Tough date for me. All I have is some product shots I was doing for a friend. I hope this looks better than it does on my crappy work monitor.

I'm excited because I actually took some pictures on June 28! I've been wanting to participate in this challenge for a few weeks now.

I was out with my family at a sort of tourist farm type place, here is a forlorn looking donkey:



thanks for looking!

The other waver runner

I love this cameras focus tracking ability

Finally !!! After being skunked the last two dates I can play. I have the whole day of the 28th June 2008 documented and had a hard time deciding what to post. I have beach pictures , Slow-pitch pictures and Beer Garden pictures that day. So I thought we see a few of the first two so here it is. Converted to BW to lessen some of the noise (ISO 1600)

Kim Mitchell in Vernon, BC at the Funtastic 2008 Tournament - There were no "Patio Lanterns" but everyone was "Go For A Soda" ... Here is about 1/3 of the mosh pit - me with about 6k of my 'closest' (literally) friends

An entry dated 28th June 08. The dates selected seem like my luck in the lottery.
So far each date I miss by "that much"
