One photo a day challenge: Day 106. I am not great with plants. I am especially bad at keeping potted plants alive. The likelihood of a plant surviving decreases exponentially if it is an indoor house plant. I love plants. And I really enjoy house plants. But it often turns into a cycle of buying new plants for the house after each previous plant dies a quick death. Orchids always say they… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 105. I thought I knew exactly what I was going to do for my photographs today. Our white husky, Mojo, had spent a lot of the day outside in the rain. I wanted to photograph his damp, muddy, and stinky self and talk about how much he loves the rain. But, Colton had other ideas. I called Mojo down to the bedroom so I could photograph… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 104. I have been trying to work in photography of subjects I don’t often work with. This cemetery is right near where I run frequently. Today on my way to go for a run I stopped and photographed the cemetery a little bit first. I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do at first. I was just looking for something that interested me. The trees… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 103. I get up early every morning so that I will have time to accomplish two things before I have to go to work. Most days I want to get a workout in. And every day I also want to get into my home office and work on photography projects. However, spending the morning in the home office can have a cost. If I am in… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 102. The gloominess and rain continued throughout the day today. With the weather less than ideal for what I typically consider my ideal photography I wasn’t sure what I would photograph. However, as a photographer one thing you eventually learn is weather is your friend. Weather is always your friend. You just might not see it in the moment. It might often seem like weather is… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 101. I spent the winter trying to keep some of the flowers I planted in pots last spring and summer alive. It is unclear how many have survived. But there are some that are clearly showing signs of life. Some plants are beginning to grow new stems and leaves. Two plants that are of the same variety seem to be doing particularly well. This Gerbera Daisy… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 100. I spent this morning at one of our local parks hoping to photograph migratory birds that tend to show up around this time of year each year. Unfortunately, the migratory birds did not make an appearance today. Hopefully I will see them soon. So, no migratory bird photos or observations. But a day outside enjoying some fresh air, nature, and watching some birds is still… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 99. Today I was able to visit a place I really enjoy. And the funny part is I have been here plenty and its always a good time. But somehow I am not sure I have ever come here specifically for photography. Spencer Crest Today I spent time on the trails at Spencer Crest Nature Center. I just meandered around and absorbed the nature. My initial… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 98. I finally got around to visiting a place that I have been wanting to visit for a few years now. I was unaware of this place existing until the past few years. It’s so close to me yet remained invisible. I heard of it because I saw that a trail race was being put on there. I haven’t been able to run the race yet,… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 97. I love plants and flowers. But I am never very successful with keeping house plants alive. Maybe I am not good at following directions. Perhaps I am just not attentive enough. Or I may just not pay close enough attention. Taking care of a house plant seems so simple on its face. But there does need to be a degree of attention paid. I need… Read More
