My blurry motor bike stunt shot

This weekend I figured I would stay home and catch up on some carried over home work, some painting, picture hanging, unpack some boxes, you know, new home sort of stuff. Watching a few overdue movies that I must return to my friend down the street, it was the perfect plan.

As I started sorting through my tools to knock off my final task about 8:30 on Sunday morning. I was reminded of the circus we promised to take our daughter to watch, this started at 12:00 noon.

When this was first mentioned I agreed to go without paying much attention to date, time or performers, so now I must live up to my promise regardless of how painful this experience will be for me. You know, a bunch of clowns messing up my perfect plan, oh well I thought, she's four and it's all about her so what the heck.

We all got dressed, well not me, I got ready. On my way to this "circus" I asked to see the ticket as direction was not well planned and I figured checking the back may solve this problem. No, no such luck, so we took a chance and drove to the likely destination, and surprisingly we were bang on.

Did I mention this was Gordon Brothers? No? Well, I checked the ticket and WOW! It's Gardon Brothers! My wife said "so?" I said "Soooo!" Girl this is big, and now I have to say I'm so glad I came up with this great idea, you need to give me more credit around here, I said

It was my first time to a circus likewise our daughter and we all had a wonderful time. All the acts were flawless and entertaining. My wife wanted to take the video camera but as you all know, this is not allowed, so my still camera stepped up for some action, now I'll get some crazy shots for my blog I thought, but not so fast, it was not going to be my day, instead it was a disaster, my camera would not work, just would not focus, all my shots including the motor bike stunt came out blurry. The motor bike stunt for me was going to save the day, it was going be a great replacement for "my perfect weekend plan". It was going to be the perfect shot for my blog, instead I got a blurry motor bike stunt shot.

Oh, and the clown did his funny thing.

I'm sorry your camera acted up at the circus. It must have wanted you to have family time. :D Sometimes DH and I leave the camera at home so we can hold hands. Of course that's when we miss the best pic ever. :D

Thanks for visiting my blog. Your photos are fantastic!!!
