Let it snow!

Ah yes, the snow has returned to WordPress!! It’s the most wonderful time of year! To add to the delight, I believe this photo I shot today has that light, snowy feel to it, even though it’s a weed. A dandelion in December! I haven’t done much macro work this year, most likely because I haven’t owned a macro lens since June.…

Buildings, new and old

I haven’t posted in quite a while so I thought I would show a couple of recently shot building photos. The first is a newly constructed office building in a suburban office park. The late afternoon clouds looked so good I couldn’t resist. The empty parking lot helped to balance out with the sky. Color was the word here. The other…

The brown period

I’ve been dazzling you with great autumn color the past few posts and now, unfortunately (for some, I imagine). it’s time to tone it down a bit. We are now entering the “brown period” of autumn, where all of the fallen leaves lose all of their color, the soil is almost always muddy, and the only color is the blue…

Let’s keep it rolling!

It wasn’t planned at all but I was able to get a few more autumn photos shot at the last minute, literally. It was a rainy day yesterday when I took these photos and the colors just seemed to pop as I drove through the rural countryside. But the heavy rain continued throughout the night and today was a whole…

Hey, why not? Another blast of autumn.

Can you really get tired of autumn foliage photos? I think not! Most of this batch was shot in a local semi-hidden park.  It’s one of the few places in the immediate area where there is a water feature to catch reflections. It’s best to visit it early in the morning on weekdays but I stopped by on a late…

Difficult to be different. The color parade continues.

Continuing on with some autumn themed photos. I shot these earlier today in the local park. It was a last minute excursion and I didn’t expect much as the local park is far from being picturesque. My plan was to just focus on details, if I found any, but, as usual, I don’t even remember my plans when I start…

Autumn Fall

A few colorful autumn scenes to tide you over until everything turns ugly for winter. Winter is when I really go into black and white mode because any color beyond beige is tough to come by. These are just some shots I took as I go about my day. The photos in the woods are the exception as I purposely…

Some things I think I saw

I often come across scenes or subjects and think, “yeah, that’s something”. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. The main thing is, I think they are something when in most cases they are far from something. There’s that little voice that tells me to shoot first and ask questions later. Sometimes it is later when I realize why I thought there…

Road Trip, Part 2

So it’s Saturday which is probably not a good day to post but I actually started this post on Tuesday with full intentions on posting for Wednesday. Not sure what happened there. Between still recovering from being sick and going back to work at my normal job, time flew by pretty quick.  I won’t elaborate or bore you much more on my…
