365-148 Speaking of crows

I took a very nice picture of my neighbors roses today. My thought was to use it for my 365 shot. That was until I parked my truck in a shopping center parking lot next to someones half eaten burrito. There were some small birds munching on a tortilla chip, which was amusing enough, but they soon got chased away…

365-147 Scary scarecrows

Well since few people seemed interested in my cat pictures 😉 yesterday , I’ll try something a little more funky today. In the midst of an affluent suburban area and across the street from a major shopping mall is a farm. I’ve taken a few pictures there before over the winter.  The scarecrows were a bride and groom but driving by today I…

365-140 For no apparent reason

It turned out to be a decent day today, so my wife and I decided to take a little walk after lunch. Since the streets around our house are heavy with traffic and we didn’t want to travel far, we decided to take a walk in the city park. Yeah, the same one I talked about in previous posts. The…

365-135 Things I’ve seen

Well, all of my daily posts are shots of things I’ve seen that day. So I guess today isn’t any different. I live in such a dynamic, colorful area that it’s easy to take wonderful photos. Okay, that was a joke. It’s actually difficult to take photos around here that are somewhat interesting to view. That’s why I try to…

365-133 When it rains, it rains

I really can’t think of a wetter spring in recent years. Almost every day, it seems, it’s raining or storming. The days in between are pretty decent though, so I can’t complain much. Besides running some errands, I basically stuck around the house today. I took the photo of the robin on my neighbors fence just to get my 365…

365-131 Aspirations of the uninspired

My images have been a bit uninspiring lately. I don’t know what it is. Maybe the change in weather, maybe I’ve exhausted all of the possibilities in my immediate surroundings.  Probably more than anything, a change in environment would help me artistically and even more, mentally. Since being layed off, I’ve been around home more than I have ever been…

325-126 All about texture

I’m kind of running out of time tonight so I’ll keep the text short. I did my usual ride around town again and although not looking for anything in particular, I found textures more than anything. My 365 shot is just an odd sight on the side of an old building downtown. What the purpose is I have no idea but…

365-124 Cemetery Part 1

One of those days again where I didn’t get out until late. The town is looking uninspiring lately and the lighting was drab anyhow so I cruised through the cemetery again to find some textures and details. I’ll add some more tomorrow when I have more time. Adios. Waves        

365-119 Not a better photographer

I’m feeling better today but that doesn’t mean the photographer is any better ;-).  This was shot in my usual “sitting at a redlight and looking out of my window” style. I should be able to plan a day soon when I can just go out and focus on the photography. Perhaps a day trip to Pittsburgh for some city shots.…

Additional photos from Oglebay Park

Just a few extra photos from visiting Oglebay Park yesterday. Like I said earlier, I think I have enough flower shots for a while. I’m going to try to get back to normal.  Enjoy!!
