Here it is, the 1st of February, the middle of winter, and we have yet to have any appreciable snowfall. We have only had a couple of snow events so far this winter and together they only amounted to just a few inches, and then quickly melted within the next day or so after they occurred. Mostly it has just…

3 days down (visiting Dawes Arboretum)
I got hit with another cold/fever for the second time in a month. That’s highly unusual for me as I rarely get sick that often. Last months illness only lasted for about 36 hours, but his time around was a little heavier and knocked me down for the past three days. With another week to go before I start my new…
The color works…but
Yes, I’m still digging into my archives because I haven’t been out shooting for the past week. It seems like forever to me but I’m sure most readers don’t even notice. Looking at photos from this time last year, I noticed that we had a nice covering of snow which, of course, makes things somewhat pretty around here. When there is no snow…
Nothing new and some old flowers
I still haven’t taken any recent photos. I’ve been taking my camera with me the last few times I’ve been out but I just haven’t found anything of interest. I remember from doing my 365 last year how dark and dismal it is around here this time of year and what a rough time I had getting through January. The…
A few that didn’t make the cut. Vol.2
Good thing I’m enjoying a few days off from taking photos because it’s not a very pleasant time of year around here for photography. In the mean time I’m posting a few photos from the past year that didn’t make it into my blog. Just like the photos in Volume 1, some are good, some are just OK, some I’ve posted on Flickr at…
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,…
365-354 It’s a mystery
I took some photos of raindrops today. I took a LOT of photos of raindrops today. It rained all day, so naturally that was the subject of the day…..until. Until I saw this little figurine in a small pile of trash mixed in with some dirt in the landfill. It was bright yellow and easily caught my eye amongst the brown…
365-348 Direction
A simple black and white abstract today. I had to go into downtown Pittsburgh for an appointment (which I’ll elaborate on at a later time) and I shot this from the parking garage. It’s kind of a habit of mine when I park in city garages to look over the edge for a different perspective on the city below. This particular…
365-336 My world and my ashtray
In case you haven’t noticed I’ve been stuck on a work project that has been keeping me in basically one spot from dark to dark the past few days. I apologize for the abundance of job site photos but I have to work with what I got. And that isn’t much. Mud doesn’t make for nice photos. 😉 As for…
365-329 How much is that zebra?
When I see a zebra in the window of an urban store, I’m thinking “hmm, there’s a picture.” Unfortunately when a zebra is in the window, it probably isn’t alive. It wasn’t. The store ended up being a soon to be opened taxidermy shop. Lots of cool animals “hanging around” but the reflections and glare on the windows made it…
