Visited my old standby, the cemetery, today to see if there was any action at the duck pond. There were no ducks to speak of but quite a few big geese waddling around everywhere. Enough geese where I had to watch where I was walking 😉 . I decided to explore around the pond anyhow and look for some other subjects.…

365-165 A new place and some processing fun
I discovered a nice park and lake not too far from my home. It’s kind of hidden behind some affluent suburban neighborhoods. It’s a decent size lake surrounded by wooded areas with nice paths. A lot nicer than my city park. I’ll have to go back and visit soon. The woods are really nice with mature trees and lots of…
365-123 Take green, add water
Surprise! It’s pouring down rain again today! Absolutely lovely! The bright side is, I guess, that it’s not snow. So I thought I may as well take advantage of the rain and use it creatively.

365-59 Bokeh, Topaz and Orton
Back to normal today, no more fun abstracts. My 365 shot is of some kind of pod on a tree next to my porch. There’s a busy street in the background so I used my Super-Takumar 50mm wide open at f/1.4 for limited depth. Due to the relatively boring subject, I decided to punch the color up a bit with Topaz…

365-26 – Snow day at the cemetery
A nice snowy day today. I thought I would try to get some nature photos for a change. I didn’t want to venture too far out of town. So, where to go? The local park? Not a chance. The park in this town is a scraggly, hilly, unkempt mess with bad roads. Instead I went to the large cemetery nearby…
