Rainstorms. A common occurrence of late. And again today I found myself waiting out a downpour while sitting in my car. Fortunately, I was parked next to a forsythia shrub and I noticed the yellow flowers and bright green leaves. Shooting through my rain drenched windows, I shot a few photos trying for an abstract or impressionistic look. Some shots had…

365-112 I’ll go easy on you today
I won’t do any rambling story on the photo background today. No reason, just don’t have much to say. So, until tomorrow, enjoy! Two Blue Doors
365-111 De-dazzler
After being dazzled by spring color and flowers the past few days, I thought I would try going back to my usual subjects. What are my usual subjects? Looking at my past work, I have no idea! In a way, I like that though. I’m not constrained by visual boundaries I set on myself. Free to shoot whatever, however. All…
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…
365-99 Some like it hot
I’ll keep the description short today. I was thinking of just getting a picture around the house for my 365 today but after looking around, I thought maybe I should take a quick drive to see if there’s anything to shoot. Heading out in a different direction than I normally would, I saw some smoke as I was driving down the…
365-96 The park was so ugly yesterday…
…I decided to drive through the cemetery again. I think I saw more signs of life there ;-). I mean there were more people, some just out for a walk, some doing cemetery things, and there were a few buds in the trees. So it was a little nicer than the park was. I took some pictures of a few…
365-95 I drove through the park….
… hoping, MAYBE, that there would be some sign of spring, but it looked like February without the snow. No buds, no leaves, mud, dead grass…..aaargh! The other night I was looking in some of my photo files from last year at this same week and there are pictures that I took in the park that show spring blossoms and bright green grass. It’s crazy how…
365-94 Have you ever seen the rain?
My wife and I were in a strip mall parking lot and had to wait out a heavy rainstorm while sitting in my truck. Well, we didn’t really have to wait it out because we had nothing we needed to do anyhow ;-). But I didn’t feel like driving through the thunderstorm, so we hung out and enjoyed a Starbucks. While waiting, I looked…
365-91 Like a zombie
That’s the way I felt today when I was out and trying to find a photo subject. After a while I just quit and gave up on the idea. I didn’t want to go out of may way to maybe find a new subject and just waste gas chasing something I wasn’t even sure was there. So I just relaxed…
365-90 Back alley blues
On my way to the grocery store today, I detoured through an alley in town and grabbed a few shots. I have most of the main streets in town memorized as far as photo possibilities that I have to find new places to explore. Back alleys always offer something of interest that few get to see, so they’re worth exploring on occasion.…
