Just a few extra photos from visiting Oglebay Park yesterday. Like I said earlier, I think I have enough flower shots for a while. I’m going to try to get back to normal. Enjoy!!

365-110 A whole lot of tulips
Took a drive to Oglebay Park near Wheeling, West Virginia today. It’s a beautiful, well maintained park so I thought they may have some photo ops there. There were tulips galore around the buildings and I got to take my time shooting them because there weren’t very many people around. It’s still early in the year so the park isn’t…
365-109 Too many categories
I took a variety of photos today and I’m kind of all over the place with them. I first took a few photos of my neighbors tulips. They were nice shots of pretty flowers but nothing special. I then saw some large raindrops on the leaves and I knew that it would make a nice black and white photo. I…
365-108 Postcards from the edge
Whew, it’s tough thinking of catchy post titles :-). Another postcard image for today. A spring scene I saw while driving through town. The tree caught my eye first and when I saw the flowers I knew I had to get a shot. I drove around the block and came down the road alongside the house. I was able to shoot…
A little nutty squirrel fun
I took a few shots of the squirrel from yesterday and thought I would throw a couple together for a little animation. Nothing serious going on here! Enjoy! Squirrelly
365-107 A few from around town
Took a drive around town (as usual) and took a few shots. Again, nothing overly creative but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless. My 365 shot is at Washington and Jefferson College campus. It’s part of my quest to find spring color. The black and white is at the town park. You can see why I zoomed through there! The…
365-106 When there’s nothing to shoot…
…you shoot nothing. The lighting this afternoon was incredible. After the rain cleared there were still dramatic clouds and coupled with the late afternoon sun it was simply beautiful. That would all be cool if I lived in the shadows of a nice mountain range or the desert southwest and I could capture some sweeping landscape shot. Instead I was…
365-105 I am not a lawn person
A little diversion from the usual shots. I don’t like to grass but it’s one of those things that has to be done starting around this time of year until October or November. Today is my first cut. I was trying to hold out but it just got too long, in spots at least. Beyond cutting my grass, I like to…
365-104 If you just shoot it you don’t have to remember
I spotted this old Impala sticking out of the garage a few months ago. I meant to get a shot of it but simply forgot about it until today when I was driving through the intersection of the road it was on and seen it. I didn’t want to forget about it again so I drove around the block and snapped a…
365-103 There may be more
I may go overboard on some flower shots this spring because the winter felt so drab. For fans of my grunge work, don’t worry, I’ll return to it soon ;-). There will be plenty of grungy and gritty subjects to shoot in the future but I want to take a break and show a little beauty while it’s all to…
