make the flight from the mainland to here and one is found down in Tasmania every few years.
My favorite memory of bats was watching them fly under my horses bellies every evening as they darted around the horse paddock in pursuit of flies.
Outside early this morning to my favorite coffee-sipping spot.

We have a lot of company out in the street today.

Off to breakfast at the Hobnob Corner, a favorite of local Boo Tribbers.

On the way home after breakfast. Wild grapevine wreaths, anyone?

The new micro-brewery is adding to the building already. Business is brisk.

At ten a.m., the outdoor art & craft fair seems to be doing well, despite the breezy & chilly atmosphere.

Back home, the flowers seem extra lush this spring.

My little workspace, cluttered, but comfortable and familiar. I’m helping Mrs. ID for much of the day with a client job.

This local would rather to go to dinner at the Hobnob so I can have their great steak fries and some pepper steak soup.
One of your best tours ever.
We had a return engagement last night at the Hobnob for the exact delicacy you mentioned. Mrs. ID had the french onion soup, but I noticed some fry filching out of the corner of my eye when she thought my head was turned.
You are clearly a man of highly refined tastes and Mrs ID is clearly a woman who knows that practciing the delicate art of fry filching will always serve one well.
Your town is so pretty.
Well, maybe its time for someone to experience it firsthand again. I’ll bet I know where you can find really inexpensive accommodations in a nicely wooded environment and we’ll spring for a dinner if you come while I still have full-time employment (my current gig is up at the end of this year).
One of these days I’ll get back around that way. 🙂
You should listen to ID — after all, he’s older and wiser. 🙂
get some shots of ‘a day in the life’ since everything was happening later than Friday afternoon.
I have photowalk shots from Friday night but I haven’t gone through those yet so I’ve got some pics from National Train Day in Philly yesterday, as well as a couple evening sunset shots.
All day yesterday, we had insane wind due to a cold front moving in. It was partly cloudy all day, with the sun peeking in and out and very interesting cloud cover but very close to sunset, the sun began to emerge in bits and pieces and created some stunning backdrops with one particular church I can see from my window.
And since there’s just so many pics from Nat’l Train Day, I’ll just throw a few random shots up and link the rest.
And here’s the rest of the set.
Those sunset shots are amazing, especially the middle shot with its followspot effect.
National Train Day looks like it was great fun.
