…I decided to drive through the cemetery again. I think I saw more signs of life there ;-). I mean there were more people, some just out for a walk, some doing cemetery things, and there were a few buds in the trees. So it was a little nicer than the park was. I took some pictures of a few…

365-95 I drove through the park….
… hoping, MAYBE, that there would be some sign of spring, but it looked like February without the snow. No buds, no leaves, mud, dead grass…..aaargh! The other night I was looking in some of my photo files from last year at this same week and there are pictures that I took in the park that show spring blossoms and bright green grass. It’s crazy how…
365-93 I really need to get out more
Spring is taking an incredibly long time to get here this year. There’s still no signs of buds or leaves on the trees, the temperatures are staying below normal, and everything still looks dull and wintry. I’d love to get out and about more but it just feels blah around here. Since I’m in a blah mood, I figured the best place…
365-90 Back alley blues
On my way to the grocery store today, I detoured through an alley in town and grabbed a few shots. I have most of the main streets in town memorized as far as photo possibilities that I have to find new places to explore. Back alleys always offer something of interest that few get to see, so they’re worth exploring on occasion.…
365-80 Kind of a crazy place
My 365 shot is of the former Western Center (Western State School and Hospital) near Pittsburgh, PA. I thought I would get a picture of it since I was in the area. The facility closed a few years ago and, suspiciously soon after, the land was sold to a nearby affluent office park development. I’m sure there wasn’t any backhanded political…
365-77 Another one just like the other one
Yet another day of not finding anything to shoot. A creative slump, I guess. Or maybe I’ve shot just about all there is to shoot around here. A change of scenery is needed, perhaps? That would be nice, I wouldn’t mind taking some palm tree pictures for a change. Okay, that’s not happening anytime soon, so for now you get…
365-72 A visit to Roberts House
Aaaargh, I don’t know why I keep losing ALL of my text after I publish a post. It’s getting aggravating. Okay, back to my story. I discovered this old house in a neighboring town that was constructed, I believe, in the late 18th/early 19th century. It’s called Roberts House. I don’t know what the historical significance of it is except that it…
365-68 Wet, rusty, and worn
If there’s anything there is no shortage of around here, it’s wet and rusty stuff. Rust because of all the industrial areas that at one time provided the economy in my town but now are closed and left to ruin. Wet because winter is ending, the snow is melting and it rains every other day now. Really pretty. 😉 So, just like all of my snow…
365-61 Most interesting place in town
Took a drive through the cemetery, again, because there was absolutely NOTHING to shoot today, at least around where I live. Sure, it was a bright sunny day but that just highlighted how dirty and dull everything is this time of year. It says a lot about a place when the cemetery is the most interesting, photogenic place in town. …
365-32 All about texture
I took a quick trip through the cemetery thinking I would get some kind of goose or duck picture at the pond. That didn’t work out so I drove throught looking for something interesting. I liked the moss on this statue. I’ve been trying not to do too many texture overlay images lately but I think it really enhanced the…
