Friday Foto for Fairy Tales

Yesterday was our friends first trip to see the Easter Bunny with their newborn baby. Of course as any proud parents, you need photos and more photos and then a few more. There wasn’t any tears or screaming at all…mom held it together pretty well.

After pictures at the FSK Mall, we headed over to Applebee’s for some grub. While we were there, in walk a few familiar faces. Not only did she get to see the Easter Bunny, she also got to see Santa. Not just one Santa but two Santas. They must of had a Tweetup, Sledup or Meetup or something. We thought we were being invaded by the Salvation Army bell ringers union. OK photo op with the working camera the Fuji s5200. (They had business cards and everything.) I knew they were the real Santa Doubles.

So when we left the restaurant…there it was — his sleigh!! …and that my friends is your Friday Foto in Frederick.

You can visit this Santa on his website MustangSanta.com. This is some serious biz. They even have their own fraternity.

Have a great weekend. (remember, he know if you’ve been bad or good.)

Friday’s Foto around Frederick

I went out the other night to kill some time before picking the wife up at work. I took a ride through Jefferson, MD. It’s not too far outside of Frederick. (Just down route 15 south) It’s a little quiet town with one stop light. Almost reminded me of home, because on one block there were three churches. I grew up in a town east of Pittsburgh called New Kensington. It was in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most Churches and Bars on the same street. I didn’t notice any bars, but I did notice Hemp’s Meats. I love Hemp’s Meats especially during the Frederick Fair. They have great roast beef sandwiches (and ham, and pitbeef and…)

Well onto today’s photo. Jefferson is surrounded by farm land. As I was coming up Route 180, this tree caught my eye and then this song popped in my head…

Have a great weekend.

Frederick Foto Friday

I am not much a star gazer, but I do enjoy looking at the beauty up there. Wednesday night was the Full Lunar Eclipse. This only happens every so often. The next one will be visible from the United States in 2010 (seems like a long way off, it’s not.) I figure I would seize the moment, freeze my butt off and take some pictures. I set up the tripod and pointed it toward the clears freezing skies. About every fifteen minutes I would go out and take a series of shots. The whole process took about three hours. The first shot was about 9 PM and the last one was about midnight. Sorry about the one that in portrait view, I wanted try something different.

Friday Foto in Frederick

We had some serious ice this week that caused school cancellations. The ice coated the branches. Mother nature always has a way to amaze us. The first foto is right after the freezing rain started. The bottom pictures were from Thursday after the rain. All the ice melted except for the tops of the mountains. When I came home on Thursday the sun was shining through the trees and it look like crystals.

Have a great weekend.
