I saw these guys trying to get some good shots n later asked em if I could get a pic. Some of the park dwellers still have pics on their phones that I took years ago :)

#risingpark

Where will they be in 20 years #risingpark

Candid shot #risingpark

Clouds playing tricks #risingpark

The sky was drab but in a little bit it was super n I used flash magic on these guys #risingpark

Spinning my wheels #risingpark

Guy fishing with a net #risingpark

Had to wait for them to finish Kookie so I sat on the bank with the big teley for a while #risingpark

Didn't workout today so I went to Mt. P 3 times, twice with Kookie after her beauty treatment #risingpark

Her hair is red like her tail cept when it is cut #risingpark

Here is the overcast sky kind of drab but in 20 minutes it was super orange .. #risingpark

Great pals these guys were having fun goofing off :) #risingpark

This is the other great sunset pic of the night. Just a bit ago the sky was grey n drab here with fill n flash :) #risingpark

I haven't been to Mt. P for a bit but I have a piggy bank full of great photos.
One cute pumpkin that came for a while, firemen rescuing a kid, new parents coming to the park with their baby ..
This was some kind of religious group I figure. They came in bus loads and were scattered across Mt P.
I thought it would be a great photo if I could capture a high school graduation class on top of Mt. P :)

Me n Kookie standing in the fairgrounds with a 600mm teley

Sunset through my window..   
Kookie spot me when lifting weights.. and daydream through the day finally done a bit ago she went to the spring to drink...
Looking out the window the bright orange ball peeking through the branches.. making me wish I was on Mt P with the park dwellers. 

When I hit the lottery I will have a fire tower built in my yard so I can watch sunsets.
Through out the winter I looked forward to the spring n summer ... put on the brakes ..
For a long time I wanted to trick someone n2 taking Kookie for a bath n haircut..  no takers so  guess i must be the little red hen come Saturday 

                          

Aug 21st
Wasnt gonna go on top, this one did not turn out too bad from the fairgrounds. 1,370 ft away

#risingpark

Yoga class. I hoped to get a pic of em from the ground but they were too far back from the edge and it was overcast until after I left.
One of em is one of my fb pals :) They have lots of classes.

Aug 19th
If you were on Mt. Pleasant Aug 19th you r one of the specs. After I took this from the fairgrounds, I came up to get some close ups ..
#risingpark

Ask these guys to move out of the spotted shade n light.. came out pretty nice #risingpark

The sun bouncing off this pup :) #risingpark

I like this serious look .. days of summer #risingpark

Thought this was a cute pic n later did a candid shot hope they find it n copy it #risingpark

The golden sun light .. such a nice day #risingpark

Here I removed a bit of color saturation #risingpark

Saw these guys n thought they needed a group pic of all of em together. Some times people show me a pic I took long ago #risingpark

Long hair in the sunlight .. candid shot #risingpark

Before going down I asked these guys for a shot, didnt go for the sunset but the warm glow of the sun #risingpark

I looked back before heading down .. last peep #risingpark

Heard someone playing the guitar so I stopped to ask for a pic #risingpark

Aug 18th
When Kookie is loose n sees a stick, following her with the camera 'panning' the background is a blur  #risingpark

Aug 16
Adjusting the camera b4 going to the top. I took about 7 of these, Kookie bobbing her head so.. note how she is out of focus while the guy up front is crisp.. depth of field
Had to do an amazon return at kholes ...
Forgot the mask.. just had that neck thing

If I could just trick someone into taking Kookie for a bath :)
#risingpark

Three pals out on the rock, this one on the edge so I captured her first. #risingpark

Got em all n their monster puppy :)#risingpark

Guy sitting on one of the rocks they put on top.. pretty good idea .. #risingpark

When I first saw these guys.. just like this #risingpark

Then asked em to turn to see their faces #risingpark

After doing these guys on the other side they came over to this spot n did a candid shot hoping they find it to copy it #risingpark

Clouds for sale.. yes people take pics of clouds, search google and they sell em.. duh :) #risingpark

Never told these guys I did a candid didn't wanna break their line of thought .. a classic #risingpark

Police n fire visiting below #risingpark

The sun was behind the cloud n I told a couple of them to wait for a little bit and it would appear .. maybe #risingpark

Fooling with focus #risingpark

On the way down I asked these guys .. when I see pals taking pics of each other I try to get a shot of all of em in it #risingpark

Last pic on the way down.. the sun just getting ready to nap for the night #risingpark

Aug 10th
If you were on Mt Pleasant Aug 10th 2020, you can copy this pic and tag your self. one of the little specs.
I have a super telephoto I can get close ups but by the time I get on top I am not likely to find people to tell em where to copy it :)

#risingpark

Sun gave these pals a super orange glow.. note my shadow.. moved over so it would miss em #risingpark

I was gonna ask these guys for a shot  but didnt get around to it. #risingpark

Candid shot of a couple pals #risingpark

My best sunset.. got it before the clouds took over #risingpark

Clouds took over but it is a super nice close up of these guys #risingpark

First I got a shot of these guys putting up their hammock #risingpark

n then trying it out #risingpark

Pretty nice shot of these pals. When the clouds cover the sunset the background of the houses below are cool #risingpark

Pic of park dwellers on top, it has been repeated through the generations of a century #risingpark

Nice lighting with these pals n kind of candid shot of a couple pumpkins n the background #risingpark

I rearranged these guys a bit to get their faces an iconic shot with the race track #risingpark

Just b4 leaving ... #risingpark

These guys having fun goofing off #risingpark

Kroger no longer had the big boxes of Milk Bones so I went to Walmart .. saw these instructions of the direction to take .. Checking out I missed the reading glasses n the cart. I think the check out girl thought I was trying to rip em off :)
I have reading glasses sprinkled through the house and in my cars and often cant find any #risingpark

Now most of the time I just hang out with Kookie n don't see anyone but I visit Mount Pleasant through the photos you guys post here.
How many beautiful photos of the sky are taken... but who can identify what type they are and what caused them to form?
If you wanna share your sky pics or Mt. P related photos you can join the park fb group 
https://www.facebook.com/groups/302659221096890/
Look up at the sky then see if you can identify the type clouds :)

#risingpark

#risingpark

The sun made these guy's face super orange  #risingpark

Kookie getting some pets :)#risingpark

In years to come I wonder if these guys will still have this pic.. hope so #risingpark

First I used flash then though no, I would use the golden sun light #risingpark

Candid shot of a guy taking pics #risingpark

The park dwellers have repeated this scene for over a hundred years 
Kookie hoping for some park dweller to give her pets :) #risingpark

Family soaking in a sunset #risingpark

Some pals hanging out on Mt. P. #risingpark

Just a candid shot #risingpark

Didn't get a good sunset pic with people tonight but ... #risingpark

Aug 6th


Went this morning to get some compass pics and came back later was gonna do some timelapse but hardly anyone came.
made sure to put the emergency break on this little incline one guy's car coasted in the pond :)
#risingpark

Starting up the trail I just took a candid shot of park  dwellers coming down #risingpark

Asked these guys for a pic this one was the best #risingpark

600mm teley earlier #risingpark

Saw these guys being friendly n did a shot, didn't get to tell em though #risingpark

I saw this guy he was pretty good so I just pointed the camera.. a bit blurry but  :) #risingpark

Not just the regular pic of cute girls, a photography lesson here.. I told em I would do no flash first.. this one #risingpark

Same girls same place a few seconds later with flash .. pretty cool with the houses below #risingpark

The difference in this one I moved em to get the sky in the background, I like the other one the bestus #risingpark

***

Went up to get some compass pics and didnt get any people pics
Usually when I see a bunch together I ask em if I can take a pic of them with their camera.. but now the virus thing.
On the way down I saw these army guys planning something so I asked em if I could get a pic :)
#risingpark

Aug 5th
Had to go n let a vampire take some of my blood to test then of course, while in town I had to get a couple Mt. P pics
First I just got these guys and then.. :)
#risingpark

First they just wanted pics of the kids n after giving em a link to my page they all jumped in the pic ... I think these r the kind of family pics people will visit n the future #risingpark

First I got a candid shot of these guys and then ... #risingpark

The sun kept hiding behind a cloud the background washed out.. had to use flash to get a bit of detail.. they were further away but I cropped it to take some of the sky away #risingpark

This one came out better than I thought it would. Needed to get kind of close so the flash would take effect #risingpark

Me n da dog made it to August ...haven't attempted any star or moon photos from Mt. P.. so maybe.
Waiting another month to capture a sunrise video from the fairgrounds.
If any others are into photography make your plans.
