Gotta Go Round

My favorite kind of light comes in the early morning or at dusk, especially in the summer. I was at the   "Ex" last year in late August, and love the midway where I photographed the ferris wheel.

I am using a palette knife a bit more in painting lately. I really like the marks it makes.

Crazy Mouse II

I went to the midway at the "Ex" again this year, and I couldn't resist photographing the "Crazy Mouse" ride. Of course I would never actually go on this or most of the rides being a class A chicken. I did sample the cuisine of course. This year it was a corn dog (foot long which I couldn't finish), Tiny Tom's donuts and an ice cream cone. Perfection!

I really love the graphic elements of the rides and how they can be isolated against the fabulous blue of the sky, and just a bit of cloud for some texture.
