Happy Birthday Google Plus.

Happy Birthday Google Plus.
I can't work up the interest to dig up my first post. I was circled up with one person (who left us long ago) and even then was so very excited to be here. The (soon to be) flowing stream filled with worldly, smart, kind people was almost too good to be true. I could finally wean myself away from the daily toll of the drama on faceboo...
I went from trolls and drama queens and fights to scientists, poets, philosophers and the like. I wasn't so fond of all those darned photographers and SEO types and there was that squid thing - but overall it was fast and breathtaking and I was in love.
Any relationship has its ups and downs. I miss the flowing stream. I miss the emphasis on people. I even defined a word on the Urban Dictionary to describe my current feelings.
Lingchi - http://goo.gl/XtpZAX
Death by a thousand cuts.
Still and all - I can't see myself leaving you. So I guess the bottom line is:
Many Happy Returns.

Are we still doing to do a "Green" picture for our group project ? I haven't got the foggiest idea but I'm about to take the module four assesment so I should have some time to work on it.

BTW - I'm in some other photo communities and "know" bunches of great folks here on the plus side. You should all feel free to look over my profile and stream or ask me anything while we are still working together. All the photo folks I know on faceboo are peeps I picked up here originally.

I found plenty of circleshapes at Dogwood Park last week. This is Mean Mary. I've included a musical selection taken from a weekly radio program that airs on my "local" public radio station back in Florida. Mary too is a native Floridian and I highly recommend "Another Barefoot Day" . Her best song to my taste is "Rose Tattoo" though.

In any case - Happy Summetime to all my Pulstafarians. Get outside, mind the skeeters and keep an eye out for the circles. #circleshapesmonday  Circle Shapes Monday ☀ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kelD345pEec

I'm taking an online class and this week we had a street photography challenge. I don't do a lot of street shooting so any tips or criticism would be appreciate.

I put this up for this weeks street photography challenge. I don't do much shooting in that genre but I like how this came out. Feel free to critique at will.

I figure that with the election cycle and all heating up and the scavenger hunt results do - I should probably keep my Theo's Thoughts blog and start another for my pictures. Here's my first entry.
Please feel free (maybe even obligated) to offer criticism and suggestions. Format, content, whatever you think. I'm open to suggestions.

I just hate missing out on #circleshapesmonday So here's one for Circle Shapes Monday ☀ and friends that I'm almost happy to share.

WPP2016 - Week 24 - Panoramique
I love pannos. I have different programs and different "in camera" methods. I eat pannos for breakfast.
Except for this time.
I've shot five different projects and hated them all. Focus problems and stitching problems and just plain ugly problems and I give up.
So here's a cell phone one that I never planned on using. I was shooting for what looked like a mile long wall of wine but it didn't come together at all. It was not a wasted trip though because the google put this together for me and I'm about to kick back with a couple of stiff drinks and start planning next (this) weeks project.

(or would that be ironious - well, sort of like Iron Man in a way)

I'd like to pretend this gate was a grate. I would love to make it a #grateartwednesday picture. I will refrain though and find something more suitable.

We don't have to use this poll - I was just bored and wanted to start moving towards the group "project" in a general sort of way. I'll put the link below and we can start thinking about it. I don't really care which onw we choose or how we present the results. I'm game to try anything (once).

Hi

Hi
I usually answer to Theo and thanks for the invitation.
I'm new to O2S but I've been a "plusser" for ages. So if I can be of any help in any way feel free to call on me. I'm currently working through module two and have plenty of free time on my hands.
Thanks again-
Theo

I'm taking the Art of Photography course and am eager to join or form a "study" group. I have lots of G+ experience so if I can help any folks out who are new plussers, feel free to comment or PM me.
Any tips or tricks about getting around in O2S would be greatly appreciated to. Thanks.
