No more volleyball for a while around here. I think everyone is looking forward to the break. The last tournament was this weekend in Des Moines. That is a fun little city.
Have you ever been there?
Here are some things I saw along the way in Iowa…
Pixel 3a XL
It’s a very interesting state. We lived there for a few years about 20 years ago in a rural town but came back to the St. Louis area after my oldest was born to be close to our families.
Pictures of Daisy
She likes having her picture taken and is always to be found sleeping on my lap when she is not busy fetching her ball.

Great Egret for Monochrome Monday
I think this is a Great Egret bird but I am not for sure. They like to hang out in the Marsh by my home. I seem to never see more than one or two at a time. Usually just one though.

Happy National Dog Day 2020
I used my 50mm prime lens on these two, which is what I use for portraits in general. I shot at an aperture of f/1.8 because they are so small and a shutter speed of 1/160 seconds hoping that was fast enough to keep any blur out if they moved a bit.
The ISO was at 800 which is fairly high even though I was indoors, but I really wanted to balance the ambient light with the flash so I pushed it up some.
I always get excited when I am able to use my new flash with success, since I am mostly inexperienced with flash.

Dragon Fly
Spotted this guy at the Marsh last month. Think it’s about time for another trip back there.

Wasp
If my research is correct, this is a four toothed Mason wasp.
