As I previously mentioned, I am redecorating some rooms in my house. After almost completing the dirty work of repairing the plaster walls and applying texture I went to purchase paint at Lowes yesterday. I already had a color picked out but as I was looking at the paint color palette brochures, I was surprised by the cover image on one of…

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…
Bridges
Bridges – Utah Phillips and Ani DiFranco – “The Past Didn’t Go Anywhere” In honor of a really cool song by two talented artists. I spotted this bridge while traveling around today and thought it just had something about it. I’ve been past this bridge probably hundreds of times yet it just caught my eye today. I don’t know why and I’m…
Like snow, man
It finally snowed! Considering this is winter, I’m considering that as a good thing. I know a lot of people like mild temperatures and no snow in the winter but I think things are just too ugly this time of year without snow. Mild temperatures just mean it’s going to rain all of the time and I’d rather have snow than…
Changes
I’m currently going through some changes that should provide for a better life in the future. Well, as much as physical things can provide. One thing I’ve started is renovating a room in my house to be a music/photography/computer room. There will be a specific area for my computer for both working on photos and to use as a digital…
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…
