I was sitting at a stop light and noticed this large pink tree in someones yard. I had my camera in the truck and snapped a photo before moving on. I really like the spring blossoms and all of the colors of the spring season. I think it would be cool if some trees were as colorful all of the…

Small signs of spring (No blues for the blues)
Considering this is the middle of March in Pennsylvania, the weather has been incredibly warm the past week. The forecast for the next week calls for more of the same, so one can’t help but think spring. Even though it technically becomes spring this week, I just hope nothing happens, like a freak snowstorm in April, to destroy the mood. One…
Got wood?
A couple of earthy, woody shots for today. I don’t think I’ll win any composition awards with these but I liked the general warmth of the photos. I processed the photos with a warming filter, which basically steers the color balance towards yellow. It’s a bit of an extreme shift, and one that wouldn’t work well in a lot of situations, but I think it…
Spring color…..(sort of)
Considering the mild winter we had and the warm temperatures forecasted for the coming week, one can’t help but think of spring. But no matter how warm and sunny, we won’t see much spring color around here for at least another month or two. It starts with the grass getting greener, then the flowers and blossoms start blooming and finally…
That’s amore
“When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie…” I was looking through some of my archives to see what kind of shots I was taking last year at this time, just trying to compare the weather and such, when I came across this photo. This was taken when, I believe, the moon was supposed to be closest…
365-138 Mingo Creek
I took a spin through the county park after it finally stopped raining this afternoon. I wanted to try my hand at some flowing water shots and since I don’t own a ND filter yet I had to wait until the light level dropped. And, wouldn’t you know it, as I reached the park the SUN started shining! It was nice to…
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…
365-132 Move along, nothing to see here.
Surprise, the rain is back. Looks like another seven-day stretch. Had a nice hailstorm this afternoon and I took a shot of my windshield:-(. I know, I know – it’s lame, but it’s all I have right now. I also drove through the park and although there wasn’t much to shoot I took a few shots into the woods. I liked the…
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. After running some errands, my wife and I stopped for a drive-through dinner and parked my truck under a tree at the corner of the parking lot.…
365-122 Shopping for photos
My budget may be busted right now but I still like to get out and shop once in a while. Shopping for me usually consists of looking but not really buying. I like to research items I may be interested in the future or that I am simply curious about. For instance, I looked in the Apple store to see what my WordPress…
