As promised last night, here’s a few extra shots from yesterday. Like I mentioned, I had to go to Columbus, Ohio and along the way is Dawes Arboretum. I didn’t have too much time to spend there but I made a detour to check it out and see what was available to shoot. This early in the year, I didn’t…

365-81 Still water
I don’t come across still water reflections too often so I was thrilled to get this shot. I know the “reflecting trees shot” has been done often, and usually to better effect, but it was fun to try. I had to go to Columbus on business today so I swung by Dawes Arboretum to see what was there. I didn’t expect much…
365-69 Mellow Yellow
Yellow can be a bright cheerful color, especially after a drab winter. I didn’t head out to shoot yellow, or any other color, today. It’s still raining for the second day and I really didn’t feel like walking around and getting soaking wet so I tried to find subjects from my car. I took a shot of reflections while waiting…
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…
365-64 Wet stuff
Another rainy day. I don’t mind it though. A couple of days of rain followed by some sun and things start getting a little brighter and colorful and, hopefully, a little cleaner and all traces of winter are gone. Rainy days do present some nice photo opportunities, IF you are somewhere where such opportunities exist. I would liked to have taken…
365-53 Make up day
I’m going to try to make up for the lame shot I did yesterday. I had an early appointment this morning and woke up to six inches of fresh snow. I figured a new fresh blanket of white should help me get creative again. It did, but I didn’t really take any “snow” shots, nor did I venture far from…
365-47 Let it flow
I visited a different park today for a change of scenery. But considering the time of year and the mild temperatures, everything is a little drab and colorless. I decided to focus on smaller subjects, such as this small waterfall over a rock. I know the standard thing to do for such a shot is a long exposure to blur…
365-43 Duck pond revisited
Another visit to the pond in the local cemetery today. It’s always a good place to get a shot and there’s always ducks, geese, turkeys and deer roaming around. I stuck with the ducks today. I had to deal with some lens flare in this shot and the sun is a little brighter than I would like, but “work with…
