Wrench glove


Wrench glove, originally uploaded by Noel C. Hankamer.

We had a spill at work last week-nothing dangerous. Just some plastic pellets. I saved a box full to see if I could make some use of them. A cheap pair of gloves, plastic pellets, a round piece of wood and some staples and I have a glovehand to hold a wrench. I might use it for pictures on Ebay. I sell vintage wrenches on the web. www.papawswrench.com

Roark windows

This shot was achieved by playing around with "Edge Detection", an action available in Irfanview, a post processing software available at www.irfanview.com . Irfanview is freeware.
The building is the old Roark Auto Supply store in Alvin, Texas. It has been empty for a few years, and was recently to be restored as a restaurant, but Hurrican Ike damaged it so much that the city has decided that it should be demolished.

These little flowers bloom each year just outside our back door. I have sort of disregarded them until I started doing Macro Photography.

Anhinga

This Anhinga was perched on a fallen tree in the lake at Camp Mohawk in Alvin, Texas. Now that I have Mondays off, I hope to go out shooting pictures more often.
