Displaced Nugget

Nugget was evacuated on the twenty-seventh of June to the property of another donkey owner far enough to the east to keep him out of the smoke cover. He was being pastured with two other donkeys of the same color as our burro. I decided it would be neat to get a "Which One's Nugget?" photo for our marketing director at the museum to post on the museum's Facebook page (and for my own amusement, of course).

Can you tell Nugget from his temporary companions, Dudley and Woody?

I have titled this shot "Follow the Leader." If you're looking for a hint as to which donkey is Nugget, I'll tell you he isn't at the front.

Carriages Without Horses

Just playing a bit more catch up.

We had another car club visit the museum on the second of July, this time with even older vehicles than we had with the V8 club. This club went by the name of "The Horseless Carriage Club of America" and it was a club that consisted of, yep, you got it, some of America's original cars. The club featured vehicles of all brands, each car manufactured previous to January 1, 1916, so we had some serious old timers on our lot!

The owners of the horseless carriages were far more present than the V8 owners, so I had a harder time getting photos of vehicles over all without people in 'em. As such, most of my shots were shot in a macro style. I also found it harder to work with these cars--I think because they were more square than the V8's. They didn't have the same elegant curves. However, I did produce a couple photos worth looking at, so here's a sampling.

Again, if you're interested in more, feel free to visit my DeviantArt gallery.

Or for a different photographer's take on these cars, check out my sister's photos.

Belated

Another belated post, due to utter craziness. I took these photos on the twenty-first of June (not long before I got to see my good friends MOTS and Dolphin!) and then proceeded to survive a completely crazy weekend at the museum. We had a big fair going on the twenty-second through twenty-fourth that had us all hopping. By the end, we were all downright fried and ready for a nice, long break.

This weekend has been a bit better with only a graduation party to juggle. Still, I'm just finally getting a chance to sit down and sort through photos today. Madness.

So here's another round of Nugget photos, mostly to keep the blog updated and active. Let me know what ya think!
