Every year at this time I get a small crop of mushrooms that pop up in my yard, usually around 10 days or so after my last mow. And every year I try to photograph them and present them in a different way because, really, how many ways can you show mushrooms growing in a lawn? The crop this year…

A little structure is good
Literally, a little structure. One of many hunting stands in the area. Some can get elaborate but most are of the few 2×4’s in a tree variety. This one, I would say, falls in between.
Fall of no color
I snapped this photo of a rural road today as part of my annual autumn theme photos. Since it’s still relatively early in the season the color wasn’t quite fully developed and a lot of the leaves were still green. The scene was nice but not nice enough. Instead of a wasted shot I wondered what the photo would look like in…
A spider in a dewy web
Just like the post title says! Not my usual type of photo but who can resist grabbing a good spider picture? I don’t care for the background in this one but it was in the weeds and everything was a bit crowded. I’m sure this is a common type of field spider but I don’t know what it is. Anybody?
Nothing too technical this time around
I promise no more gear talk for a while. At least not as in-depth as that last post. Let’s get back to images starting with some hay bales I spotted in the fog this morning. Cliché I know, but it’s autumn! I’m sure you can’t wait for the obligatory pumpkin pictures! 😉 For the record though I did shoot this with the…
My impressions of the Canon EOS M camera
What’s this? A camera review? Well, not really, more of an opinion. I generally keep the gear talk to a minimum around here but I thought I would give my impressions of the Canon EOS M camera and 22mm f2 lens. That’s right, a very timely look at a camera that was released a couple of years ago 😉 and…
Camera testing in antique stores
Last post I briefly touched on the fact that I purchased a Canon EOS M camera and was in the process of testing it out. What I didn’t mention was the reason for the purchase. Regular readers would know that I use Pentax DSLR cameras and I am quite happy with them. I’m used to the way they operate and…
Time to take care of business again
Unfortunately summer has come to an end here in the northern hemisphere. It’s that time again for chilly nights and pumpkin beer. 😉 I have to say although I do like some aspects of autumn I’m just not feeling it this year. Summer seemed all too short. The weather never really got “summery” until late August so I was just…
Much anticipated follow up
Man, this week has been flying by! I’ve been so busy that I forgot I wanted to follow up my last post with some color photos of the flowers. As I mentioned last time, I wasn’t super thrilled with what I shot but, considering this will probably wrap up any flower photos for this year, I figured one last blast won’t…
Down, but not out (until Saturday)
I got hit with yet another cold this past week. I think that makes at least three weekends this past year that I was sick and the symptoms from last weekends cold are still sticking around this weekend. I have my energy back for the most part but there still is that lingering “just not right” feeling. It didn’t help…
