…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…
365-94 Have you ever seen the rain?
My wife and I were in a strip mall parking lot and had to wait out a heavy rainstorm while sitting in my truck. Well, we didn’t really have to wait it out because we had nothing we needed to do anyhow ;-). But I didn’t feel like driving through the thunderstorm, so we hung out and enjoyed a Starbucks. While waiting, I looked…
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…
365-92 Well, I could tell that they was mine…
…from the oil and gasoline – ZZ Top “Blue Jean Blues” I spotted this glove in a picture I took the other day of the oil tanks and knew I had to try to get a picture of it. I went out today specifically to shoot it and I just beat a heavy rain by seconds after I got the…
365-91 Like a zombie
That’s the way I felt today when I was out and trying to find a photo subject. After a while I just quit and gave up on the idea. I didn’t want to go out of may way to maybe find a new subject and just waste gas chasing something I wasn’t even sure was there. So I just relaxed…
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.…
365-89 Fun, well not really, with plastic
Today started out bad and kind of destroyed my mood for the day. I didn’t go out to shoot anything so I had to look around the house. My wifes plastic hair clip was sitting on a table so I tried some macro shots of it. All shots were done with a Super-Takumar 50mm, wide open except for the last overall shot…
365-88 Familiar color scheme
The only place in town that has bright colors and is somewhat clean is an industrial supply warehouse. This is a gate entrance that caught my eye as I was traveling past the building. I think the blue and yellow combination works well for photos. I’m including another picture I took earlier in the year at another location. Both with K20D and…
365-87 Classic still life
Thought I would do a fake painting shot for today. Really fake – even the fruit is plastic! My Rembrandt lighting consists of window light from almost straight on. I was just doing a lens test when I shot the fruit and afterwards I thought it would make a good textured shot. The original picture didn’t turn out too bad…
