jasdip.....my DH is a certified welder. We weld projects for the house....we wear the leather jacket, full face shield, dust mask......no respirator....but IF we did it every day THAT would be a good idea! :0) The fumes hang in the air like a dense cloud.....would not be good to breath. I'm glad you were a female welder.....! You goooooooooooo gurl!!!!

Barn ... check. Vineyard ... check (at left edge of picture). Hay bales ... check (in shed behind barn) Tree covered hills ... check. Now if only I can find a butterfly on the wild flowers in the foreground. The large building on the hill is now the tasting room for the vineyard along the left side of the picture. Its just over a mile from the entrance to the vineyard to reach that building. Over the summer they have a food truck and a band on Friday evenings.

Here's what happens when you're out from 9AM until 1AM the next day. Bleary-eyed shot, from the phone! I hope the camera shots turned out better. Best Visual Effects for both prelims and finals. 2nd in our class prelims, Reserve Grand Champion in finals. Wish us luck for the Mayor's Cup (and that it doesn't get rained out this weekend). That tall trophy was almost as tall as many of the kids.

I have a plain ole point and shoot camera. I pull it out my bag, and shoot, all while riding most of the time. Sometimes they are crooked, and I have to straighten them out (using picassa) but often they turn out great. this is my camera and phone bag:
