We had some freezing rain along with a little more snow last night. My truck was encased in the frozen fun and before I thawed it out, I grabbed a few photos of the icicles hanging from it in various spots. It would have been a good day to head out into the woods and get some frozen nature shots…

Bridges
Bridges – Utah Phillips and Ani DiFranco – “The Past Didn’t Go Anywhere” In honor of a really cool song by two talented artists. I spotted this bridge while traveling around today and thought it just had something about it. I’ve been past this bridge probably hundreds of times yet it just caught my eye today. I don’t know why and I’m…
Filtered flowers
Well, after yesterdays protest blackout, I thought it would be nice to return with some flowers. But because this is winter and there isn’t a flower in site, I had to look in my files for some photos I took in the past. I had spent a day last spring in a nearby park and took what seemed like a gazillion flower photos.…
Like snow, man
It finally snowed! Considering this is winter, I’m considering that as a good thing. I know a lot of people like mild temperatures and no snow in the winter but I think things are just too ugly this time of year without snow. Mild temperatures just mean it’s going to rain all of the time and I’d rather have snow than…
The color works…but
Yes, I’m still digging into my archives because I haven’t been out shooting for the past week. It seems like forever to me but I’m sure most readers don’t even notice. Looking at photos from this time last year, I noticed that we had a nice covering of snow which, of course, makes things somewhat pretty around here. When there is no snow…
A new photo!
I’m still kind of on my photography hiatus but I actually took some photos today. Waking up to a fresh blanket of snow this morning, I started the winter routine of shoveling the sidewalks. I live on a corner lot in the city so I have to shovel all of the way around the corner in addition to the walks and…
365-361 Take a bad shot…
…and make it badder. My apologies to the Beatles This is really a grab shot. Taken out of my windshield while driving through town. It was incredibly dark and raining constantly all day which thwarted me from going on any photo journeys. I did go out to run some errands though and took a quick spin through town to see if I…
365-352 Dead leaves and the dirty ground
The White Stripes – “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground” Now for my version. We had a little snow yesterday and I noticed the wet dead leaves in my yard this morning. I like the rich brown color and textures. Too bad I don’t own a proper macro lens because it would have been nice to get even closer to…
365-347 Baby it’s cold outside
These “job-site” photos will be coming to an end soon and, hopefully, I’ll be able diversify a little for the final weeks of my 365. Considering the circumstances of being basically in one place all day, I found an amazing amount of subjects. I worked at making mundane normal things (normal for a landfill construction site, at least) look somewhat interesting,…
It’s bokeh time!
After I did my 365 shot today the rain changed over to snow. I thought that would be a good time to drag out the Super-Takumar 50mm lens and take a few wide open bokeh shots. These photos were taken behind a shopping plaza. Enjoy!
