I’m still here

Not only has it been too long since I last posted, it’s been a while since I’ve actually had a chance to take any photos. With my new job, since I’m still in orientation mode, my days are being spent with other people so I can’t be snapping photos every time I see something interesting :-). And although the days are…

What’s that white stuff?

It felt like winter around here again today, with the snow and colder temperatures and all. What’s up with that? I personally liked it but people get used to the mild winter and forget what winter is supposed to be like. I think the first thing they forget is how to drive in snow – but I’ll leave that for another…

A snowy day at the cemetery

In response to my last post….we got snow! Not a major amount but it was snowy and cold enough to feel like winter for a change. So in order to take advantage of it, I thought I would try to take some pictures while I was out today. I figured I would visit the city cemetery to grab some shots since it’s…

Maybe it’s just me

Every once in a while I come across a scene that just intrigues me. It could be something simple like a color or texture that first captures my attention and then I just have to stop and get a photo. This scene was one of those. I just liked the colors and textures at work here. Add the cross, the pink…

From one vantage point

I took a little bit of a day off from working on the house today. Well it was kind of self-inflicted because I slept in too much and after I got up I didn’t feel like doing much of anything. But I did manage to visit the hardware store and pick up more supplies  (there’s always more supplies), so it…

At least I tried (and other good news)

Grass-cicles Last night, after I finished my post, I walked down to the store on the corner. It was dark out and on the way back to my house I noticed the frozen grass in my yard reflecting the lights from nearby businesses. It was a cool (literally) looking scene and I thought I would try to capture it. Try,…

Icicles melt

We had some freezing rain along with a little more snow last night. My truck was encased in the frozen fun and before I thawed it out, I grabbed a few photos of the icicles hanging from it in various spots. It would have been a good day to head out into the woods and get some frozen nature shots…

Cold and Hot – a momentary lapse of reason

I’m still not back into full-fledged shooting yet, instead taking the time to clear up some personal and home tasks. But the urge to photograph has been rumbling (I think that’s what that was) and I thought I would poke around in my kitchen this evening. These results are what happens when you look around in the silverware strainer in the sink with…

A few that didn’t make the cut. Vol. 1

I’m enjoying a few days off from taking photos to get some things done around the house. One of the things I’m doing is organizing my hard drives, which are loaded with too many photos from last year, so I thought I would post a few photos from the past year that didn’t make it into my blog. Some are good, some are just OK,…

365-364 In the Pink

I’m feeling better then I did yesterday, although I’m not at 100% yet.  Because of that I’m staying around the house today, just resting up. So it became obvious that I would have to find something in the house to shoot for my 365 image. I’m never too good at the still life thing, mostly because I lack any kind…
